A specialist manufacturer of friction & wear testers and laboratory stirrers,
supporting R&D and quality control worldwide.
Among scientific instruments for high-mix low-volume production, the “three-one motor” is safer, easier to use, and supports agitation research, which is indispensable for scientific experiments. “Tribo gear” for equipment design, new material development, and tribology (friction amount) that is closely related to general life.
Focusing on the fields of these agitators and friction and wear test equipment, we have built up trust in 60 years by deepening and enlarging the substrates of highly technologically advanced products. We will continue to develop products based on Haydon’s original ideas.

Our brand "HEIDON" was named after the name "Hiradon" that was given to the founder, Mashei Nomura, during his apprenticeship. In 1945, Masuhei Nomura entered a physics and chemistry store in Nihonbashi, and the nickname given by the husband of that store was "Hiradon" by adding "Den" to "Hira" of "Masuhei". However, he didn't like it, and HEIDON is a brand born from his rebellious spirit and Kikai-ya spirit. The thoughts of the founder are still inherent in HEIDON products.
This company’s “Heidon” brand name derives from the nickname “Heidon” given to the company’s founder Masuhei Nomura at the time when he was working as an apprentice. Even though the brand sounds like it may be a German word, our company is “Made in Japan”.
The “Three-one Motor” agitators are so-called because they promise the “Three No.1’s” of “Maintaining Safety”, “Delivering Satisfaction”, and “Maintaining After-sales Care”.
This name was formed by combining the words “tribology” and “gear”. The name incorporates the feeling of wishing to create products through effectively using the complex study of friction and wear as a tool.
