If you want to make monitors Free Stop, available torque hinges will be different depending on weight and angle.
In this tool, you can find whether selected monitors/hinges are acceptable or not by inputting values about them.

STEP1
Inputting values of monitor

Inputting values of monitor 1

Monitor weight m: kg

From rotational center to center of gravity G^*

Center of gravity X: mm

Vertical distance Y: mm

Distance L: ----; mm

Angle α: ----; °

What is the center of gravity?

From end of monitor(B)^*

Center of gravity X1: mm

Vertical distance Y1: mm

Distance L1: ----; mm

Angle β1: ----; °

It is presumed that angle adjustment will be handled at end of monitor.

Inputting values of monitor 2

Adjustment angle

θa （up to +40°）: °

θb （up to -30°）: °

Mmax^*: ----; N・m

M （0°）: --; N・m

Ma （--°）: --; N・m

Mb （--°）: --; N・m

Max. moment in all angle including non- adjustable angle range
gravity acceleration is calculated from g=9.80665 m/s²

Max. moment in adjustable angle range
( Larger numbers between Ma/Mb )

Mj: --; N・m

Enter information of your hinges

TORQUE HINGES's torque

T: N・m

Negative torque allowance^*: %

Please enter minus torque allowance range.
Most of Sugatsune's hinge/stays are -20%

Min. torque

Tmin: --; N・m
