At norelem you will find a wide selection of hinges in various sizes, materials and version. Our hinges are robust and can be used for a wide range of applications. They are made of high-quality materials and offer a long service life.
       

Hinge properties

Our selection is mainly differentiated by the material of the base body and the type of fastening. Our range also includes various hinge designs.

Types of fastening for hinges

norelem offers a wide range of hinges that are suitable for various applications. Each hinge has its own fastening method. The fastening type of a hinge determines how it is attached to the structure.

The following fastening types are included in the product range:

• Fastening holes
• Fastening nuts
• Fastening screws
• Bushes
• Bushes and fastening screws
• Elongated holes
• Weldable

Fastening holes are one of the most common types of fastening for hinges. They allow the hinge to be fastened directly to the structure by drilling holes in the material. This type of fastening is particularly useful if the hinge is to remain in a certain position.

Fastening nuts are another way of attaching hinges. These nuts can be screwed directly onto the material and allow the hinge to be screwed tight. This type of fastening is particularly useful for applications with high loads or vibrations.

Fastening screws allow the hinge to be fastened directly to the structure, providing a strong connection between the hinge and the material. This type of fastening is also particularly suitable for applications with vibrations and high loads.

Bushes can be screwed directly onto the material. In addition to screwing on the hinge, the position of the hinge can also be varied. This type of fastening is perfect for applications with hard-to-reach areas or places on the structure.

The combination of bushes and fastening screws offers even more flexibility than any other fastening method from norelem. This combination allows you to vary the position of the hinge while ensuring the strength of the material – ideal for applications with high loads or vibrations and hard-to-reach areas on the structure.

With elongated holes, the distance of the hinge can be varied and the locking position of the material can be guaranteed at the same time.

When using weldable hinges, the distance of the hinge can be varied and the locking position of the material can be guaranteed at the same time.
      

Material of the base body

Our hinges are made of high-quality materials such as steel, aluminium, thermoplastic, zinc and stainless steel (including A2 and A4 stainless steel).

These materials ensure high stability of the hinges and a long service life.

The best-selling hinges at norelem are stainless steel hinges. Stainless steel hinges are very popular due to their robustness and durability.

The surface of the hinges can also be treated with various coating processes such as galvanisation or powder coating to protect the surface from corrosion. In addition, the surfaces can be polished or painted to achieve the desired look.

Areas of application for hinges

Hinges can be used in various areas of application, from the automotive industry and mechanical engineering to furniture manufacturing and electronics.

Hinges are suitable for all areas of application. Plastic hinges with locking function are used, for example, for doors made of Makrolon. With the locking function, the doors can be fixed in two specific positions so that the doors cannot move on their own.

Hinges are also used in, for example, the following applications:

• as a door or window hinge to open or close doors or windows
• as a folding or rotating mechanism for furniture
• as a clamping or locking mechanism for machine elements
• as a rod or angle mechanism for frame construction
• as a fastening mechanism for mounting plates
• as a damper mechanism for vibration-damping elements

The correct adjustment of screws is particularly important for stainless steel screws, as these can react particularly sensitively to incorrect adjustment. To achieve optimum adjustment accuracy, we recommend our specially developed tools for adjusting the accuracy of stainless steel screws.

With this tool, the adjustment accuracy of the stainless steel screw can be adjusted precisely without running the risk of damaging the thread form of the thread.
          

Hinge sizes at norelem

The size of a hinge depends on the application for which it is used. There are smaller hinges for light applications and larger hinges for heavier applications.

When it comes to hinge size, a distinction is made between length and width. norelem offers hinge lengths from 9.7 mm to 186 mm.
