Core Product Features & Advantages
2.1 Full SUS304 Stainless Steel Construction for Superior Corrosion Resistance
The entire hinge, including both leaves and the pivot pin, is fabricated from premium SUS304 stainless steel, providing excellent resistance to rust, oxidation, moisture, salt spray and weak acid/alkali corrosion. The precision grinding surface further enhances the corrosion resistance while producing a consistent satin metallic finish that maintains its appearance over years of service in both indoor workshops and outdoor exposed environments.
2.2 Oval Rounded-End Design for Refined Aesthetic Appeal
The unique oval rounded-end leaf design eliminates sharp corners, providing a clean, furniture-grade appearance that is both visually appealing and safe to handle. This design makes the hinge suitable for visible exterior mounting on premium equipment, furniture doors and decorative enclosures where appearance matters.
2.3 Thin 2.5mm Plate Profile for Flush Low-Profile Installation
The 2.5mm thin plate profile allows the hinge to mount flush with minimal protrusion, creating a sleek and unobtrusive installation. Despite its slim profile, the SUS304 stainless steel construction maintains sufficient structural rigidity and load-bearing capacity for medium-weight cabinet doors.
2.4 Six Countersunk Holes for Secure Flush Installation
Six standard 90° countersunk mounting holes (Φ5.6 through holes with Φ10 counterbores) allow M5 flat head screws to sink completely into the hinge plate, creating a clean flush surface with no protruding fasteners. The six-point fixation pattern distributes load evenly and prevents hinge loosening caused by vibration and mechanical impact.
2.5 Φ5 Solid Steel Pivot Pin for Stable Rotation
The Φ5 solid steel central pin ensures tight assembly clearance, low-friction rotation and high wear resistance. Precision machining maintains wobble-free operation over tens of thousands of open-close cycles, preventing hinge play, gap enlargement and door sagging.
2.6 180° Full Flat Opening Angle
The 180-degree maximum opening angle enables the cabinet door to lay completely flat against the cabinet side panel, eliminating operational blind zones and providing full unobstructed access for internal wiring, component replacement, equipment inspection and routine maintenance work.
Application Fields
- Electrical control cabinets, low-voltage distribution boxes, frequency converter enclosures and PLC equipment housings
- Laboratory testing instruments, portable measuring devices and analytical equipment housings
- Communication equipment cabinets, indoor server boxes and signal transfer enclosures
- Outdoor monitoring equipment, weather-resistant instrument panels and coastal equipment enclosures
- Furniture doors, cabinetry, woodworking projects and decorative equipment enclosures
- Food processing equipment, stainless steel sanitary cabinets and cleanroom facility enclosures
- Medical equipment casings, environmental monitoring devices and electronic instrument panels
Installation & Maintenance Guidelines
Step-by-Step Installation Procedures
- Mark six drilling positions according to the technical drawing (20mm vertical spacing, horizontal layout 9+20+20+27mm), drill Φ5.6 through holes and machine 90° countersunk counterbores
- Align the CL238-1 hinge flat against the cabinet mounting surface
- Fasten with M5 flat head screws through all six countersunk holes for secure flush fixation
- Test the 180° opening movement for smooth rotation and verify hinge stability under door load
- Retighten all screws periodically to prevent loosening from long-term mechanical vibration
Installation Quantity Recommendation
- Door height ≤600mm: Install 2 hinges in symmetrical arrangement
- Door height 600mm to 1000mm or medium-weight door: Install 3 hinges for balanced stress distribution
Maintenance Instructions
- Suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments, including damp, coastal and mildly corrosive conditions; for extreme chemical environments, regular inspection is recommended
- Wipe the ground stainless steel surface periodically with a soft dry cloth to remove dust, grease and water stains; avoid abrasive cleaners that may scratch the satin finish
- Apply a small amount of stainless steel-compatible dry lubricant to the Φ5 pivot pin every six months to maintain smooth and quiet rotation
- Inspect mounting screw tightness quarterly, especially on equipment subject to continuous vibration
