Sheet metal hinge

A sheet metal hinge is a tiny yet very cool tool which allows two different things to move or rotate together over an unchanging point. It is like a hinge that enables things to open and close effortlessly. It is a folding hinge, and it appears to be that the metal strip has been folded very carefully in order for its sinuous shape to take place. It can be made of all types of metals from aluminum to brass and even stainless steel. Every type of metal has its own unique characteristics that can increase or alter the strength and function of the hinge

But what is it about sheet metal that makes a hinge work? Jiayi sheet metal manufacturing makes it so that the first object moves and leaves the other in place The hinge is the point located at a separation of two objects and works as joint, similar to knees or elbow in our body. It provides the link that allows these objects to bend, and rotate backwards without jittering about. Doors would be impossible and operation-less, were it not for hinges.

Common types of sheet metal hinges and their uses.

Butt hinge: This is the most commonly used type of hinges you have ever seen. There are two flat metal plates screwed onto each object. Since the hinge is placed in the middle, both plates can rotate together about a common point. These hinges, also called butt-hinges are removable for mounting and are used in a variety of different designs that need to open close easily such as on doors, cabinets etc

Continuous piano hinge: Piano hinges are the left hand hinged counterpart of continuous weight bearing type hinge that run essentially across an entire side length uninterrupted. T-Strap hinges are usually longer than butt hinged and used weather in need of extra strength and support. They can be found on pianos, which is why they are called piano hinges but also used for toolboxes and heavy-duty equipment that needs a fine support.
