Sugatsune Aileron lift-assist lid stay is a top-opening lid support that provides lift assist, free-stop, and soft-close functions in one integrated system. This stay creates smooth door movement, so an installer gets controlled operation on work surfaces, tables, or lids without sudden drops. The product is specially designed for use with the Olympia concealed hinge 360-D26-19, which means the hinge and stay work together as a coordinated lift system rather than as separate components. Medium torque performance rated from 35.4 to 53.1 lb supports appropriately matched doors within that range, so the door can open with lighter effort and still stay supported through the motion. The stay is part of Sugatsune Americas Aileron System, which combines a concealed hinge and lid stay, giving a compact, integrated solution that keeps cabinet interiors clean and functional.
This top-opening stay requires minimal 3 ft by 7 ft space for installation, which helps with planning clearances around the cabinet so the door can swing and operate properly. Board thickness for the connected door ranges from a minimum of 9/16 in (15 mm) to a maximum of 7/8 in (22 mm), giving clear panel construction limits that guide material selection. The system is designed as an integrated lift-assist, free-stop, and soft closing solution, so once positioned within these parameters it handles opening, holding, and closing without separate devices. As a lid support within the Lift Systems, Lid Supports and Stays class, it fits naturally into upper work surfaces or top-access cabinets where upward-opening movement is required for access.
This lid support belongs to the Work Surface & Tables and Lift Systems, Lid Supports and Stays categories, so it is suited to upward-opening doors on cabinets, workstations, or table elements that need controlled lift. The medium torque range of 35.4 to 53.1 lb means it is intended for doors within that force window, so the lift-assist function can make opening feel lighter while still managing the weight. As a top opening stay, it supports doors that pivot upward, which is common in overhead or vertical access compartments where hands-free holding at angle is valuable. The integrated design with Sugatsunes Olympia concealed hinge 360-D26-19 creates a coordinated mechanism, so the hinge supplies pivot motion while the stay manages balance, allowing tidy internal layouts without exposed external hardware. Within this setup, the freestop behavior between about 30 degrees and full opening lets the user position the door at a convenient angle and keep it there, which is useful when access is needed without fully opening the door in tight spaces.
The Aileron System creates continuous door movements with adjustable closing speed and freestop functions, so every open and close cycle follows a predictable pattern that can be tuned at install. Lift assist and soft-close are independently adjustable, which means the opening effort and the closing damping can be set separately, helping match performance as conditions change from one installation to the next. The soft-close function operating from 0 degrees to 30 degrees provides gentle final motion into the cabinet, which reduces noise and impact on the structure over repeated use. The freestop function enabling doors to hold in position from 30 degrees to maximum allows intermediate stopping points, so users get stable access without supporting the door by hand. Smooth door movement described for this stay means the transition between lift assist, holding, and soft down feels continuous, supporting a professional result when fitting high-use cabinets or work surfaces. The integrated design combining a concealed hinge and lid stay keeps the mechanism unified, simplifying alignment and helping achieve consistent motion characteristics across multiple doors in a project.
The Sugatsune Aileron lift-assist lid stay is for top-opening doors, so it supports lids or cabinet fronts that pivot upward and need controlled lift, holding, and soft closing.
The medium torque rating of 35.4 to 53.1 lb means the stay is intended for doors in that load range, so lift assist can lighten opening while the door remains properly supported.
This ARN-2-M-S lid stay is specified for board thickness from 9/16 in (15 mm) to 7/8 in (22 mm), guiding panel selection so the hardware seats and functions as designed.
The free-stop function holds the door from 30 degrees to maximum opening, so users can leave the door at convenient angles without drift when accessing the cabinet.
The stay is specially designed for use with the Olympia concealed hinge 360-D26-19, so the hinge provides the pivot while the stay manages lift, holding, and soft closing.
The ARN-2-M-S lid stay offers adjustable closing speed, and its soft-close function from 0 degrees to 30 degrees lets installers tune how gently and quickly the door settles closed.
The Sugatsune soft-close top opening stay with medium torque brings lift assist, freestop, and soft-down action into one integrated Aileron System, so upward-opening doors gain smooth, controlled motion. With defined board thickness limits and a 35.4 to 53.1 lb torque range, this ARN-2-M-S lid stay targets projects where predictable support and adjustable closing speed matter on every cycle. When paired with the Olympia concealed hinge 360-D26-19, it forms a coordinated concealed solution for work surfaces, tables, or cabinets needing reliable top-opening performance.
