Hinge/Bearing Assembly Description

• the hinge plate - 564# cast weight
• the bearing plate - 450# cast weight

These two components (produced with 1040 steel) are machined for pin bores, bearing and hinge surfaces, grease fittings, and mounting holes.

• The major performance concerns for the assembly are long-term structural durability and unrestricted articulation. The engineering design requires the elimination of stress concentrations and the precise definition of component geometry to provide the required degree of articulation between the two components.

• The finished components are coated with epoxy for appearance and corrosion protection
