360\u00b0 swivel torque hinges<\/strong> are hinges that rotate 360\u00b0 around their axis while holding position at any desired angle through an internal torque mechanism \u2014 the \"free stop\" feature that distinguishes torque hinges from standard rotation joints. Mounted from a single surface (no two-leaf assembly required), they are the standard solution for rotating displays, tablet stands, kiosk panels, camera mounts, and machine tool control panels. HSP manufactures 18+ swivel torque hinge models with torque ratings from 0.1 N\u00b7m to 15 N\u00b7m, in both adjustable and factory-calibrated configurations, with central cable-routing holes available on selected models.<\/p>\r\n

For OEM design engineers integrating rotating screens, cameras, or panels into self-service terminals, medical equipment, surveillance systems, and broadcasting equipment, swivel torque hinge selection comes down to four factors: required holding torque, mounting space envelope, cable routing requirements, and rotation behavior (continuous 360\u00b0 vs limited angle). Drawing on 10+ years of supplying precision torque hinge solutions<\/a> to OEM customers across display, kiosk, surveillance, and industrial equipment sectors, our engineering team matches torque rating, mounting geometry, and cable-routing specification to the application \u2014 including custom configurations for OEM production.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

What Is a Swivel Hinge?<\/h2>\r\n

A swivel hinge is a type of hinge that can rotate 360\u00b0 around its axis. Unlike leaf-style hinges that pivot between two attached panels, swivel hinges have a single rotating axis and are mounted to one surface \u2014 making them ideal for applications where a screen, camera, or panel must rotate freely on a stand, bracket, or chassis.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

What Is a Swivel Torque Hinge?<\/h2>\r\n

A swivel torque hinge adds an internal friction (torque) mechanism to the swivel hinge \u2014 allowing the hinge to hold its position at any angle along the rotation, rather than rotating freely. This \"free stop\" behavior is essential for rotating displays, adjustable monitor arms, surveillance cameras, and machine tool control panels, where the user expects the panel to stay where it was last placed without external locks or detents.<\/p>\r\n

Swivel torque hinges are commonly specified in two configurations: fixed torque<\/strong> (factory-calibrated to a specific holding value) and adjustable torque<\/strong> (tunable via a set screw or adjustment nut after installation). Many models also feature a central cable-routing hole<\/strong>, allowing display cables, signal wires, or power leads to pass through the rotation axis without binding during motion.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
