Hello,
I am working on a device that incorporates a hinge with 2 static positions. When the hinge is opened there is resistance to movement up to an apex point whereup the hinge accelerates itself to its second position to rest.
I have designed A hub utilising opposing cams arranges concentrically around the hubs axis which push against each other aided by a spring .One of the cams having relief space to slide in and out of engagements with the two resting points.
Rotary travel 90-180 degrees (although nice if I could modify)
Hopefully I have described this clearly enough...can you tell me (if you know what I am talking about)if you have seen any hubs like this available that I could buy and incorporate so I dont have to make it.
for this unit I am looking for an outside diameter of approx 6mm total length of 10mm max (1/4"by 2/5") Will fit inside two cuffs that are the same diameter on the same axis of rotation and these rotate against each othe with the 2 position hub hinge connecting them together
What is the usual name for this kind of hub/hinge?
Is there anything else available that can provide the same function?
Thanks for your help
Steve
