Check out our new Automotive Seat Application Overview!

Both passengers and drivers want a “quality” feel when adjusting automotive seats to their desired comfort levels. Seat recliner mechanisms must be able to move forward and backward with a smooth, controlled motion. The control cables that actuate these seat movements can be under high loads and constant cycling. As well, the seat track assembly must allow for positional movement without rattling or vibrating at high speeds. Lubricating these components will improve efficiency by reducing friction, allowing the components to move under a broad range of operating conditions in a quick, smooth manner. Download the Automotive Seat Application Overview to learn which lubricants are recommended for seat tracks, control cables, lumbar actuators, position motors, reclining mechanisms, headrest posts, and power seat switches.
