Southco's EC Damping Hinge uses an embedded torque engine to prevent panels from slamming shut.
Dec. 10, 2025

Southco's EC Damping Hinge is a soft-close hinge for industrial panels and lids. It uses an embedded torque engine that applies resistance only during the final portion of movement, making panels easy to operate while preventing sudden closure. The hinge provides controlled, smooth movement to reduce the risk of injury or equipment damage when heavy doors, lids, or access panels slam shut.

Its profile is similar to certain free-swinging surface-mount hinges, allowing integration without major design changes.

Features:

  • Soft-close operation for industrial panels
  • Embedded torque engine for targeted resistance
  • Helps reduce injury risk from slamming panels
  • Supports heavy loads
  • Similar profile to free-swinging surface-mount hinges
  • Provides smooth, controlled panel movement
