Hinge Design Help
Looking for help/ideas in designing a hinge for a product I am working on.
Criteria are:
* Low cost (looking to avoid roller bearings)
* 0/minimal radial slop(Axial slop is completely fine and even desirable)
* High friction is fine as long as it is movable by hand.
* Low duty, so wear is not much of a concern.
Material is undecided, either plastic or aluminum. Would prefer to stick to plastic, likely a glass filled something or. Is the best practice here just a cylinder in a hole, dimensioned correctly? Or is there a sort of slide/press in grooved wave bushing that could be used?
