Heavy spring loaded lid stay uses a spring mechanism that assists lifting the door and holds it in the open position, so lids on work surfaces or tables stay up without someone supporting them during access or work. This Sugatsune America lid support is part of the Lid Supports and Stays product class, giving you a purpose-built option when you need controlled support instead of improvised props. The unit is designed as a back mount lid support, so it mounts at the back of the cabinet or casework, keeping the sides clear for hinges or other hardware layouts. With maximum torque of 78 lbs/in referenced in the description, the mechanism is engineered for heavier lids in its class, providing support strength matched to demanding woodworking or fixture applications. As a Lid Supports category component, it fits naturally into lift systems on work surfaces and tables where repeatable opening and holding are important.
This back mount lid support is described as a back mount component, so the installer positions the hardware on the rear structure of the cabinet or housing, aligning with common lift system layouts on work surfaces and tables. The mounting center to center dimension of 3/4 inch gives a fixed reference between mounting points, helping layout and drilling stay consistent when repeating the same design across several units or when replacing an existing stay of the same model. With a specified hold open angle of 80 degrees, the mechanism opens the lid to a controlled point rather than leaving motion undefined, which supports planning for overhead clearances and user access. Because the spring mechanism both assists lifting and holds the door open, the same installation position provides lift assistance on the way up and stable support once the lid reaches its open angle.
This Sugatsune America lid stay is categorized under Work Surface and Tables with Lift Systems, Lid Supports and Stays, so it is directed at applications where a horizontal surface lifts up for access or storage. In these layouts, using a back mount design lets the hardware sit at the rear of the casework, which can help keep side edges clear for other components or for design details on the exterior of the lid. The heavy spring loaded lid stay uses its spring mechanism to assist lifting the door, matching typical motions where a user raises a work surface lid or access panel from the front. Once opened, the same mechanism is specified to hold the door in the open position, so the work zone or storage space remains accessible without needing additional props or supports.
The description references maximum torque of 78 lbs/in, which identifies this as a heavier-duty lid stay within its product description and helps align the component with lids whose weight and leverage fall into that torque range. The hold open angle of 80 degrees gives a predictable final position, helping layouts remain consistent when several lids must open to the same height along a bank of workstations or cabinets. The 3/4 inch mounting center to center dimension provides a concrete drilling pattern, which is useful when fabricating multiple cabinets or standardizing a shop jig for this stay. Because the stay can be installed individually or in pairs, a designer can plan for one stay on smaller lids or a pair on larger ones while keeping the torque rating, angle, and mounting dimensions identical across the project.
The heavy spring loaded lid stay is classified under Lid Supports and Stays for work surfaces and tables, so it is intended for lift-up doors or lids where the surface opens to an 80 degree hold position.
The spring mechanism assists lifting the door by adding lifting force as the lid opens, which reduces user effort and helps move heavier lids more smoothly into the hold open position.
The back mount lid stay is described as a back mount design, so it is positioned on the rear structure of the cabinet or casework rather than on the sides, fitting many lift system layouts.
The 78 lbs/in torque description identifies this as a heavier-duty stay within its range, aligning it with lids whose weight and leverage suit that torque capacity during lifting and holding.
The 80 degree hold open angle means the lid opens to a defined position that keeps it up for access, helping plan surrounding clearances and consistent open height on multiple units.
The Sugatsune lid stay can be installed individually or in pairs, giving flexibility to use one stay on smaller lids or two on larger designs while keeping the same mounting details.
This Sugatsune America heavy spring loaded lid stay provides a defined 80 degree hold open angle, a back mount layout, and spring-assisted lifting, so it fits projects that demand controlled lid motion on work surfaces or tables. With maximum torque of 78 lbs/in referenced in the description and a 3/4 inch mounting center to center dimension, it brings both strength and clear layout information to new builds or standardized shop runs. For installations that benefit from individual or paired stays using the same model, this S-AT01S lid support offers a consistent approach to lift-up door support in woodworking and fixture applications.
