Reell introduces dual-ended attachment design

St. Paul, Minnesota – Reell has introduced a dual-ended attachment design as an additional mounting-profile option for newly patented TI-300 Series torque inserts. The dual-ended attachment version (developed for the TI-340 package) allows use of a single torque insert in an application and results in even load bearing and design stability.

 

This latest innovation expands the portfolio of TI-300 Series mounting profiles, which also include exposed shaft end, knurled zinc adapter (for installation into plastics), and one-way bearing adapter. All TI-300 Torque Inserts press-fit into round holes for quick and easy installation in just one step – eliminating any need for mounting hardware, reducing the overall cost of end-product solutions, and enhancing cosmetics by removing the visible appearance of a hinge.

 

TI-300 Series Torque Inserts ultimately serve as advanced positioning and pivoting technology solutions uniquely developed to outmaneuver conventional hinges. They enable reliable, precise, and controlled positioning of equipment and components for a wide range of hinging applications in the consumer electronics, automotive, aircraft interior, medical technology, workstation furniture, kiosk/data terminal, and architectural lighting industries, among others. Fully qualified service life of 50,000 cycles ensures unmatched functionality over time.

 

The series is currently offered in two compact package sizes (TI-320 and TI-340) manufactured with powdered metal housings and generating high torque for their size. Depending on model, torque capabilities range from 0.5N-m (4.4 lb-in) to 5.0N-m (44.3 lb-in). Symmetric or one-way torque options are available.

 

Patented ReellTorq clip technology eliminates the need for adjustment and offers smooth and precise position control, and consistent torque.

 

Custom products can be developed to meet particular applications.
