Our Torque Hinge HG-TB7R

Sugatsune America’s catalog of precision-engineered torque hinges includes compact, durable options for applications that require controlled movement, stable positioning, and reliable panel operation. The torque hinge HG-TB7R is designed for projects that require a lightweight right-hand hinge with a full 360° opening angle and consistent torque throughout its working range.

Built from stainless steel and weighing only 30g, the torque hinge HG-TB7R supports smaller-scale panels, displays, and equipment components where smooth motion and hold-position functionality are important. Its compact form factor makes it suitable for industrial applications, including  LCD monitors, equipment displays, inspection panels, and control interfaces.

The constant-torque hinge HG-TB7R delivers 6.1 lb·in. of torque per piece, making it a practical choice for lightweight doors, covers, screens, and pivoting components. Because the torque is non-adjustable, the HG-TB7R is best selected once the required torque, panel size, and operating range have been evaluated.

Applications for the Torque Hinge HG-TB7R

The HG-TB7R is designed for smaller, lightweight applications that need controlled rotational movement without a bulky hinge profile. Its 360° opening angle allows the mounted component to rotate fully, which can be useful when access, visibility, or flexible positioning is required.

Industrial l applications may include:

• LCD monitor positioning
• Stationary camera mounts
• Machine guards and access panels
• Control panels and equipment interfaces
• Inspection covers, test equipment, and small enclosure doors

For engineers, product designers, and fabricators, the constant torque hinge HG-TB7R offers a compact hardware solution for applications where a component must remain stable at different positions throughout its range of motion.

Explore the Entire HG-TB Series of Torque Hinges

Engineering and design requirements vary by panel weight, mounting orientation, movement range, and user interaction. The HG-TB series offers specifiers multiple torque ratings within a single compact hinge family, allowing the hinge to be selected based on the load and feel required for the application.

Each HG-TB torque hinge is made for indoor applications and provides a 360° opening angle. The series is available in right-hand and left-hand versions, with torque ratings ranging from 6.1 lbs·in to 39.8 lbs·in. 

This makes the series useful for projects ranging from lightweight display panels to heavier equipment covers or architectural components.

The full HG-TB series includes the following options:

When selecting a torque hinge, review the panel weight, center of gravity, hinge quantity, mounting position, direction of use, and required hold performance. If the HG-TB7R does not provide sufficient torque for the application, another model in the HG-TB series may provide a better fit.

FAQs

What is the difference between the HG-TA and HG-TB series of torque hinges?

The primary difference is the opening angle. The HG-TB series provides a full 360° opening angle, while the HG-TA series operates within a 0° to 180° opening range. 

Both series are designed for controlled movement, but the HG-TB series is better suited for applications where the mounted component must rotate fully.

How does the HG-TB7R compare to the other torque hinges in the HG-TB series?

The torque hinge HG-TB7R has the lowest torque rating in the HG-TB series, at 6.1 lbs·in per piece. This makes it appropriate for lighter components such as small display panels, monitor mounts, camera supports, access covers, and medical equipment. 

Larger or heavier panels may require the HG-TB20, HG-TB30, or HG-TB45 models.

Is the torque adjustable on the HG-TB7R hinge?

No. The HG-TB series is non-adjustable. The constant-torque hinge HG-TB7R provides a fixed torque value of 6.1 lbs·in per piece. For applications requiring a different resistance level, Sugatsune offers other HG-TB series models with torque ratings of 17.7, 26.5, and 39.8 lbs·in.

Can the HG-TB7R be used for both architectural and industrial applications?

Yes, but it was primarily developed for industrial applications. The HG-TB7R may be used in architectural applications such as display fixtures, cabinetry, office furniture, and specialty interior components, as well as industrial applications such as LCD monitors, stationary cameras, equipment displays, and control panels. Suitability depends on the panel weight, mounting orientation, and required torque.
