The pedal adjuster is a crucial safety feature specifically engineered to minimize the risk of driver injury in the event of airbag deployment. By enabling the pedals to adjust towards the driver, rather than requiring the driver to move towards the pedals, this innovative mechanism ensures that the driver remains at a safe distance from the airbag and its potentially hazardous deployment.

S.S. White manufactures flexible shafts that operate a lead screw mechanism, transmitting torque through narrow and confined spaces.

The power sliding door in a vehicle operates using an electric motor controlled by an electronic unit. It includes switches and sensors to monitor door position and detect obstacles, ensuring safe operation. The motor drives the door along a track, powered by the vehicle's electrical system. Integrated into the vehicle's systems, it provides user control via buttons on the key fob, door handle, or interior panel.

The S.S. White flexible shaft efficiently transfers rotational force from a motor located remotely to a driving gear, enabling smooth movement of the sliding door along its track. The positioning of the motor away from the primary use area of the door ensures optimal functionality, safety, and ease of use.

Power seat tracks are constructed of durable metal rails attached to the vehicle's base, allowing the seat to move forward, backward, and sometimes vertically. Each track includes electric motors that are controlled by switches or buttons located on the seat or door panel. These motors drive the seat along the tracks through a transmission system that converts the rotational power of the motor into linear motion. The seat is mounted on a slide mechanism to ensure smooth movement.

S.S. White flexible shafts enable rotational movement around bends, obstacles, and misalignments commonly found in seat track assemblies, with a focus on reducing noise and vibration.
