Sugatsune SDS-C301N/WHT Soft-down Stay Damper 6 Lb

Product Description

The SUGATSUNE SDS-C301N/WHT is a soft-down stay damper designed to control the lowering motion of hinged panels, lids, and cabinet doors. It applies a controlled damping force that slows descent and holds the panel in position, preventing slamming and reducing wear on the assembly. Rated for a 6-pound load capacity, this unit is constructed from a combination of plastic, steel, and zinc alloy with a nickel-plated finish in white. It is a non-handed design, making it suitable for left- or right-side installation without separate SKUs. Installers in cabinet manufacturing, millwork, and fixture fitting will encounter this hardware in both residential and light commercial applications.

This damper is used in applications where a hinged panel, lid, or access door requires controlled, soft-close descent. Typical installations include overhead cabinet doors, flip-down panels, storage compartment lids, and similar hinged assemblies. The non-handed configuration simplifies stocking and installation on either side of an opening. It is common in residential cabinetry, furniture manufacturing, and commercial millwork where smooth, damped motion is required to protect contents and hardware over repeated cycles.

Key Features

• 6 lb load capacity supports controlled lowering of lightweight hinged panels and lids
• Soft-down damping action prevents slamming and reduces stress on hinges and panels
• Non-handed design installs on left or right side without modification
• Nickel-plated white finish resists corrosion and suits visible cabinet interiors
• Multi-material construction using plastic, steel, and zinc alloy for durability

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style stay damper for hinged panel and cabinet lid assemblies requiring soft-down motion control with a load capacity at or below 6 pounds.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by cabinetmakers, millworkers, or finish carpenters using standard hand tools. Confirm the panel load does not exceed the 6-pound rated capacity before installation. Secure all fastener points fully before cycling the panel to verify damping action. No power source is required, but always ensure the cabinet or assembly is stable and supported during fitting.
