Rotary-Type Dampers: An Elegant Solution


Lapcon™ rotary torque dampers utilize the principle of fluid resistance to provide damping torque. As the lid or panel is pushed, lowered, or allowed to fall with gravity, a layer of high-viscosity, task-suited oil inside the damper generates friction. This acts like a brake, providing the damping torque that allows for smooth motion.

Different Models Available


We make a variety of rotary dampers, including different sizes and torque ratings, and models that provide damping in only one direction or in both directions. The viscosity of the oil is also adjustable, giving you access to different torque ratings with the same damper.

We also offer custom damper options. Let us know what you need, and our engineers can very likely make it happen.

For other Lapcon torque damper types, check out our Disk Dampers, Barrel Dampers, and Adjustable Vane Dampers.

Cycle-Tested for Proven Durability


Our rotary torque dampers are cycle-tested for durability, both for natural closings and forced closings. The result is hardware that will faithfully do the job for many years, even in difficult environments or heavy-use settings.

These rotary-type dampers are suitable for use in many different settings, including

  • Consumer electronics
  • Arm rests, glove boxes and other storage compartments in vehicles
  • Industrial equipment
  • Toy boxes
  • Tool Boxes
  • Storage compartments
  • Furniture

Use Them Where You Need Them


Our rotary dampers have a wide operating temperature range that covers virtually all indoor environments. Additionally, their high quality construction provides durability and some resilience to water exposure.
