For decades, metal has been the standard material in use for continuous hinges – particularly when joining metal to metal. When industry switched from metal to lighter composite technology, hinging systems did not keep pace – until now. Carbinge™ is the new standard in piano hinges with numerous advantages. Here are a few critical reasons why Carbinge™ hinges are a superior choice for today's composite structures: » Read entire article
We performed this test with a .080" steel pin using a 2" wide (effective) piece of Carbinge™. We were pleasantly surprised to find a limit load of » View test results
Use of the Zippin™ process with Carbinge™ and Carbinge Keepers™ to attach removable parts results in a virtually perfect and invisible junction at the seams of parts to be joined. See how it's done: » Read full "how-to" article
Using Carbinge™ and Carbinge Keepers™ to attach wingtips with hinges (similar to the process with the cowling) is a great way to save weight, improve appearance, and increase strength. » Read full "how-to" article

When installed and used correctly, Carbinge™ is rated to support 3,000# per one-foot length of the hinge material when using a steel pin. When using other non-metallic pin materials or pins of lower diameter, the rating is reduced to 1,500# per foot.
Carbinge Keepers™ are guaranteed not to back out (unscrew while in use) and the solder joint is guaranteed not to fail. » View our guarantee
