Sugatsune, a global manufacturer of high-performance hardware components, has released a new range of industrial products focused on improving mechanical control, user safety, and structural stability across a variety of equipment and enclosure types. The newly introduced components are designed to support industries requiring precise lid control, secure access, and durable mounting solutions in environments such as manufacturing, food processing, automation, and infrastructure.
At the center of the new product lineup is Motion Design Technology (MDT), Sugatsune’s proprietary engineering approach for controlled mechanical movement. MDT enables smoother operation, position control, and reduced manual effort in opening and closing panels, lids, or covers.
The CJH Handle has been specifically designed for use on industrial control boxes and enclosures. Offering a blend of mechanical durability and visual clarity, this handle is ideal for environments where operational safety is key. It comes with a long cap available in various colors—grey, yellow, black, orange, red, and blue—allowing for easy identification of functions or hazards. Additionally, the handle supports flexible installation, with the option of front or back mounting using screws.
Next in line are the ADPS and ADP Stainless Steel Leveling Glides, which enhance the stability of machines and equipment placed on uneven surfaces. Manufactured from high-quality 304 or 316 stainless steel, these glides offer strong resistance to corrosion and can handle significant loads. Installation is simplified with an integrated hex nut that makes height adjustment more convenient and precise.
The HG-S Swivel Torque Hinge is another innovation, crafted for control panels and industrial machinery. This hinge allows for free-stop functionality at any angle, making it highly adaptable to a range of operational needs. A central hole has been incorporated into the hinge for easy cable routing. Built to withstand over 20,000 open and close cycles, it offers consistent performance for heavy-duty or frequently accessed doors.
For upward-opening lids, the HG-PA202 Lift Assist Hinge delivers a combination of functionality and aesthetic appeal. It features external mounting, integrated spring tension for effortless lifting, and a built-in damper for smooth, soft-closing action. The torque is adjustable, providing tailored support based on application requirements. Its sleek, concealed design is particularly beneficial in food-processing or hygiene-critical environments.
Sugatsune has further expanded its motion control product line, offering a range of torque hinge options. These include models with built-in cable pass-through, which are ideal for enclosures where wire routing is essential. Additionally, spring- and damper-integrated hinges provide smooth assisted motion, improving both user experience and safety.
Also included in the expanded lineup are detachable and pivot hinges, perfect for modular setups where easy panel removal or repositioning is needed. These designs offer a practical solution for engineers building adaptable systems. The availability of two-axis spring-assisted hinges adds further flexibility, enabling movement in multiple directions and enhancing ergonomic access.
For applications requiring minimal visual interruption, concealed hinges are now part of the catalog. These hinges maintain a clean external appearance while still delivering reliable mechanical performance. Ideal for settings that prioritize aesthetics alongside functionality, they are an excellent choice for premium enclosures and control panels.
A strong focus has also been placed on durability, with several corrosion-resistant hinge models introduced for outdoor and heavy industrial use. These variants ensure long-term performance even in harsh environments, making them suitable for marine, chemical, or outdoor installations where exposure to elements is a concern.
Lastly, the MC-MS45 Sealed Magnetic Catch rounds out the highlights. This compact latch employs a powerful neodymium magnet encased in silicone rubber, reducing noise and mechanical wear. Available in two color options, it pairs with multiple counter plate designs and is effective in temperatures up to 80°C. However, it is not suited for high-humidity or corrosive environments, making it best for general-purpose applications.
Founded in Tokyo, Sugatsune specializes in precision hardware components for industrial and commercial use. With a focus on motion control, access solutions, and material durability, the company supports a wide range of sectors including automation, medical, food processing, and machinery design.
