About the Product

Product Overview

The Atasan K23 oven door hinge has been developed for modern built-in oven applications where user comfort, controlled motion, and compact integration are key design priorities. Combining a compression spring system with an integrated damper mechanism, the K23 provides controlled door movement throughout the operating range while supporting a refined user experience.
Its compact short-arm architecture makes it suitable for vertically mounted oven door applications, while maintaining the performance characteristics required for premium appliance platforms.

Soft Motion Technology

The K23 incorporates an integrated damper system designed to control door movement during both opening and closing operations.
By regulating motion speed, the damper contributes to smoother door behavior, reduced impact forces, and quieter operation. The system supports controlled movement characteristics throughout the door travel, enhancing overall usability and perceived product quality.

Soft Motion Features

-Controlled closing movement

-Reduced impact during door closing

-Low-noise operation

-Smooth user interaction

Cam-Roller Torque Control System

A specially developed cam-roller mechanism manages torque characteristics across the full opening and closing range.
This system contributes to balanced motion behavior while allowing spring and damper characteristics to be configured according to different door weights and application requirements.
The result is a consistent operating feel throughout the movement cycle.

Compression Spring Balancing System

The K23 utilizes a compression spring architecture capable of generating high balancing forces within a compact installation space.
This design supports efficient integration while maintaining the force characteristics required for various oven door configurations.
Its balancing system can be adapted through different spring combinations, allowing compatibility with a broad range of door weights.

Optional Grill Position & Intermediate Stop

The hinge platform can be configured with additional functional positions depending on application requirements.
Through its cam-guided mechanism, the K23 can support:

-Grill position functionality

-Intermediate stop (stopper) positions

-Defined holding angles

-Continuous motion characteristics

This flexibility enables multiple operating concepts to be achieved within the same hinge architecture.

Compact Design & Integration

The K23 Short Arm version is designed for vertical installation inside the oven door, supporting efficient use of available installation space.
Its compact structure makes it suitable for modern built-in ovens while maintaining compatibility with automated production environments.

Structural Strength & Surface Protection

The hinge body is manufactured from cold-rolled sheet metal and reinforced with durable mechanical components.
Zn coating technology is applied to support corrosion resistance and long-term durability in demanding appliance environments.

Assembly & Serviceability

The door connection system combines a wedge-type mounting geometry with an ergonomic locking plate mechanism.
This structure supports practical assembly and disassembly operations during both production and service processes.

Integration Features

-Top, side, and front mounting options

-Wedge-type door connection system

-Ergonomic locking plate

-Compatible with automated production lines

Durability & Operating Performance

The K23 is developed for oven environments with operating temperatures of up to 115°C.
Testing references include ≥20,000 opening and closing cycles, providing an engineering benchmark for performance evaluation under repeated use conditions.
The hinge is designed to support door weights between 2.5 and 12 kg, with static load capacities exceeding 25 kg depending on application requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

What range of oven door weights is the K23 Short hinge designed for?

The K23 Short hinge is designed for oven doors weighing between 2.5 kg and 12 kg. This range allows it to support controlled soft-close and soft-open motion across various appliance models, contributing to a smooth and balanced user experience for doors within these specifications.

How does the K23 Short hinge perform in high-temperature oven environments?

This hinge system is developed to operate in thermal conditions up to 115°C (239°F). The materials and damping fluid used in its soft-close mechanism are selected to support consistent motion behavior and functional stability in thermally demanding environments typical of modern oven applications.

What is the maximum opening angle for this soft-close hinge?

The K23 Short hinge is engineered with a maximum opening angle of 86 degrees. This defined travel path is intended to provide sufficient access to the oven cavity while helping to prevent the door from overextending or impacting adjacent cabinetry in typical built-in kitchen installations.

What kind of durability testing has the K23 Short hinge undergone?

The K23 Short hinge has been evaluated in life cycle tests referencing 20,000 cycles under defined laboratory conditions. This testing is used as an engineering validation tool to assess the mechanical consistency and motion quality of the soft-close system over repeated use in representative appliance scenarios.

What are the key load and geometry considerations for this hinge?

The K23 Short is designed to support doors where the center of gravity is up to 230 mm from the pivot point. While it is designed for a maximum static load of 25 kg, its soft-motion performance is optimized for dynamic door weights between 2.5 and 12 kg.
