Soft Motion
| Sugatsune’s LapCon lid stays are ideal for a variety of cabinet applications, storage under bench seating, and information terminals. The lid stay arm holds the panel in place when in use, and will softly self-close when pushed shut. This is a perfect solution for quiet environments, and eliminates pinched fingers. |  |
Disk dampers are suitable for foodservice applications, such as those for self-serve bakery cases or for candy. If the flap is pushed down slightly, it will close naturally and slowly by itself, without the need to lower by hand. |  |
Free Stop Motion
Torque hinges can be adjusted and left at any angle, creating convenience for the user:

Torque hinges can be used in a variety of monitor applications to hold the display at a steady angle. Applications include everyday uses such as multiple-monitor arrays, for screens on industrial equipment, and with payment terminals. |  |
Lift Assist Motion
| Lift assist hardware options enable users to lift large or bulky lids with a fraction of the energy they would otherwise need. Especially useful for industrial equipment or appliances. |  |
Detent Motion
| Detent hinge hardware “clicks” between set positions at various angles, and holds panels open at the set position. User is confident that the panel is secure by the clicking motion. |  |
Unique Motion
| Sugatsune’s LIN-X (“links”) laterally-opening hardware was created to open doors in a shallow radius, without obstructing the space in front of the cabinet. Unique solution for kitchen islands, retail storage in narrow spaces, and industrial equipment access panels. |  |
