Lift Assist Damper with 95 Deg Stopper Low Torque is a Sugatsune America lift assist mechanism designed for panels in work surfaces, tables, and similar applications. The lift-assist function helps children, elderly, and disabled to open and close a supported panel by reducing the effort needed, which matters when access needs to stay easy for every user over time. As a lid support and stay, it helps control the motion of a countertop or work-surface panel, giving a smoother, more controlled travel in both opening and closing. This low torque version is suited to lighter panels where gentle, assisted movement is preferred, which is important when you want control without fighting a strong spring effect. The integrated 95 degree stopper holds the panel at that angle, so the panel does not over-rotate into the backsplash or nearby fixtures.
This Sugatsune America lift assist damper uses surface-mounting, so it fastens directly to the panel and framing surfaces rather than requiring concealed cavities, which simplifies layout on existing work surfaces and tables. That surface-mount design supports retrofit into existing countertop passages, helping you integrate lift assist and soft closing into current installations where access openings are already cut. The stopper holds the panel at 95 degrees, so alignment work centers on achieving that consistent open angle, which matters when coordinating with backsplashes, walls, or equipment behind the panel. Because the damper function engages at low angles, the mounting position influences how early the resistance and soft-close action take effect during closing.
This lift assist damper from Sugatsune America is categorized under work surface and tables, and under lift systems, lid supports, and stays, so it fits applications where a panel or lid covers an access opening in a horizontal surface. Its surface-mounting layout supports retrofit into existing countertop passages, which is useful in retrofit jobs on installed countertops that already have cutouts for access panels. As a lift assist mechanism with low torque, it suits lighter panels where you want motion control without a strong counterbalance, such as modest-size access lids in workstations or service counters. The lift-assist function helps children, elderly, and disabled to open and close the panel, making it appropriate for shared spaces where users have varied strength levels.
The soft-close damper eliminates the panel from slamming shut on hands and fingers, which protects users during frequent open-and-close cycles and also reduces jarring impacts that can loosen fasteners or stress hinges over time. Because the damper function engages at low angles and does not need to be fully opened to soft-close, the panel gains controlled resistance early in the closing movement, which is valuable in tight work areas where panels are often only partially raised before being lowered again. The stopper holds the panel at 95 degrees to prevent over-rotation, which gives a predictable open position that helps keep the panel clear of walls, backsplashes, or vertical equipment behind the opening. As a low torque lift assist mechanism, the motion feels moderate instead of aggressive, supporting smoother handling when users are focused on tasks around the work surface rather than on managing a heavy, spring-loaded lid.
The Lift Assist Damper with 95 Deg Stopper Low Torque is suited to work surfaces, tables, and countertop passages where a panel needs controlled assisted opening and soft closing.
The low torque design provides lift assist without a strong counterforce, which suits lighter panels where smooth, manageable motion is preferred over aggressive lifting action.
The stopper holds the panel at 95 degrees, preventing over-rotation so the panel avoids hitting nearby vertical surfaces and stays in a consistent open position for access.
The soft-close damper function engages at low angles and does not need a fully opened panel, so the panel begins controlled closing earlier in its travel.
Surface-mounting allows the damper to attach directly on existing structures, supporting retrofit into existing countertop passages without reworking internal cavities.
The soft-close damper eliminates the panel from slamming shut on hands and fingers, which enhances user safety during everyday opening and closing.
The Lift Assist Damper with 95 Deg Stopper Low Torque from Sugatsune America combines lift assist, soft-close damping, and a 95 degree stopper in a surface-mount format, aligning well with work surface and table panels that need controlled motion. For existing countertop passages, its surface-mounting and retrofit-friendly description support upgrades where adding assisted lifting and controlled closing improves access and user comfort. When a project calls for a low torque lift assist mechanism that helps children, elderly, and disabled to open and close a panel while reducing slam impact, this LAD-ST-L part number offers a focused solution for that role.
