How Motion Technology Supports Automotive Systems

Rotalink | Automotive 1

Seat Controls & Interior Actuation

Seat mechanisms require accurate, controlled movement across multi-axis adjustments.

Our miniature gearmotors deliver smooth, quiet and torque-rich motion suitable for premium seating systems and continuous duty cycles.

  • Forward/backward travel
  • Height and tilt adjustment
  • Recline and lumbar support
  • Headrest and cushion positioning
  • Ventilated seat airflow actuators

    Door, Window & Lock Mechanisms

    Compact actuation is critical in automotive access and comfort systems.

    Our gearboxes provide the torque multiplication required for reliable, controlled motion within restricted installation spaces.

    • Power window lift motors
    • Mirror tilt, fold and memory positioning
    • Central door locking systems
    • Tailgate and sliding-door actuation
    • Fuel flap and charging-port mechanisms

      HVAC & Cabin Airflow Management

      Climate systems rely on precise, low-noise actuation.

      Silent, accurate movement is essential for modern vehicle NVH standards, making miniature geared motors ideal for HVAC assemblies.

      • Blend-door, mode-door and recirculation-door control
      • Vent grille and airflow zone adjustment
      • Seat-ventilation fans and micro-blowers
