What is synchronous mechanics for office chairs?

Synchronized Chair With a standard mechanism, the backrest can be pre-set by hand, without contact pressure, at an angle; the seat remains always unmoved.
An improvement in standard mechanics is called permanent contact. Here, the backrest generates a counterforce, which presses the back slightly when adjusting against the back. Nevertheless, a permanent movement of the user is not possible because of the rigid seat would create a "shirt extraction effect".
The synchronous mechanism, however, provides a synchronous movement of the backrest and seat, which moves separately in the correct angular position to the backrest. Increasing the hip angle when leaning back thus ensures that the distance between the backrest and the seat surface always remains constant.
The advantage of this is that the lumbar support (the lower area of the backrest with bulge, also called lumbar support) always remains in the same place and the back is optimally and constantly supported with each movement. A dynamic sitting with freedom of movement is therefore only possible at all. In the synchronous mechanism, the contact pressure of the chair movement on the body weight and the body size of the user can be adjusted individually and continuously.

Why are there chairs that follow the user's movements on all sides?

In 'ordinary' office swivel chairs, where the chair does not follow their movements, one sits all day more or less unmoving and rigid. This often leads to a one-sided, constant load on the body. Also incorrect postures or incorrect seating positions are pre programmed. Recommended is sitting on the move. Conventionally supported by a synchronous mechanism, which supports a correct sitting posture in the two-dimensional area and relieves the spine.
3-D swivel chair Shape Meshrelief of the spine has not only positive effects. It lacks the "training" of the supporting back muscles. Different with the "3-D-sitting". Through the three-dimensional movement comes new momentum in your daily work. The alternation between straight sitting at the work table and leaning back, eg when telephoning, reading or entertaining, loads the fibrous structured disc ring differently and flows through it, similar to a sponge, to help prevent damage (disc prolapse).
Through a three-dimensional movement as a complement to the synchronous mechanism, all-round small movements are generated, which are otherwise lost when running compared to running. The intervertebral discs are thus better supplied with new nutrients with each movement, and the deep muscles of the back is stimulated. As a result, any back problems occurring are counteracted as best as possible and the circulation is activated. When you first sit on a 3D chair for a while, it may take some getting used to, but after a short period of getting used to it, you may not want to miss that freedom of movement.

How do office chairs work?

As office chairs or swivel chairs work, can not be said in itself due to the large variety flat rate. To know more about the office chairs, go to the Chairs Advisor.

Here are the basics:

The base of the swivel chair is the 5-star base on rollers. By means of rollers for hard or soft floors, the mobility in the room is achieved. The 5-star base ensures stability and stability. The seat is connected to the base by a gas spring. This adjusts the seat height to the respective user or the height of the work surface. Connected to the seat is the backrest, which should be adjustable in inclination.

For longer periods of use, the seat and backrest should be connected with one another via a corresponding mechanism in order to ensure activity and mobility while sitting or to provide ergonomic support. True to the principle: the right posture is always the next. The mechanics are very varied and follow different views on ergonomically correct sitting, or take into account specific needs for the needs of the user. Armrests are now standard on the office chair. They serve as a stand-up aid and to support the arms in the desk or PC work.
