Designed specifically for the demanding needs of global original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), this hinge exemplifies the perfect balance between robust durability and smooth operational efficiency. Whether you are manufacturing high-end kitchen appliances or specialized industrial equipment, the C12 provides the reliable motion control necessary to enhance user experience and ensure long-term product integrity. Backed by over 30 years of manufacturing excellence from Atasan Metal Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. in Turkey, this component is now readily available in the North American market to support your production lines with local delivery and expert technical support.
The technical profile of the C12 is meticulously documented to assist engineers in making informed decisions:
• Door Weight Capacity (1.5 – 6 kg): This specification ensures that the hinge can handle the dynamic loads of specific door sizes without sagging or failure.
• Maximum Distance to Center of Gravity (10): This is critical for calculating the torque requirements and ensuring that the door remains stable throughout its motion.
• Operating Temperature (Up to 115°C): High thermal resistance makes this hinge ideal for cooking appliances where heat dissipation and material stability are paramount.
• Life Cycle Durability: Tested for thousands of cycles to ensure that your appliances remain functional for years after they leave the factory floor.
The C12 is versatile and finds its place in a variety of sectors:
• Domestic Appliances: Perfect for ovens, microwave doors, and washing machine lids where space is limited but strength cannot be compromised.
• Commercial Kitchen Equipment: Its durability makes it suitable for high-frequency usage in professional environments.
• Industrial Panels: Can be used for access doors on machinery that requires reliable, heat-resistant hinging solutions.
The C12 is designed to support door weights ranging from 1.5 – 6 kg, making it ideal for the specified category of appliances.
Yes, it is rated for operation at temperatures up to 115°C, which is standard for high-heat appliance environments.

C11 / C12 – Glass Lid Hinges
Spring & Friction System (Plastic / Metal Options)
These hinges operate with a combination of spring force and friction to balance the glass lid weight and maintain stable positioning at different angles.
They prevent sudden closing, reducing the risk of glass breakage and improving user safety.
Metal versions offer higher temperature resistance and more stable performance in demanding applications.
