About the Product

Product Overview

The Atasan C12 glass lid hinge has been developed for upper oven doors and glass lid applications requiring increased load capacity, stable positioning, and reliable operation. Combining spring force and friction characteristics, the hinge supports balanced lid movement while helping maintain controlled positioning at different opening angles.

Featuring an aluminum or zamak alloy body construction, the C12 is particularly suitable for applications requiring higher strength, improved thermal resistance, and enhanced durability.

Spring & Friction Balancing System

The C12 operates through a combination of spring force and friction to balance lid loads throughout the operating range.

This mechanism supports stable positioning at various opening angles while contributing to controlled movement during opening and closing operations.

Metal Body Construction

The hinge is available with aluminum or zamak alloy body options developed for demanding appliance environments.

Compared to lightweight plastic alternatives, the metal body construction provides increased structural strength and enhanced thermal stability.

Structural Strength & Thermal Performance

Designed for operating temperatures of up to 115°C, the C12 is suitable for cooking appliances and other heat-exposed applications.

Its robust construction supports door and lid weights between 1.5 and 6 kg while maintaining stable operating characteristics.

Safety & Controlled Operation

The spring and friction system helps reduce sudden closing movements that may occur during operation.

This contributes to more controlled lid behavior and supports applications where glass components are used.

OEM Integration & Manufacturing

The C12 has been developed for efficient integration into appliance manufacturing processes.

Its compact architecture and durable construction support compatibility with high-volume production environments and a wide range of appliance platforms.

Why C12?

  • Spring and friction-assisted balancing system
  • Supports stable positioning at different opening angles
  • Helps reduce sudden closing movements
  • Suitable for glass lid applications
  • Aluminum or zamak alloy body options
  • Enhanced thermal resistance for demanding environments
  • Higher load capacity compared to plastic-body alternatives
  • Controlled and stable lid movement
  • Suitable for elevated-temperature appliance applications
  • OEM manufacturing compatibility
