Roton continuous geared hinges and stainless steel continuous hinges are UL listed under UL file # R14627.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
Hager uses environmentally friendly material in its packaging where available.
PHYSICAL/CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
Hager's anti-friction bearing hinges are functionally engineered to throw the knuckle weight against specially hardened steel raceways, which in turn ride on the anti-friction bearing surfaces. The 1-piece cup protects the bearings from moisture and dust. The cup supports no weight so it is not subjected to functional friction, pressure or wear. Lateral wear is minimized since the pin is held against thrust by the hardened steel top and bottom raceways. The bearing units are securely press-fit to the leaf knuckle to prevent loss when the hinge is disassembled.
Oiliteª bearings are made of porous metal that has been press-formed and impregnated with oil. The slight pressure and heat generated when the door is operated cause the oil to come to the surface of the bearing, causing the surface to be slick and smooth.
Nylon bearings are made of resilient engineering plastics that provide a self-lubricant and very strong bearing surface. The nylon acts as a cushion for the door yet allows the door to flow smoothly on the surface of the nylon with an extremely low wear factor. Lubriloy RL is an engineered nylon.
