Lid support 35-40 ft lb describes a Carlson Capitol Mfg. Company spring loaded lift mechanism designed to manage lids in the 35 to 40 foot pound torque range, so the hardware matches heavier lids on chests or work surfaces. The 703-BLUE model is a lid support and stay from the 703 Series product class, giving a defined option when a center-mounted support is required. This unit mounts inside the cabinet opening, so the mechanism sits within the casework instead of on the exterior and keeps the hardware out of the way of surrounding surfaces. An exclusive cam action holds the lid in any position, which lets the lid stay wherever it is raised without drifting. This same cam action also supports the lid top when fully open, helping control movement through the full swing of the lid travel.
The 703 Series lid support is designed to be mounted to the center of the cabinet, which sets the hardware on the middle of the case rather than the left or right side. This central mounting approach suits lids where a single support can carry the torque within the 35 to 40 foot pound rating. The torque rating is defined as lid height times lid weight times one half, per each unit, which ties the hardware selection directly to lid dimensions and mass. Using this torque relationship, the 703-BLUE model slots into applications where the calculated value falls between 35 and 40 foot pounds. In practice, that alignment between rating and lid torque gives the cam and spring mechanism a working range where it can hold and move the lid effectively.
The 703-BLUE lid support is part of the Carlson Capitol Mfg. Company 703 Series, which is designed to be mounted to the center of the cabinet rather than to the side. This makes it suited to chest style lids and similar tops where a single central support can carry the torque that falls within the 35 to 40 foot pound rating. The support mounts inside of the cabinet opening, placing the mechanism inside the case where it operates between the cabinet interior and the underside of the lid. Because the cam action holds the lid in any position, a user can raise the lid part way or fully and have it remain where it is set under normal conditions. The same hardware also keeps heavy lids from slamming shut, as the spring and cam work together to resist an uncontrolled drop across the operating range.
The 703-BLUE model is described as a lid support and up stay with a spring loaded lift mechanism, which means the internal spring stores energy to help support the lid across opening and closing. The exclusive cam action is paired with cover brackets riveted to the cam, creating a linked assembly that holds the lid in any position and provides consistent action over repeated cycles. A solid brass enclosure slide is part of the mechanism, giving a defined sliding component for the lid motion path. High quality springs are available in different tensions for different lid sizes, so a unit in the 35 to 40 foot pound range can be selected when the torque calculation fits that window. The finish is statuary bronze and black oxide color, which presents a darker hardware surface that can visually coordinate with other dark finished components in the same cabinet or work surface assembly.
The 703-BLUE lid support has a torque rating of 35 to 40 foot pounds, so it is suited to lids whose lid height times lid weight times one half falls within that range.
The 703 Series lid support is designed to be mounted to the center of the cabinet, placing the spring loaded mechanism at the middle of the opening.
This lid support is for mounting inside of the cabinet opening, so the hardware operates within the cabinet interior beneath the lid.
The exclusive cam action holds the lid in any position, so the lid can stay partially open or fully open without drifting during normal use.
The spring loaded lift mechanism works with the cam to support lid movement and helps keep heavy lids from slamming shut while opening and closing.
The 703-BLUE lid support has a statuary bronze and black oxide color finish, which provides a dark appearance that can coordinate with similar toned hardware.
The Carlson Capitol Mfg. Company 703-BLUE lid support is described as a lid support, 35 to 40 foot pound, with a spring loaded lift mechanism and exclusive cam action. It is designed for mounting inside the cabinet opening at the center of the cabinet, aligning with chest style or similar lids where a single central support is appropriate. The torque rating is based on lid height times lid weight times one half per each, tying the hardware directly to the lid load. For projects that match this torque window and benefit from statuary bronze and black oxide color hardware, this 703 Series center mount support offers a defined option for controlling lid motion.
