Simotec Rotary Damper (One-Way Type)

Manufacturer: Shimonishi Giken Kogyo Co., Ltd
Product name: Rotary Damper (One-Way Type)
Features
- – It dampens the rotational force, slowing down the movement of lids and other objects, allowing for soft, smooth, and dignified movement even when you let go of the handle.
- – This is a type of damper that opens easily and closes slowly, generating torque in one direction.
- – Equipped with a built-in one-way mechanism, it has a slim, lightweight and compact design.
- – It is an infinite angle type that generates torque no matter how many times it rotates.
- – The torque in the free direction is extremely small at 0.1 N·m or less.
- -By incorporating a gear train, it can also handle relatively heavy lids.
Purpose of use
・Opening and closing parts of lids and covers, and operation parts
