Scanner Hinge / Support Arm — The scanner hinge carries the ADF and scanner cover and holds it aligned through the travel. Replace it when the housing cracks or the cover no longer closes flat — a cracked hinge skews every scan.
This scanner hinge (document feeder support arm) supports the scanner cover and ADF unit. It fixes broken hinges and cover closure issues.
For Aurora AD220MNW Scanner Hinge / Support Arm fits Aurora AD220MNW, AD229MWC, AD229MA, AD229MNA and 3 more listed below. Not suitable for: Housings already distorted by a previous breakage — check the mounting bosses before ordering only the hinge. Match the part number to your machine before ordering.

If your machine is not listed, send us the model and a photo of the original part — parts that look alike within the same family are frequently not interchangeable.
| Symptom | Mechanism |
|---|---|
| Cover will not stay open or drops shut | Detent or pivot is worn |
| Scanned pages come out skewed | Hinge no longer holds the cover parallel |
| Visible crack near the pivot boss | Fatigue failure — it will break completely soon |
| ADF feeds at an angle | Cover alignment has shifted |
Support the cover before releasing the hinge — it is spring-loaded on most models and will snap shut. Transfer the spring and any shim washers to the new part in the same order.
Q: Is the spring included?
A: The hinge body is supplied; springs and shims are usually reused. Tell us if you need them and we will quote them together.
Q: What is the MOQ?
A: 200 pcs per part number.
Q: Do you offer a reinforced version?
A: For high-failure models, yes — ask which part numbers have a reinforced revision in stock.

Hinges fail most often on machines where the cover is opened many times a day, and on models where the ADF is heavy relative to the hinge size. If yours has already cracked once, fit a reinforced revision if one exists rather than an identical replacement.
Adhesive repair occasionally holds on a hairline crack, but the pivot boss carries the whole cover load. Once it cracks, a bonded joint rarely survives a few thousand open-and-close cycles.
