Ideal for upward and top-opening lids and covers for machine equipment, the HG-PA series of hinges offers innovative lid control. This article will feature these robust power-assist hinges, which integrate three out of five motions from Sugatsune’s Motion Design Tec unique product concept: power-assist motion, free-stop motion, and soft motion.
