One aspect is a detent hinge device having a first cam component with at least one spline and an axial cam face, the first cam component having a root diameter and an outer diameter. A second cam component has at least one spline and an axial cam face, the second cam component having a root diameter and an outer diameter. Each of the first and second cam components are aligned on an axis, wherein the cam faces of the first inner and first outer cam components face each other. An axial spring acts on the first cam component forcing it against the second cam component. An axial retention element securing each of the first and second cam components and axial spring on the axis. A first mounting bracket has splines on an inner surface. The first mounting bracket contains the first cam component such that the splines of the first mounting bracket engage the splines of the first cam component thereby transferring torque from the first cam component to the first mounting bracket via the splines. A second mounting bracket has splines on an inner surface. The second mounting bracket contains the second cam component such that the splines of the second mounting bracket engage the splines of the second cam component thereby transferring torque from the second cam component to the second mounting bracket via the splines. The first and second cam components comprise the same shape.
