Horizontal use is applied to the case where the final position of a moving object (application) becomes horizontal. A rotary damper is placed at the rotation center, and the rotary damper torque increases gradually as the position becomes horizontal. ■Applications – Dust boxes – Toilet seat covers – Piano lids – TV console doors – Industrial refrigerator doors
Relationship between operation and torque
Vertical use
Vertical use is applied to the case where the final position of a moving object (application) is suspended vertically. A rotary damper is placed at the rotation center, and the rotary damper torque becomes the largest at the horizontal position and then decreases gradually. ■Applications – Bakery shelves – Range hoods – Vending machines – Shower sheets – Cat doors
Relationship between operation and torque
Horizontal & Vertical use
Horizontal use & Vertical use is applied to the case where the final position of a moving object (application) becomes diagonal. A rotary damper is placed at the rotation center, and the rotary damper torque increases gradually as the position becomes horizontal and when the position becomes horizontal, the torque reaches a maximum, and then decreases gradually.
This method is used to slow the movement of free fall, as well as the pop-up operation, by means of a spring, using the rack and pinion mechanism. This enables the operation of a moving object at constant speed. ■Applications – Drink dispenser – Sliding doors – Cord rewinding – Flush buttons – Drink holders
