Specialised OEM and ODM Technology

Multi-axis, complex trajectory technology

Paths of motion customised to customer needs
The link structure multi-axis mechanism allows for versatile movements. The movement path can be much more complex than with a single-axis structure.
Sugatsune Kogyo has been selling European cup hinges in the domestic Japanese market since 1976. By using our knowledge of multi-axis structures, we have created paths of movements that can be adapted around obstacles, installed in spaces with significant spatial constraints without losing functionality and other specific and detailed requests.

Soft-closing technology

Soft-closing technology, customized to customer needs
Using the resistance of viscuous bodies, this component technology reduces the opening and/or closing speed of flaps and lids. Based on our original damper component LAPCON, we have developed over 50 different types of products with soft closing technology. By doing OEM and ODM customizations to our existing product range, combined with our years of experience and expertise, we can deliver components with smooth movement that are optimized for customer use cases.

Free-stop technology

Free-stop technology, customized to customer needs
Using friction inside the movement axis, flaps and lids can be held in position, even after use release them. This technology has been built into many different hinges and lid stays. By doing OEM and ODM customisations to our existing product range, combined with our years of experience and expertise, we can deliver components with torque force and holding that are optimised for customer use cases.

Power-assist technology

Power-assist technology, customised to customer needs
By using the reaction force of springs, even heavy lids and flaps can feel light to open. This power-assist technology has been implemented into many different Sugatsune components. By doing OEM and ODM customisations to our existing product range, combined with our years of experience and expertise, we can deliver components with the power-assist force optimised for smooth and convenient operation of end users, customised to our customer’s needs.

Click motion technology

Click motion technology, customised to customer needs
Using depressions inside the components and placing balls which rotate around on the inside, when the rotation reaches a certain angle, the balls will fit into the depressions, allowing or a temporary holding motion. For use cases that require holding at several predefined angles, this is a very useful motion. It has been implemented into many different hinges. By doing OEM and ODM customisations to our existing product range, combined with our years of experience and expertise, we can deliver components with click motion optimised for our customer’s needs.
