SOSS Hinge 1

[Cellmass]

Hello All,
I am racking my brain here trying to find a SOSS hinge that is already modeled up with the necessary Kenimatics in place to layout my Galley units. I don't have time to sit down and model one up. Does anyone out there have a fully working assembly for a SOSS hinge (Series 203 or 204)?

Thx


P.S.
I have already tried 3d content and McMaster.

I don't know of any. If you contact the manufacturer, sometimes they will send you a model.

Try

http://www.southco.com

- maybe not exactly what you need but I seem to recall that they have something close.

Didn't see anything on the Southco site.

Have you tried contacting

directly?

Judging from the drawings supplied at

http://www.hinge.net/product/cad/

you could have modelled a simple version in the time spent looking for an existing one.

I could have modeled it pretty quick. Setting up the Kenimatics takes a bit longer.
I would do it but my boss is big on not wasting time with allot of models. Thats why I turned to this site.

Soss told me they do there designs in 2d. I don't buy that though.

I have modeled Soss series 218.
Not perfect, but it works as it should.
Perhaps yuo could scale it to your size?

 

[Cellmass]

Old school,
Thank you very much for that. But I can't open it due to it being created in 2008. I am on 2007. Can you possible save that out as a 2007 asssembly?

You can't save a new version to an old version, at least not directly.

Oldschool,
That assembly didn't have the parts download with it?

 

[Cellmass]

Your right. I did forget that.
But you can STEP it out and use Feature works. It will require you add the constraints back in though.

I prefer iges, but yes, step works as well.

Parasolid is best.

Oldschool,
Can you please upload the hinge parts and assy in STEP or IGES format?

Thx

 

[oldschool]

Cellmass,
Sorry for the late reply.
I have uploaded the files (3) as .igs, hope it helps.

 

[oldschool]

Looks like I can upload only one at a time.........

 

[oldschool]

Last one......

 

[CorBlimeyLimey]

oldschool,
For future reference, the files could have been zipped first.

... and you only needed to upload the assembly IGES; the parts are automatically included.
