Plastic helical gears for seat adjustment systems
Compact. Lightweight. Precise.
Car seats are the components in a vehicle with which people form the closest connection. And the higher the quality of the car, the higher the demands placed on the comfort, convenience, and functionality of the electric seat adjustment system. We develop and produce components and seat adjustment systems to control numerous different parameters:
They enable the seat to be adjusted to the most relaxed and comfortable position at the push of a button, with the maximum level of convenience.
And the most important thing is: Thanks to our expertise in plastic engineering, our drive components are lightweight, quiet and powerful all at the same time. They are designed for a long service life and can withstand demanding ambient conditions. This includes frequent movement and strain, as well as vibrations, temperature fluctuations and humidity in the vehicle.
What components or systems for seat adjustment in cars can we develop and produce for you?
The quieter vehicles become, the more discreetly a drive for a comfort or convenience function must operate. This is why we optimize our gears for quiet operation.
We already optimize our gear components with respect to their weight and installation space during the design phase. This ensures they comply with any space restrictions, while guaranteeing a high level of performance.
By customizing wall thicknesses and using reinforced plastics, we ensure that our gear systems will work properly for the lifetime of the vehicle.
Plastic helical gears for seat adjustment systems We produce our helical gears from high-performance plastics and with extremely precise geometry. This allows for the exact positioning of the seat, while at the same time ensuring that the actuator in the seat enjoys an exceptionally long service life. This means we can guarantee reliable performance over the entire lifetime of the vehicle – and fulfil many other requirements expected in the automotive industry:
Our modern production plants allow us to produce millions of units cost effectively in a short period of time. Careful handling of the components and the use of cooling conveyors ensures that our parts have an especially high level of quality even in series production.
The housing plays a crucial role in drive solutions for seat adjustment systems because it joins the gear components together, while integrating the feature into the vehicle at the same time. Our technical housing parts guarantee quiet and smooth motion control and precise adjustment of the seat position. Furthermore, they are designed to withstand the frequent movement and strain that seat adjustment systems are subject to in cars and are extremely durable for a long service life. Due to our many years of experience in the development and production of technical housing parts, you can expect the following from us:
By closely harmonizing the engineering and production processes, we can fulfil your specific requirements for the seat adjustment system in your car exactly – piece by piece, with the highest possible level of automation and at optimized unit cost.
Technical parts made out of high-performance plastics are ideal for fulfilling the specific requirements of the longitudinal adjustment system for your seats due to their precise and complex geometries. They make it possible to realize ergonomic structures and innovative designs that satisfy the highest standards with respect to functionality and aesthetics in the automotive industry. Having a focus on weight reduction during the design process also improves the efficiency of the seat adjustment drive. However, precision-made molded plastic parts also have many other advantages for the automotive industry:
We use a broad range of different technical thermoplastics for our injection molded parts and, depending on the design priority, add fillers or reinforcing materials to ensure they are robust and durable enough to handle the demanding requirements of the automotive sector. The combined production of injection molded parts for both the driver and front passenger seats in one tool ensures we can deliver high quality at attractive prices.
We use high-performance plastics to make technical parts to fulfil numerous tasks in systems for adjusting the backrest in cars where metal parts were used previously, as they have outstanding mechanical properties. These precision-made molded plastic parts also have numerous advantages for the automotive industry:
By closely harmonizing the development and production processes at our company, we can take tool construction into consideration from the outset and ensure that we always account for the warpage and shrinkage characteristics of plastic components. This means that our series production parts have excellent dimensional stability and high production quality.
