Tilt&Turn hinge sides for all frame materials

15.04.2024

The Roto NX Tilt&Turn hardware system for timber and PVC windows was launched in 2018. The new rebate corner hinge for aluminium profiles with a 16 mm Euro-groove now allows the hardware system to be used with all frame materials.

All hinge sides are presented on the next three pages: four fully concealed ones and four surface-mounted ones.

Identical components for multiple applications

Manufacturers who work with more than one frame material benefit from a number of identical components in the Roto NX modular hardware system. Systematically reducing the number of different items is the driving force in the product development of all hinge sides. This reduces the cost and complexity of storage, increases the processing reliability and ensures the most economical window production.

The disconnection of the faceplate and gearbox or lock casing in the EasyMix system with screw-free installation clearly embodies this development philosophy. All hinge sides are rapid to process and easy to adjust.

The advantages in detail

The same sash hardware is used with all frame materials, and the same E, P and V locking cams from Roto. Night ventilation which is identical for all frame materials is integrated into all surface-mounted hinge sides. During the normal operating sequence on a Tilt&Turn window, the window handle runs through the night ventilation position automatically at a handle position of 135°, without this position having to be activated or released separately.

Always burglar inhibiting, regardless of format and sash weight

Whether it’s large window formats or high sash weights – with Roto NX, manufacturers can produce in all frame materials in accordance with RC 2 or RC 3 and on automated assembly lines. The design of the four surface-mounted hinge sides stays the same. There is a selection of attractive surfaces and colours for all visible components.

Tilting before turning and secured tilt ventilation

Roto NX – TiltFirst protects people against risks that could result from a window being opened wide. The intelligent “tilt before turn” protective mechanism blocks complete opening of the window when the window handle is locked. At the same time, the tilted sash is arrested in the horizontal handle position. This function can be used with all frame materials and is also easy to retrofit at any time. You can sleep soundly even when your windows on the ground floor are tilted: a window equipped with Roto NX TiltSafe gives you the security you need. This is because this window offers RC 2 burglary inhibition, even when the sash is tilted. This function is possible with all frame materials.

Anything goes

Frame material, format, weight, function, various resistance classes for burglary inhibition: as a window manufacturer, the Roto NX modular hardware system offers you almost limitless possibilities for windows and balcony doors – including for the automated stage of your production process. This is because Roto NX is suitable for every stage: manual, semi-automated and fully automated window production.

The V locking cam – a favourite of every window manufacturer

  • It enables simple installation as it absorbs more rebate-clearance tolerances without the need for adjustment.
  • Its robust design ensures consistent gasket compression and therefore permanently tightly sealed windows.
  • It reliably makes burglary attempts more difficult, as the V locking cam engages behind the security striker across a large area.
  • A marking helps to quickly identify the position of the gasket compression.
  • The gasket compression is adjusted using a standard hex key.
  • The position of the marking on the V locking cam helps to quickly identify the level of gasket compression that has been achieved.
  • The V locking cam is also height adjustable: +1.5 mm and -0.8 mm.

Hinge sides at a glance

Concealed hinge sides

Surface-mounted hinge sides

Tilt&Turn hinge sides in detail

Concealed hinge sides

No hinges visible from the outside, no cover caps – nothing spoils the appearance of the window. Only the window handle is visible.
The maximum load for all three frame materials is a sash weight of 150 kg each.

Concealed hinge side Royal for timber windows

Its optimal turn-out curve makes this concealed hinge side ideal for renovating old buildings in particular. This is because they are often characterised by the window sash and reveal being very close together. The maximum load of the hinge side is 80 kg.

Surface-mounted hinge side Power Hinge for timber windows with integrated night ventilation

The hinge side was developed as heavy-duty hardware for Turn-Only and Tilt&Turn windows made from timber and for timber windows with an aluminium shell. The sash weight is a maximum of 200 kg for Tilt&Turn windows and up to 300 kg for Turn-Only windows. The sash tilt depth is limited to 80 mm. From a sash weight of 200 kg and above, a central hinge is also fitted.

Surface-mounted hinge side P for PVC windows with integrated night ventilation


The Roto NX stay bearing and pivot rest for PVC windows can support a sash weight of up to 130 kg, even in the standard version. The stay bearing is mounted flush with the sash overlap. This means that the Tilt&Turn window can be combined with other window types, such as fanlights.

Concealed screws on the stay bearing and the individual choice of colours for cover caps and surfaces ensure an attractive appearance.

Surface-mounted hinge side T for timber windows with integrated night ventilation

The hinge side is designed for sash weights of up to 150 kg as standard. It can therefore reliably support even large-format windows of up to 2800 mm in height and high glass weights. The hinge side is able to demonstrate its full capability in the renovation of old buildings, as well as in other applications, because it can even be used in special formats such as pitched windows and arched windows.

Surface-mounted hinge side A16 for aluminium windows with a 16 mm hardware groove and integrated night ventilation

With the Roto NX modular system, even aluminium windows with a sash weight of up to 150 kg can be processed economically and flexibly. Many of the same hardware components are used as for hinge side P for PVC profiles, reducing the time and effort involved in storage and simplifying processing. Hinge side A16 is also available for round windows and pitched windows, as well as balcony
doors with a threshold.

An integrated bearing bush, among other features, makes the new rebate corner hinge durable. It prevents friction, and therefore wear, between the hinge roller and pivot bolt of the pivot rest.
