The Winco GN 437 friction hinge has an RoHS-compliant, zinc die-cast body with either a black powder-coated, textured finish or a silver powder-coated, textured finish. The plastic friction cone is temperature resistant to 176°F, while the set screw and hexagon nut are steel, zinc plated, with a blue passivated finish. The set screw allows the mobility of the hinge to be changed and generates a constant braking torque adjustable across the entire rotating range. The hinge has virtually no radial play and zero play in the axial direction.
