INDUSTRY COMPONENT

Support Plate

A structural plate in lumbar support mechanisms providing load-bearing stability and alignment.

Component Specifications

Definition
The Support Plate is a critical structural component within lumbar support mechanisms, designed to distribute mechanical loads, maintain ergonomic alignment, and provide a stable mounting surface for adjustment mechanisms. It ensures consistent force transmission from the actuator to the lumbar region while resisting deformation under cyclic loading.
Working Principle
Operates on principles of static equilibrium and load distribution, transferring forces from adjustment mechanisms (e.g., motors, levers) to the lumbar support surface while maintaining structural integrity through rigid or semi-rigid material properties.
Materials
Typically cold-rolled steel (CRS) grade 1008/1010, aluminum alloy 6061-T6, or glass-filled polyamide (PA6-GF30) for lightweight applications. Thickness ranges from 1.5mm to 3.0mm.
Technical Parameters
  • Weight 80-200g depending on material
  • Hardness HRB 70-85 (steel) or 80-95 HB (aluminum)
  • Thickness 2.0mm ±0.1mm
  • Load Capacity ≥ 1500N static, ≥ 500N cyclic
  • Surface Finish Powder-coated or anodized, Ra ≤ 1.6μm
Standards
ISO 12100, ISO 13849-1, DIN 5510-2
