Product description
CP Wall-mounted hinge CP 180, outlet horizontal
Feature → Business Impact → Application: The CP 6218.740 wall-mounted hinge provides a robust mounting solution that enables a full 180° swivel, improving access to internal components in tight enclosures and reducing maintenance time during service cycles. This translates to measurable efficiency gains, lower downtime, and easier cable routing around the arm support. Application: Suitable for vertical-surface installations on CP 180 enclosures, especially where frequent arm movement is required for inspection or servicing, such as control panels and data cabinets. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Cast steel construction for the wall-mounted hinge delivers durability under industrial conditions while maintaining precise hinge alignment; this minimizes misalignment-related wear and extends service life. Application: Ideal for harsh environments where repeated swivels are expected, with color-coded components helping maintain consistent visual references for technicians. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The included concertina section and seals enhance environmental protection at the hinge interface, supporting compliance with enclosure integrity expectations and reducing ingress risk. Application: Useful in environments with dust or limited access where seal integrity is critical. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Rotation range and restricting screws enable controlled travel and simplified installation configuration, enabling fast commissioning and repeatable performance across multiple installations. Application: Particularly valuable for multi-site deployments or when standardizing hinge setups across a product family. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The CP 6218.740’s supply package (seals, screws for rotation restriction, adjusting screws, self-tapping screws) reduces extra sourcing steps, lowering total cost of ownership and accelerating procurement cycles. Application: Streamlines project timelines and minimizes vendor coordination for enclosure hardware. Feature → Business Impact → Application: PCF cradle-to-gate profile (Cat B) supports sustainability reporting and lifecycle assessment, helping teams meet internal and external carbon footprint goals. Application: Demonstrates responsible sourcing and aligns with corporate environmental standards. Overall, the solution supports straightforward installation, reliable performance, and lifecycle convenience for CP enclosure ecosystems.
