Torque range extended with the introduction of the HG-JHM20 mortice hinge with rotary torque damper

Sugatsune's soft-closing lid mechanisms contribute to safety as they prevent dropped lids from trapping fingers, the silent closing also adds value and style. The HG-JHM combines a rotary torque damper with a mortice hinge in one easy to install unit. The torque range accommodated by the HG-JHM16 is 20-50 kilograms of force per centimetre (Kgf/cm) and has recently been greatly extended by the addition of the HG-JHM20 which offers up to 80kgf/cm. When fitted to a lid unit it will prevent the lid from slamming shut and adds the luxury of silent closing. It has long been popular with yacht builders finding its way into vanity units in staterooms and owners cabins, chart tables, counter tops and cooking ranges. It is a very discreet unit and can be supplied with a black or white cover plate. Here it can be seen in a vanity and unit and in a chart table.
