CUSTOM HYBRID SOLUTIONS
LINEARROTARY
Infinite Positioning (IP)
IP mechanisms allow for free range of motion with adequate holding torque for positioning.
Torque hinges and inserts
3D positioning Flex Arms
Torque hinges
Dual Axis Torque HingeFlex arms for product display
Torque hinge for Chrysler Stow-and-Go
Damping (D)
D mechanisms provide braking force for soft close/open and prevent slamming (of lids, covers, doors, etc.)
UDH Series Torque Dampers (7-34 Lbs/in)
Rotary Gear Dampers: tight tolerance viscous damping
Linear Strand Damper
Rotary Hinge Dampers
Linear Air Damper
Counterbalance (C)
C mechanisms feature springs that counteract the force of gravity to allow easier lifting and controlled descent of heavy objects
Weber Knapp’s Counterbalance Hinge Solutions
Detent Positioning (DP)
DP hinges create finite positioning angles and can hold objects closed or open. Reduced torques apply when not in detent
Detent Positioning Hinges
Position Locking (PL)
PL mechanisms allow for incremental or infinite locking of position for linear or rotary applications.
Linear PL: “Knapp Lock” (lock loads up to 1,500 lbs!)
Rotary PL: Variloc and Infiloc
Position Locking (PL)
Residual Magnetics (RM) is the science of creating a magnetic attraction between two ferrous objects without the need for
continual current flow.
Rotational
Translational
Axial
RM devices can inhibitmotion “forever” without electrical power
Features –
Low Power, Quiet, No Torque Lock, Fail-safe, Scalable
Applications –
Security Locks, Caster locks, Ergonomics, Robotics, Surgical/Medical
RM brake
