Mod 94

The Mod 94 oven door hinge has been developed for built-in and freestanding oven applications requiring balanced door operation across a broad range of door configurations. Combining a high-strength extension spring with an integrated friction mechanism, the hinge is designed to support controlled motion characteristics and stable door positioning throughout the operating range.

Its adaptable architecture allows multiple door weight configurations to be covered with a common hinge platform, helping manufacturers simplify product integration and component management.

The integrated friction mechanism works in combination with the spring system to contribute to balanced door movement and positioning stability.

Its application-oriented design allows the hinge to accommodate different door weights while helping to reduce oscillation and abrupt movements during opening and closing. This approach supports consistent operating characteristics across a wide range of oven platforms.

The hinge utilizes a high-strength extension spring supported by an adjustable spring cam mechanism.

This configuration allows different force characteristics to be achieved using a common spring architecture, providing flexibility for various oven door designs. The balancing system can be adapted according to door weight, center of gravity, and application requirements.

The Mod 94 short hinge is designed for oven door weights between 2.5 and 9 kg.

• Opening angle: 86°
• Operating temperature: up to 115°C
• Life cycle performance: ≥ 20,000 cycles
• Pivot to center of gravity distance: 230 mm

These characteristics make the hinge suitable for residential, commercial, and industrial cooking appliance applications.

The hinge is available in both standard and shortened body versions to accommodate different appliance platforms.

For lower door weight applications, the shortened configuration offers an alternative balancing geometry while supporting efficient use of installation space. Its compact structure allows integration into oven designs where packaging dimensions are an important consideration.

The Mod 94 short is designed for vertical installation inside the oven door and supports multiple mounting configurations, including:

• -Top mounting
• -Side mounting
• -Front mounting

These alternatives provide flexibility during appliance development and manufacturing processes.

The hinge body is manufactured from high-quality sheet metal and finished with Zn coating technology to support corrosion resistance in demanding appliance environments.

Its robust construction is suitable for applications exposed to repeated thermal and mechanical loading.

The door connection system combines a wedge-type mounting geometry with an ergonomic clip-on locking mechanism.

This design supports practical assembly and disassembly during production and service operations while remaining compatible with high-volume manufacturing requirements.

• -Low-noise operation
• -RoHS compliant
• -Developed in accordance with VDE finger protection (anti-crushing) requirements

Optional reinforced rivet support is available for applications requiring increased resistance to static and dynamic loads.

• -Built-in ovens
• -Freestanding ovens
• -Industrial kitchen equipment
• -Professional cooking appliances
