Soft close dampening hinge: soft-close damper keeps lid from slamming shut.
Operating angle: 115°.
If the opening angle is wider than 115° (+/5°), mechanism is broken and damper doesn’t work any longer.
Provide a door stopper to prevent from overturning beyond the prescribed angle range.
Do not force the door to close faster in damper effective direction. It can cause damage to the product.
When the door opening angle is small, the dampers may not work smoothly.
Torque moment (pair): 10 to 14 N.m.
Torque calculation:
Torque (N.m) = L (m) x 1/2 x W (kg) x 9.8 with:
• L = door height in metre.
• W = door weight in kilo.
Operating temperature: 0 to +40°C
2 damper working directions available:
• part number 54-7-3543: damper working direction when opening the hinge (as shown by the arrow on the drawing).
• part number 54-7-3544: damper working direction when closing the hinge (not shown).
