Ball Bearing Fire Rated Hinges

Eclipse ball bearing hinges are our most durable range of hinges second only to our thrust bearing range. A ball race casing is positioned between the hinge knuckles to reduce the amount of friction sustained during operation improving not only the hinge performance but its life span by reducing the wear between the knuckles.

Eclipse ball bearing hinges are available in an array of different finishes and specifications to suit your requirements. Over the years we have added specialist hinges to this range and offer the option of radius corner hinges for joinery specification and hinges incorporating 'dog bolts' for enhanced security. Our best selling range of ball bearing hinges are available in three different grades of stainless steel material SUS-201, SUS-304 and SUS-316, with our SUS-316 option being suited to adverse environmental conditions.
