Southco launches EC Damping Hinge for Safe, Soft-Close Industrial Applications

The EC Damping Hinge delivers smooth, controlled closing for heavy panels, reducing injury and equipment damage. Its embedded torque engine prevents slamming while maintaining a compact design compatible with existing panel setups.

Southco introduces the EC Damping Hinge, a soft-close hinge engineered to enhance ergonomic safety in demanding industrial environments. Unlike typical soft-close hinges designed for lightweight applications, the EC Damping Hinge combines smooth, controlled closing with the strength to handle heavy panels and repeated use, reducing the risk of injury and equipment damage.

The embedded torque engine provides resistance precisely when needed, making panels easy to move while preventing slamming. Its compact design closely matches conventional surface-mount hinges, allowing engineers to integrate soft-close functionality without modifying existing panel designs.

Ideal for industrial machinery, control panels, and high-use equipment, the EC Damping Hinge delivers a safer, more comfortable user experience while improving operational quality.
