Why do cushioning hydraulic hinges quickly lose their cushioning effect? _Hinge knowledge

In recent times, numerous online users have been reaching out to our factory, seeking consultation on our hydraulic hinges. During these conversations, we discovered that many customers have been expressing concerns about the loss of cushioning effect in cushioning hydraulic hinges. They have been enquiring about the performance of the hinges in our factory. This is a problem that many people encounter frequently. Some may have invested a considerable amount of money into purchasing expensive hinges, only to find that the damping effect is no better, and sometimes even worse, than that of ordinary hinges.

Hinges play a crucial role in every piece of furniture, as they are opened and closed multiple times a day. Consequently, the quality of a hinge directly impacts the quality of the furniture. A hydraulic hinge that closes the door automatically and silently creates a harmonious and warm atmosphere for the owner, while also adding a touch of sophistication to the furniture and kitchen cabinets. With an affordable price tag, hydraulic hinges have become widely popular. However, this popularity has led to an influx of manufacturers, intensifying the competition. In order to gain an edge in the market, many manufacturers resort to cutting corners and using subpar materials, resulting in quality issues. Some manufacturers even neglect quality inspections before selling their hydraulic hinges, deceiving customers and leaving them disappointed. These issues arise primarily due to oil leakage in the seal ring of the hydraulic cylinder, leading to cylinder failure.

Despite these challenges, the quality of hydraulic hinges has improved significantly over the years, thanks to continuous evolution and advancements (excluding those produced by manufacturers who cut corners). Modern hydraulic hinges offer superior functionality and durability compared to their predecessors. It is important to choose a reputable manufacturer for hydraulic hinges to ensure an elevated level of quality and craftsmanship in your furniture.

But how can you choose the right hydraulic hinge to avoid disappointment? A buffer hydraulic hinge utilizes the buffering properties of liquid to provide an optimal cushioning effect. It consists of a piston rod, housing, and piston with through holes and holes. When the piston rod moves the piston, the liquid flows from one side to the other through the through holes, effectively providing a buffering function. The buffer hydraulic hinge has gained popularity due to its humane, soft, and silent operation, as well as its safety features that minimize the risk of finger pinching.

With the increasing number of users, the market is flooded with numerous manufacturers, resulting in the emergence of subpar products. Many consumers complain that the hydraulic function of these hinges deteriorates quickly after a short period of use. Some even claim that buffer hydraulic hinges are no different from ordinary hinges within a few months, despite being several times more expensive. This situation is reminiscent of the alloy hinges from a few years ago. The low-quality alloy hinges would break when screws were tightened, causing loyal consumers to switch to iron hinges, causing the market for alloy hinges to shrink. Therefore, I would like to urge buffer hydraulic hinge manufacturers not to sacrifice consumer satisfaction for short-term profits. In an era of information asymmetry, where consumers struggle to differentiate between good and bad quality, manufacturers must take responsibility for the quality of their products, resulting in a win-win situation for both the market and profitability.

The quality of hydraulic hinges depends on the effectiveness of the piston seal, making it difficult for consumers to assess in a short period of time. To choose a high-quality buffer hydraulic hinge, consider the following factors:

1. Appearance: Manufacturers with mature technology prioritize the aesthetics of their products. The lines and surfaces are well-crafted, with minimal scratches and no deep digs. These are the technical advantages of reputable manufacturers.

2. Consistent door closing speed: Carefully observe whether the buffer hydraulic hinge experiences any sticking or strange sounds and if there is a significant difference in closing speed. This difference may indicate a discrepancy in the hydraulic cylinder's performance.

3. Anti-rust properties: The anti-rust ability can be determined through a salt spray test, which evaluates the occurrence of rust after 48 hours. A high-quality buffer hydraulic hinge should exhibit minimal rusting.

However, be cautious of misleading claims, such as boasting about passing 200,000 opening and closing tests or 48 hours of salt spray testing. Many profit-driven manufacturers release their products to the market without conducting proper testing, leading to disappointed consumers who find that their hinges lack the cushioning function after just a few uses. Considering the current technical capabilities in China, it is unrealistic to achieve 100,000 opening and closing fatigue tests. However, hinges produced by domestic manufacturers can genuinely pass the fatigue test of 30,000 opening and closing cycles.

One additional tip: When you receive the hydraulic hinge, try forcefully accelerating the closing speed or forcefully closing the door instead of allowing it to close on its own. If the hinge lacks quality, it will reveal itself as the hydraulic cylinder leaks oil or, in severe cases, explodes. If you encounter such a situation, it is best to bid farewell to that particular buffer hydraulic hinge.
