In everyday life

In today's world, convenience, safety and reliability are in demand. Domestic appliances and goods are also evolving. And in the kitchen, THK's technology is part of that evolution.

System kitchens

System kitchens

 

A kitchen at just the right height for you. 

In UD (universal design) kitchens, our LM Guides can be found under the sink, while our linear bushing and LM Shaft technologies can be found in the hoists of hanging cupboards. Historically, the hoist section of height-adjustable sinks was subject to various stresses and pressure, which could make it jerky, unstable and unsafe.

However, this UD system kitchen does not suffer from these problems, thanks to our LM guides Model SSR. Anticipating the various forces that can be applied to the moving parts in a kitchen, we chose these highly rigid LM Guides to ensure smooth movement and an unprecedented level of safety and reassurance.

As we move towards a society where members of the same household become more and more separated in age, these UD kitchens will become increasingly important.
