Combination mechanisms: The efficient solution for organisation in the office and archive
The combination mechanism, often referred to as a D-ring mechanism, is an indispensable component of any professional filing system. Unlike simple round ring mechanisms, the special D-shape ensures that the inserted sheets lie exactly straight on top of one another on one side. This not only protects the perforations in your documents, but also allows the use of dividers without them protruding beyond the edge of the ring binder.
2-ring or 4-ring: Which mechanism suits your project?
Depending on the size of your document collection, we offer various configurations:
- 2-ring combination mechanism: The ideal choice for slim folders, small projects or notebooks. It is efficient to use and perfectly suited to standard perforations.
- 4-ring combination mechanism: This variant offers maximum stability and capacity. It is particularly recommended for larger document collections, catalogues or price lists, as the weight of the paper is distributed more evenly across the rings.
- Variable design: Our mechanisms are characterised by high-quality workmanship and can be flexibly integrated into various filing systems and formats.
Advantages of the D-mechanism at a glance
Thanks to their intuitive operation, combination mechanisms allow for quick insertion and removal of sheets. Thanks to their robust construction, they withstand regular use for years. As the documents lie flat against the straight side of the mechanism, valuable shelf space is also saved, as the contents of the folder are held together more compactly.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why is it called a ‘combination mechanism’?
The name stems from the fact that it combines the advantages of the ring mechanism (easy turning of pages) with those of the lever arch mechanism (straight stacking).
How is the mechanism attached to the folder?
It is usually attached by riveting it to the spine or the back cover of the folder. You will also find suitable rivets and tools for assembly in our range.
What is the maximum capacity?
We stock combination mechanisms in various capacities. The capacity depends on the diameter of the D-rings and can accommodate paper stacks ranging from a few millimetres to several centimetres.
