Fehrer Seat Mounted Armrest
High capacity in compact design for high load bar, versatile and cost-efficient: Fehrer introduces the new armrest SMA (seat mounted armrest) and thus sets a new benchmark. The Interior specialist F.S. Fehrer Automotive GmbH complements with the innovative armrest SMA (seat mounted armrest) be product portfolio in the business unit seat modules “and proves its innovative strength thereby. After 1,5jahriger development time, an armrest available, their Vorzuge in combination are unique in the market is the market with the SMA now. The challenge facing the Fehrer engineering specialists were confronted during the development was at the same time lightweight and Muscleman high capacity in compact design this simple formula. The main feature and also the problem for arms mounted directly at the Office: there is only one access point for the mounting on the seat.
In spite of the resulting long lever arm loading forces must in cars according to OEM specification at any point up to 100 kg be put away. In trucks, where the armrest is also often also used as guide, she must cope with load: 150 kg. The system itself should take not more than 1 kg on the scale. Fehrer has constructively mastered this task and developed a modular system that acts like a Muscleman despite compact and easily meets all specifications. Another advantage of Fehrer SMA is the high degree of design freedom that it allows developers to implement customer requirements flexibly. Modular construction minimizes development time and costs In the development process is the basis for the success and the acceptance of a product. The SMA is designed as a modular system, in which many components for universal use. No matter whether armrests for front or rear seats, or whether in some cases a rest, Rotary or button mechanism is to be used.
The modular construction principle reduces tool costs and shortens the development time dramatically. Only 6 months Fehrer required the request from the client to the final production. Simple Assembly of the innovative technology reduces costs at the final assembly. The connection point of the SMA is mounted at an early stage on the seat, the armrest itself can be later simply inserted without tools. You locked it independently in their axial locking. Thus, the Assembly is significantly simplified and economical. The market response to the Fehrer-SMA is consistently positive. Currently the system accompanied, for example, the passengers in the new SMART fortwo and 2012 new Ford Transit. In addition the Kitzinger indoor specialist located in further concrete discussions with various customers from the automotive industry and other industrial sectors. Finally, the new development for manufacturers such as buses or trains is an attractive solution. Press contact: F.S.
