Support Plate Component – Furniture Manufacturing

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
