Since 1930, Sugastune has developed and manufactured mechanical hardware components that engineers continue to rely on. Today, we incorporate innovative motion technologies into hardware parts so engineers can create products that enhance the daily lives of people. We call it Motion Design Tec®.

Motion Design Tec® refers to hardware components developed around 6-different motions: 

Free-Stop: Friction technologies to hold objects in position at any angle. 
Unique Motion: Non-traditional ways for doors or flaps to move.
Assist Motion: To make lifting or opening easier. 
Soft-Motion: Dampening technology for controlled, silent and safe function. 
Detent Motion: Gearing technology to provide exact stopping points. 
Mult-Linear Motion: For controlled and seamless lateral motion.

Based on these 6-motions, Sugatsune continuously introduces new, unique mechanical hardware parts that will bring your product ideas to life and work with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to develop and customize hardware solutions that will put your IDEAS in MOTION!
