Motors and Potentiometers
Motors and potentiometers
Motors
The four motors control the following functions:
- Motor 1 moves the seat backward and forward.
- Motor 2 controls the backrest angle.
- Motor 3 controls the height of the rear of the seat cushion.
- Motor 4 controls the height of the front of the seat cushion.
Potentiometers
The potentiometers (5) act as position senders and provide the control module with feedback information on the position of the seat. They are driven by a worm gear located on the output shaft of each motor.
The resistance in the potentiometer is proportional to the output shaft position.
