Hinge for vending machines and interactive terminals

Concealed hinge for a charging terminal flap

Charging terminal flap for electric vehicles, attached with a PINET stainless steel concealed hinge

This long-standing customer in the field of terminals and access flaps contacted us for a new project.

They needed concealed hinges to attach a charging terminal access flap for electric vehicles.

A standard hinge met their needs with regard to the dimensions and the type of joint desired. However, as the customer’s application was by the sea, a corrosion-resistant hinge was required.

Our Design Office therefore proposed a variation of the concealed hinge from the catalogue, but with a modification of the material. Our engineers opted for 316L stainless steel, which is known for its salt spray resistance.

Technical characteristics:

  • The hinge is concealed when the flap is closed.
  • Hinges made from a corrosion-resistant material (316L stainless steel).

Customer benefits:

  • Integration of the hinge into the existing design.
  • Reduced design time and cost as the proposed concealed hinge is similar to the standard version.
