Automotive Seat Recliner Rods Manufactured at Bekaert

Multi-lobed shaped steel connecting rods, or transmission rods, are vital components in reclining seat systems both powered and manual. They link adjustment mechanisms on either side of the seat. In manual systems, a control lever operates on one side of the seat to move the connecting rod synchronizing the rotation of both adjustment mechanisms. Powered seats rotate the recliner bar with an electric motor.

With a durable connecting rod, users can adjust their seats safely and efficiently. Connecting rods also help maintain the reclined position once the seat is locked into place.

These bars or tubes must synchronize with the recliner mechanisms for secure locking and transmit rotary movement for a smooth reclining motion. At Bekaert, we create steel connecting rods with precision to deliver the right bar or tube for your seat reclining system.

Our steel rods have high torque durability in solid, tube and hybrid styles for the best results. Bekaert will help engineer compact and lightweight torsion rod designs. Our rapid prototyping services lead to tailor-made designs for proof-of-concept applications.

We manufacture our ready-for-assembly bars or tubes with your preferred profile geometry, such as squares, hexagons, star-shaped, or multiple lobes. Our finishing techniques include brush deburring, chamfering, drilling, staking and machining — Bekaert will provide a specific bar-end finishing at your request.
