CFM-PC hinges with integrated electric cable
New from Elesa, the CFM-PC hinge in UL-94 V0 self-extinguishing technopolymer integrates the mechanical function of a standard hinge with the possibility to transmit electrical current from a jamb to the attached door.
The UL-94 V0 certification confirms that the material, when subjected to a vertical burn test, extinguishes within 10 seconds without producing flaming drips. This ensures a high level of safety in case of accidental exposure to heat sources or open flames - an essential requirement for applications in industrial environments, laboratories, or portable equipment where protection against fire hazards is critical.
It eliminates the presence of visible and unaesthetic cables or cable-gland 'bridges'. And it protects cables during door or structure movement, ensuring they do not get damaged or caught on any obstacles.
The compact size, various mounting and cable output options make this product easy to install, while the 8-pin cable allows the user to interface with various devices such as light points, electric locks, and any handles with an electrical switch.
The CFM-PC hinge can be combined with one or more complementary hinges, CFM-PCN or handles with electrical switch EBR-SWM, EBR-SWB and M.2000-SWM. In case of a horizontal door opening or of a limited weight, it is possible to use one hinge only. Complementary hinges are available in SUPER-technopolymer (CFM-PCN) and in self-extinguishing certified technopolymer (CFM-PCN-AE-V0).
Standard executions are available in two versions: SH - with pass-through holes for countersunk head screws; and B - with nickel-plated brass bushings and a threaded hole.
