Self Tapping Friction Hinges

Self-drilling and self-piercing screws are a type of fastener that combines drilling and fastening operations in a single action, removing the requirement for pre-drilling. They have a pointed head that allows the screw to self-tap into a panel. This reduces the amount of time and physical work necessary for fixing.

Easily driven into the surface with a power drill or screwdriver and provides a strong and secure hold. Ideal for use in applications where a high degree of strength and stability is required, such as in metalworking or construction.

Our range of Standoffs, which are commonly referred to as Hex Spacers or Standoff Pillars, are quick and easy to install thanks to their screw-in design. Our standoffs are available in both a non-undercut and undercut version. Non-undercut spacers offer greater stability, but require a washer for installation. Whereas undercut spacers are much quicker to install, and allow spacers to be stacked and do not require the use of a washer - making them a econonical solution. Our spacer range is also available in self-tapping types for mating with non-threaded fittings.

Our standoff spacers offering includes undercut male to female standoff made from either, nickel-plated brass, zinc-plated steel, aluminium or stainless steel, which are self-tapping. Female to female hex spacers made from brass, stainless steel, nickel-plated brass or zinc-plated steel. A self-tapping male to female hexagonal spacer made from nickel-plated hardened steel that's brass coloured. We also offer a round natural Nylon 6/6 push spacer.

Torque Hinges, also known as Friction Hinges, provide resistance to the hinges pivoting motion. This feature makes them ideal for applications, such as bonnets, lids, access panels, hatch covers and display devices, at specific angles for extended periods of time.

We offer Torque Hinges with screw adjustment; which articulate and hold the panel in position, thus eliminating the need for a gas strut or lid stay. The torque value can be adjusted by turning the inbuilt screw. Our Adjustable Hinges are made from Aluminium with a choice of either a Clear or Black Anodised finish.

• M6 Female and M5 Male Screw Fittings
• Leaf Shapes: Square and Rectangular.

These Dual Axis Torque Hinges are made from Stainless Steel and are ideal for use as pivoting monitor mounts. The fixed torque value allows the hinge to swivel in a smooth and controlled fashion in either direction.
