Deciphering Office Chair Mechanisms for a Knowledgeable Purchase
Choosing and buying office chairs that match our requirements and style can be a daunting task. With a plethora of technical details and terminologies involved, it’s easy for someone to take advantage of our lack of knowledge and persuade us that their chair is the perfect choice. Here, we demystify two common office chair mechanisms – synchronized and knee-tilt – to equip you with the knowledge to make a well-informed decision.
1. Knee Tilt Mechanism
The knee tilt mechanism enables the chair to pivot from its front edge. As the back of the chair reclines, the front does not rise, reducing pressure under the knees, which can enhance posture and reduce fatigue. The seat and back move backward together in chairs with a fixed seat-to-back relationship. The knee tilt action keeps the person’s feet flat on the floor when the chair is tilted backward. A knee tilt mechanism will have height adjustment, tilt tension, and the ability to lock the backrest in multiple positions, assisting you in choosing the best reclining position. Knee tilt chairs offer full adjustment support for various tasks, making them ideal for general office, task, and executive seating.
2. Synchronized Mechanism
The synchronized mechanism allows the chair to pivot from its front edge. As the back of the chair reclines, the front does not rise, reducing pressure under the knees, which can enhance posture and reduce fatigue. The seat and back move backward together in chairs with a fixed seat-to-back relationship. The synchronized tilt action keeps the person’s feet flat on the floor when the chair is tilted backward. A synchronized mechanism will have height adjustment, tilt tension, and the ability to lock the backrest in multiple positions, assisting you in choosing the best reclining position. Synchronized tilt chairs offer full adjustment support for various tasks, making them ideal for general office, task, and executive seating.
