Home appliances, furniture, housing equipment, etc... Can be applied to speed control of various items.
The new product that has emerged in the damper industry, which is primarily focused on rotary types, is the linear resin damper "FPD Series."
Like shock absorbers, it "catches" the motion, allowing for braking on linear movements.
This popular product is increasingly being adopted in various industries, including home appliances, furniture, and housing equipment.
The role of the FPD is to "slow down movement." By slowing it down, the following added values can be expected:
(1) Improved Safety
For example, with sliding doors, there is a possibility of accidents where children or the elderly might get their hands caught. Slowing down the movement can help prevent this.
(2) Noise Reduction
By softly catching the motion, the FPD can also reduce loud operational sounds. This can decrease stress during use.
(3) Creation of a Sense of Luxury
The slow movement and quiet operation—these qualities convey a high level of sophistication akin to luxury cars to the user. Please consider this when designing high-end models.
