Custom 5 - 50Kgf cm Plastic Hydraulic Damper for Refrigerator Door

Product Introduction

Key Features

Customizable Torque Range

• The damper offers a wide torque range from 5 to 50Kgf cm, which can be adjusted to suit different refrigerator door weights and sizes. Lighter refrigerator doors may require a lower torque setting, closer to 5Kgf cm, for a smooth and effortless close. On the other hand, larger and heavier refrigerator doors, such as those on commercial or high-capacity models, can be set to a higher torque within the range, up to 50Kgf cm, ensuring a secure and controlled closure. This flexibility in torque adjustment allows for optimal performance and compatibility with a variety of refrigerator designs.
• The ability to customize the torque also helps in protecting the refrigerator door and its hinges. By preventing excessive force during closing, it minimizes the risk of damage, such as cracks or loosening of the hinges, and extends the lifespan of the door assembly.

Plastic Construction

• The use of plastic in the construction of this hydraulic damper offers several benefits. Firstly, plastic is lightweight, which helps to reduce the overall weight of the refrigerator door and its associated components. This is especially important in modern refrigerators where energy efficiency and ease of use are key considerations. Secondly, plastic is highly resistant to corrosion and rust, making it suitable for the often humid and chemically active environment inside a refrigerator. It also provides good insulation properties, which can contribute to better temperature retention within the refrigerator.
• Despite being lightweight, the plastic used is of high strength and durability. It is engineered to withstand the stresses and strains associated with the specified torque range and repeated opening and closing of the refrigerator door. The smooth surface of the plastic components also helps to reduce friction and wear, further enhancing the damper's longevity.

Hydraulic Damping Mechanism

• The hydraulic damping system is the heart of this refrigerator door damper. It utilizes a fluid-filled chamber and a piston mechanism to create a controlled resistance. As the refrigerator door is opened or closed, the hydraulic fluid is displaced in a regulated manner, gradually slowing down the speed of the door's movement. This results in a soft and quiet closing action, eliminating the noisy slam that is common with traditional refrigerator doors. The hydraulic damping also provides a smooth and consistent feel throughout the closing process, enhancing the user experience.
• The damping mechanism is designed to work in both directions, allowing for a seamless acceleration and deceleration of the door's rotation. This bidirectional functionality is crucial for maintaining the balance and stability of the refrigerator door during operation.

Smooth and Quiet Operation

• The combination of the customizable torque range, plastic construction, and hydraulic damping mechanism results in an exceptionally smooth and quiet operation of the refrigerator door. The damper's design minimizes vibrations and noise levels, creating a more pleasant and less disruptive environment, especially in kitchens or living areas where the refrigerator is located. The smooth operation also reduces the stress and wear on the door and its hinges, contributing to a longer overall lifespan of the refrigerator.

Application Scenarios

• Ideal for use in both residential and commercial refrigerators. In residential settings, it provides a more comfortable and quiet user experience. In commercial refrigerators, such as those in grocery stores, restaurants, or cafeterias, the durable construction and adjustable performance make it capable of handling heavy usage and frequent opening and closing.
• Suitable for all types of refrigerator doors, including side-by-side, top-freezer, bottom-freezer, and French door models.

Installation and Maintenance

• Installation: The installation process is straightforward. The damper is attached to the refrigerator door and body using simple screws or clips, depending on the specific model. Clear installation instructions are provided to guide users through the process.
• Maintenance: Regular inspection of the damper for any signs of wear, such as leakage of hydraulic fluid or loose parts, is recommended. If any issues are detected, the damper can be easily replaced. Cleaning the damper with a mild detergent and a soft cloth is sufficient to keep it in good working condition.
