Carbon Kevlar Hinges
Design
Developed by Talon Technology in Sydney Australia, the all composite Carbon Hinge is a true innovation in hinge design.
Using materials more often found in stealth aircraft and bulletproof jackets, the Carbon Hinge is extremely thin, light, and durable.
Applications
The Carbon Hinge is perfect for a variety of applications due to it's exceptional corrosion resistance, ability to bond to surfaces, and light weight construction.
Hinges can be used in marine and boat construction, consumer electronics, integrated into carbon fibre shells, and countless other applications.
Technical details
Hinges can be made in almost any variety of materials and thickness. Flex units can be doubled or even tripled if additional strength is required.
All our hinges have been tested to over 1,000,000 cycles at 340 cycles per minute through an 80 degree arc, and can withstand a 150kg static load in a 50mm long, 25mm wide configuration.
Ultra Thin Carbon Kevlar Hinge
Up until now, the worlds thinnest hinge has been our 1.6mm (closed thickness) Carbon Kevlar hinge, with our new Ultra Thin hinge we have halved that thickness to 0.8mm for only a 20% reduction in static load strength.
Designed specifically for electronic devices where weight and space are at a premium, the hinge is made from the extraordinary Trextreme spread tow carbon prepreg in combination with a more tightly woven lighter Kevlar.
A 50mm long hinge can hold a 120kg static load, can arc thru 360 degrees and is tested to 1 million cycles.
Being so thin the hinge can only be bonded in place and has a peel ply surface to provide the best possible adhesion.
Carbonfiber I-Beam

The CMP Carbonfiber Prepreg I-beams are exeptionally strong in bending and in shear loads.
The use of a lightweight foam in the web allows weight optimization of the web laminate. Without any sacrifices on torsional stiffness.
The uni-directional carbonfiber on top and bottom flanges, combined with the ±45° fibers in the web, provides excellent shear properties.
