Sugatsune S-ATJD stainless lid stay is a back panel mounted, spring loaded stainless steel lid stay that assists in lifting a door and holds it in the open position between 10 and 80 degrees. This function supports lids or doors that need controlled opening in a defined arc, which helps keep work areas clear while the lid stays open without constant hand support. The stay uses a balance adjustable spring mechanism, so torque can match applications up to 78lbs in torque, allowing installers to tune the lift assist to the specific lid weight. The product is part of the Sugatsune S-ATJD Series in the Lid Supports and Stays product class, which aligns it with work surface, table, and lift system applications where consistent opening and holding are required.
The S-ATJ01D lid stay mounts to the back panel, so the load is carried between the rear panel and the moving lid or door, creating a straightforward installation path for cabinets and work surfaces with solid backs. Its 78lbs in torque rating defines the spring assist capacity, which guides how it supports heavier lids when properly matched. The integrated balance adjustment works with that torque rating to fine-tune how quickly the lid lifts and how firmly it is held between 10 and 80 degrees, using the spring mechanism as the control element.
The Sugatsune S-ATJ01D lid stay, identified as part of the S-ATJD Series, is suited to work surface and table applications where a lid or door must lift and then stay open. Its back panel mounted design aligns with cabinets or enclosures that have a substantial rear mounting surface, routing forces into the back rather than relying on side panels. As a spring loaded stainless steel lid stay, it can assist in lifting doors or lids within the 78lbs in torque capability, making it relevant for medium-duty lids in woodworking projects and similar installations. The 10 to 80 degree holding range means the stay supports applications that do not require a fully vertical lid, but instead need a controlled, angled open position for access.
The balance adjustable spring mechanism in the S-ATJ01D lid stay directly affects how the lid behaves as it opens, because the adjustment allows the installer to match spring force to the lid's effective torque. This supports smoother motion and helps the lid stay in the intended open range between 10 and 80 degrees without excessive snap. With a rating of 78lbs in torque, the stay can be selected for lids whose loading falls within that limit, which is important when sizing hardware in the Lid Supports and Stays product class. Using the stay individually or in pairs provides another layer of control, because lighter lids can use a single unit while heavier lids can distribute load across two, all still benefiting from the stainless steel 430 construction that supports long-term use in work surface and table environments.
The S-ATJ01D lid stay assists in lifting a door and then holds it open between 10 and 80 degrees, providing controlled upward motion and a stable open position within that angle range.
The S-ATJ01D mounts on the back panel, so forces transfer into the rear of the cabinet or enclosure, allowing the front opening to remain clear while the stay operates behind the door or lid.
The 78lbs in torque rating defines the spring assist capacity, guiding selection for lids whose effective torque falls within that limit so the stay can provide appropriate lift support.
The S-ATJ01D balance adjustment lets the spring mechanism be tuned to the lid load, improving motion control and helping the lid hold more predictably between 10 and 80 degrees.
The S-ATJ01D can be installed individually or in pairs, so lighter lids can use one stay while heavier lids can be supported by two units sharing the load.
The S-ATJ01D is made of 430 stainless steel, providing a corrosion-resistant metal body suitable for typical woodworking, work surface, and table environments.
The S-ATJ01D from the Sugatsune S-ATJD Series combines a back panel mounted layout, a balance adjustable spring mechanism, and a 78lbs in torque rating to support controlled lift and holding between 10 and 80 degrees. For projects in work surface, table, and similar lid support applications, its 430 stainless steel construction and option to use individually or in pairs provide flexibility when specifying hardware within the Lid Supports and Stays category.
