Torque and Disk Dampers Q0400 - Q1060
What is...
Wixroyd Torque Dampers offer controlled opening and closing of lids, drawers, covers and much more. They provide a wide range of solutions for a variety of applications creating smooth movement and function.
Though unnoticed in many applications, Torque Dampers are a vital part of many products bringing quality, safety and durability. Torque Dampers provide quality movement, enhancing both touch and feel.
Torque Dampers utilise the movement of fluid forced from one chamber to another, via a rotor.
Dampening speed is dependent upon the viscosity of the fluid and the diameter of the fluid aperture.
Technical Specs
Torque calculation
To calculate the torque for your application, the following measurements are necessary:
t (torque) = w x 0.5 x h
h = length from pivot point to end of lid (cm)
w = weight of the lid (Kg)
Torque force stated per product (see individual product pages), is the maximum torque to which the specified part can be exposed before the dampening force yields and hence dampening is overcome.

Knowledgebase Questions
For our metal body versions, such as Q0400, we use nitrile based sealant. For our plastic dampers such as Q0460, the sealant used is silicone rubber.
