Linear Damper for Printers and Rice Cookers ｜ Smooth, Safe, and Heat-Resistant Lid Motion Control – KEM (Thailand)
Fast lid movement in appliances or office equipment often causes loud impact noise.In pressure-lid rice cookers and printer paper trays, this can also lead to damage.
KEM (Thailand) developed a Linear Damper (Compression Type) to control lid movement speed, reduce impact and noise, and ensure safe operation.
🧩 Structure & Features
＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝
‐ Type: Linear Motion, Compression (direct force)
‐ Housing Diameter: Approx. Ø10 mm
‐ Material: Engineering Plastic (POM / PA)
‐ Operating Temperature: -5°C to +70°C
‐ Durability: 40,000+ compression cycles
‐ Mounting: Hinge Joint Mount Type
Operates by hydraulic resistance from silicone oil within a sealed cylinder.
The piston’s motion creates damping that slows lid movement and prevents rebound — even under repeated compression.
🧠 Industrial Applications
＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝
1️⃣ Printers / Copiers:
Installed on paper tray covers or scanner lids to prevent slamming and reduce noise.
2️⃣ Electric Rice Cookers:
Controls the release of pressure lids, preventing sudden pops from steam and ensuring user safety.
💡 Value for OEM Applications
＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝
‐ Reduces lid impact and rebound
‐ Enhances product safety and premium feel
‐ Works in confined spaces
‐ Supports high-temperature operation
‐ Extends product lifespan and quietness
🧪 Quality Control
＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝
Tested for 40,000+ compression cycles and thermal durability (-5°C to +70°C).
✅ Verified by KEM (Thailand) Engineering Team under Katoh Electrical Machinery Co., Ltd. (Japan) QA Standards [1][2].
📍 Case Examples
＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝
‐ Printers / Copiers (paper tray covers, scanner lids)
‐ Electric Rice Cookers (pressure lids)
‐ Enclosures requiring slow, safe opening/closing motion
