New product information: A new modular type of self-locking rack jack has been introduced, featuring a rack movement of 17 mm per one rotation of the input shaft.

This is a reduction device with a new self-locking mechanism (Shoji Lock) that replaces worm gear reducers. It includes a lineup of reduction gears, rack jacks, and winches.

Compared to conventional worm gear reducers, our compact design and high efficiency have received positive feedback. However, we also hear many voices expressing resistance or anxiety towards new products, as well as those who prefer to stick with traditional options. We encourage both those who are hesitant and those who love new things to take a look at our case studies and consider them. Conversely, we welcome valuable suggestions on potential applications as well!

A jack that can lift a load of 50 kN with a light manual operating force (input shaft torque of approximately 11 Nm). It is an applied product of the new self-locking mechanism (Shoji Lock).

This is a jack developed for component maintenance. It is a manual jack equipped with a high-efficiency self-locking mechanism using spur gears, featuring the Shoji lock. The main body weighs 36 kg and is made of aluminum, designed with a focus on lightweight and manual operability. There are two input shafts (high/low), allowing for easy switching between quickly turning the handle when there is no load and applying force when there is a load, simply by changing the insertion of the handle. It can be widely used in places without power, as well as for disaster preparedness and energy-saving measures. It can also be used electrically.

• Small baggage lift

Faster and more efficient compared to screw jacks. It can be operated quickly and lightly by hand, has a compact design, and can hold loads without the need for a stopper, making it highly safe.

Unlike conventional screw jacks, this rack-type jack features an overwhelmingly fast rise and fall speed due to its high efficiency, making it easy to operate. It is equipped with a unique self-locking mechanism that allows it to hold loads without brakes or stoppers, making it a revolutionary jack. The rated thrust load is 50 kgf, and it can be operated easily by hand. It advances exactly 4 mm per rotation, allowing it to function as a round-number linear jack. With a significant advancement amount, it becomes a highly versatile rack jack and linear actuator.

• Small baggage lift

Compared to screw jacks, this is a hybrid type that allows for high speed and high efficiency, can be operated with commercially available electric tools, and can also be operated manually by attaching a handle.

Unlike conventional screw jacks, this rack-type jack features an overwhelmingly fast rise and fall speed due to its high efficiency, making it easy to operate. Therefore, it can be operated quickly with general electric tools (drivers/drills). It also comes equipped with a unique self-locking mechanism, allowing it to hold loads without brakes or stoppers, making it a revolutionary jack. Moreover, it is designed to be lightweight and compact while excelling in strength and durability. Additionally, it employs an omnidirectional actuator that can accommodate upward, downward, and lateral movements. It is also suitable for rack-type electric cylinders. This model has a rated thrust load of 100 kgf. *For more details, please visit the official website or feel free to contact us.*

Unlike conventional screw jacks, this rack-type jack features an overwhelmingly fast rise and fall speed due to its high efficiency, making it easy to operate. As a result, it can be operated quickly with common electric tools (drivers/drills). Equipped with a unique self-locking mechanism, this revolutionary jack can hold loads without brakes or stoppers. It is not only strong and durable but also designed to be lightweight and compact. Additionally, it employs an omnidirectional actuator that can accommodate upward, downward, and lateral movements. It is also ideal for rack-type electric cylinders, with a rated thrust load of 200 kgf and a reduction ratio of 63. *For more details, please visit our official website or feel free to contact us.

Japan is one of the top 10 countries in the world with frequent earthquakes. The 2020 White Paper on Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has also reported an increase in the probability of major earthquakes occurring. Regarding the Nankai Trough earthquake, the probability of an earthquake with a magnitude of 8 to 9 occurring within the next 30 years is estimated to be 70 to 80%. At Hotron, we recommend the introduction of seismic devices for earthquake countermeasures in buildings and equipment. The seismic device 'HK-2' is a product that automatically performs various controls that have been pre-set when it detects strong shaking equivalent to a seismic intensity of 5 lower or higher. For example, it can automatically execute actions such as: "Open automatic doors and gates to secure evacuation routes and access for emergency vehicles" "Transmit signals to the control room and stop facility equipment" "Unlock the keys to locked lockers" "Automatically play voice guidance" For more details, please download the materials or contact us.

Do you have any concerns or requests regarding wired bed exit sensors? × Tangling or tripping over wired cables × Cable disconnection or damage × Worrying about forgetting to turn the switch back on after temporarily stopping the sensor. × Wanting to be notified of bed exits even from a location far from the nurse call outlet. Such concerns can be resolved simply by connecting our wireless nurse call linked set to the sensor! Our wireless nurse call linked set allows you to connect bed exit sensors like "Ugo-kun," "Foldable Thin Matta-kun," "Ayumi-chan," and "Just Place Pole-kun" to transmitters and receivers, reducing wiring around the bed area, alleviating concerns about tripping or falling due to cables, and contributing to a tidier work environment. Furthermore, it enables the use of bed exit sensors even from locations far from the nurse call outlet, allowing for more flexible equipment placement.

Kort Valuta has released a workplace initiative model that leverages points exchangeable for electronic money to support the adoption of safety and wellness habits. Examples include: ・Hydration reporting ・Viewing heatstroke prevention content ・Pre-shift condition checks ・Voice-based condition checks By linking these activities to incentive points, organizations can encourage voluntary participation while supporting workplace safety and employee well-being. The model is designed not only for frontline environments such as: ・Logistics ・Construction ・Manufacturing but also for office-based health and well-being programs. Safety posters and reminders alone are often not enough to drive lasting behavioral change. We hope this initiative provides a practical example for organizations seeking new approaches to workplace safety and employee engagement.
