Abstract
A portable information handling system hinge rotates in an operational range with an operational torque and in an overbend range with an overbend torque of at least twice the operational torque. A rotational orientation sensor detects rotation past the operational range into the overbend range and commands an alarm to present an alert, such as an audible or visual alarm. The hinge transitions from torque generated by a first set of cams in the operational range to torque generated by a second set of cams in the overbend range with a transition range that ramps the torque up to define rotation stop felt by an end user rotating the information handling system housing.
