Automotive Interior Applications

Seat adjustments

Nowadays, a modern car seat has many manual and electronic adjustment options. Whether in the height, length, leg rest, armrest or headrest adjustment, whether in the folding mechanism or in the seat rotation: durability and reducing noise and weight are essential requirements for components in every modern seat construction. Our bearing technology and energy chain systems are ideal for this use.
