Where the best parties end up Kitchen

Kitchen

The kitchen is no longer just the sum of its functions. For more and more people, it’s become the focal point of activity and an expression of personal lifestyle and living ambiance. 

How can moving elements ranging from kitchen drawers to kitchen cabinets be designed to underscore that overall high-quality feel? How can operation of even the washing machine be kept quiet, gentle, and cushioned? 

In all these areas, you can rely on our technical expertise in motion control and on the ease of integration of our products into your applications.

In drawers and pull-out parts, our dampers ensure harmonious travel into the desired position without hard annoying stops. 

Opening and closing, easy outward hinging, and secure positioning – our products can make operation safer and more comfortable anywhere, and they make the kitchen more inviting and its elements longer lasting.

Our commitment to flexible, contemporary product design

As a kitchen furnishings manufacturer, you can let your inspiration run wild in your interior design plans. Wherever clever storage space and motion control solutions are needed, wherever devices need to disappear behind a discreet facade, our gas springs, dampers, and electromechanical drives serve up solutions even in the smallest of spaces.

Kitchen drawers

Cutlery, kitchen devices, dishes – kitchen drawers in particular must often withstand quite a bit of weight.

Movements must be cushioned based on load in order to ensure that the drawer glides open and closed securely and smoothly. At the same time, the drawer must then also be capable of closing reliably when low force is applied. This is all factored into the design of our hydraulic motion dampers and gas springs.

Functionality

Gas springs and dampers from Stabilus can brake the motion of even heavy drawers and cabinet doors in time during closing. And still yet, they reliably travel back to their end position. Gas springs make it possible to precisely set the opening and closing speeds. Gentle force assistance is also afforded to the movement of these components.

Washing machines

Compact living is the trend, making the kitchen often the right place for the washing machine.

Even modern washing machines can become unbalanced when the load is unevenly distributed during the spinning cycle, causing the machine to wander. Such extremely concentrated compressive loads age machines faster. Plus, the noise – which is preventable – causes neighbors and roommates alike to suffer.

Functionality

During the spinning cycle, our dampers prevent hard stops of the drum and keep the machine on secure footing. The washing machine's drum is suspended in a cushioned manner, and the specially designed dampers from Stabilus absorb its motion reliably. Even at critical speeds, the machine remains pleasantly quiet.

Benefits to you

  • operation that protects materials
  • maintenance free
  • ultimate reliability for years and years
