CHR-M ceiling TV hinge for marine settings, 40" to 88" screens
CHR-M is the newest-generation series of ceiling TV hinges that Future Automation intends for marine settings: a motorised mechanism that swings screens between 40" and 88" down from the ceiling by as much as 100°.
At rest the television lies flat inside the ceiling and the marine locks secure the mechanism while it is shut. A ceiling panel can be fixed beneath the mechanism, so the finish of the surface around it carries on unbroken. Every CHR-M is delivered as a single unit prepared for installation, which limits mistakes and makes fitting more straightforward.
Key features
- Rotation reaching 100°, with a programmable maximum limit

- Limit switches that adjust themselves at the closed position
- Mechanical and electrical recovery supplied, so the system can be reached safely if the third-party control has a fault

- White RAL9910 painted finish, other finishes on request
Available sizes
Five sizes: CHR4-M for 50" at most (screen no larger than 1130 × 680 mm), CHR5-M for 58" (1330 × 800 mm), CHR6-M for 65" (1530 × 920 mm), CHR7-M for 79" (1730 × 1010 mm) and CHR8-M for 88" (1980 × 1110 mm), given as width × height for televisions no deeper than 70 mm. With deeper screens the maximum height drops by 30 mm and the depth allowed reaches 95 mm on the first three sizes and 130 mm on CHR7-M and CHR8-M.
Load capacity and ceiling panel
The declared maximum weight counts that of the added ceiling panel: 50 kg for CHR4-M and 40 kg for CHR5-M, with a panel of 10 kg at most; 90 kg for CHR6-M, 150 kg for CHR7-M and 120 kg for CHR8-M, with a panel of 30 kg at most. The mechanism weighs from roughly 105 kg, in the smallest size, to roughly 230 kg. The series also exists in a version with screen swivel.
