Solutions in use - practical examples from the industry

Our components are more than just parts - they are part of functioning systems. Each project represents an individual challenge and a well thought-out solution. Here we show specific applications in which our hinges, latches and customised solutions are used - including the added value for our customers.

1. Bus manufacturer: Multi-joint hinges for tight installation spaces

Industry: Commercial vehicle construction
Application: Maintenance hatches in the lower side area and on the roof of the vehicle

A European manufacturer of buses and coaches needed a solution for maintenance hatches that could be opened wide despite the limited installation space without bumping into neighbouring components. We supplied customised multi-joint hinges that enable offset movement and have a particularly flat design.

Advantage for the customer:

  • No reworking of the housing thanks to precisely fitting mounting points
  • Robust steel construction with corrosion protection for a long service life
  • Additional tension locks supplied for vibration-proof locking

The project shows how we can elegantly solve space problems with customised solutions while also making installation and maintenance easier.

2. Railway supplier: Special hinges for switch cabinets in railcars

Industry: Railway 
Application: Electrical distribution boards in the interior of rail vehicles

A supplier to the railway industry required particularly flat, resilient hinges for switch cabinet doors that are installed in the narrow interior of a railcar. The challenge lay in the combination of extreme vibrations, high frequency of use and tight installation dimensions.

We developed a specially milled stainless steel hinge with concealed spring support for a smooth opening movement.

Advantage for the customer:

  • Smooth operation despite heavy doors
  • Long-term maintenance-free thanks to high-quality materials
  • Reduction in storage costs thanks to pre-assembly with counterparts

Our expertise in the railway sector and fast response time to design changes were crucial to the successful implementation.

3. smoking oven manufacturer: Temperature-resistant latches and hinges

Industry: Food 
Application: Doors of smoking and cooking chambers in industrial food processing

For a manufacturer of professional smoking ovens, we developed durable latches and hinges made of stainless steel that are exposed to temperatures of over 100 °C in regular cycles and must also remain hygienically flawless.

Advantage for the customer:

  • Heat and steam-resistant design for long-term reliability
  • Easy cleaning thanks to smooth, dead space-free surfaces
  • Food-grade stainless steel components

Thanks to our experience with hygiene-critical applications, the design was quickly transferred to series production.

4. agricultural machinery manufacturer: Maintenance flaps with tool-free quick-release fastener

Industry: Agricultural technology
Application: Engine and hydraulic covers for combine harvesters and tractors

Regular maintenance on agricultural machinery must be carried out quickly and without tools – even in dirty, dusty and vibrating conditions. We supplied robust quick-release fasteners with safety levers, combined with reinforced hinges to accommodate heavy door weights.

Advantage for the customer:

  • Tool-free opening – even with gloves
  • Capture-proof latches, no loose parts in the field
  • High corrosion resistance thanks to galvanisation plus powder coating

This significantly simplified machine maintenance and reduced downtime.

5. HVAC system manufacturer: Hinges for maintenance flaps with sealing concept

Industry: Air conditioning and ventilation technology
Application: Housings for ventilation units and air conditioning systems in buildings

A manufacturer of ventilation and air conditioning systems was looking for a reliable flap mechanism for its new housing line. The maintenance flaps needed to be airtight, but still easy to open. We supplied compact hinges made of die-cast aluminium with an integrated sealing solution and matching twist-lock latches.

Advantage for the customer:

  • Quick integration into the housing design thanks to standardised dimensions
  • No additional sealing required
  • Low weight with high stability

Thanks to our standard and customised solutions, the customer was able to significantly shorten its time-to-market.

6. energy & infrastructure technology: stainless steel components for outdoor control cabinets

Industry: electrical engineering
Application: outdoor control cabinets and distribution units (e.g. for wind farms, traffic control)

We supplied completely corrosion-resistant hinges, compression locks and seals for a manufacturer of weatherproof control cabinets. These components had to be UV-resistant, waterproof (IP65) and temperature-tolerant – while also being easy to operate.

Advantage for the customer:

  • Long-lasting function even in continuous use under extreme weather conditions
  • Tightness test according to IP standard passed
  • Customised laser engraving for series marking

Our expertise in the selection of suitable materials and our high level of flexibility in production enabled us to create an efficient and durable solution.
