Key Features and Benefits
Intelligent standing assistance, restoring ease to sitting and standing
The core value of Lift Chairs lies in helping users transition between sitting and standing safely and effortlessly. Our Linear actuators utilise precise ‘tilt and lift’ coordinated control to move the entire seat forwards and upwards, naturally shifting the user’s centre of gravity and enabling a transition from a seated to a standing position with minimal effort. The descent is equally smooth and controlled, with the seat gently lowering the user back into a seated position at a slow pace, thereby avoiding the discomfort and safety risks associated with sudden seating. The entire process requires no active effort from the user and is completed at the touch of a button, truly realising the concept of ‘the chair actively adapting to the person’.
Powerful thrust, effortlessly handling heavy loads
Lift Chairs must simultaneously support both the user’s body weight and the chair’s own structural weight, placing extremely high demands on the actuator’s thrust. Our Linear actuators provide ample thrust reserve, ensuring smooth lifting and lowering and effortless operation regardless of the user’s build. The actuator features a high-precision transmission design, maintaining smooth, linear motion even under heavy loads.
Quiet Operation, Suited to Home and Care Settings
Lift Chairs are used in home bedrooms, living rooms and care facilities, and strict noise control is essential. Our Linear actuators maintain excellent low-noise performance even when operating at full load; whether assisting with standing or adjusting posture, every movement is quiet and composed, ensuring it does not disturb the rest or activities of others in the same space.
Multiple memory positions, one-touch switching to your ideal posture
The control box features a built-in high-precision position encoding system capable of storing multiple sets of customised memory positions. Whether it’s reading mode, film mode, zero-gravity mode or nap mode, once users have saved their preferred position with a single press, the chair will automatically move to the corresponding preset position with just a light touch of the Controls. Every family member can have their own personalised position settings, allowing the chair to serve multiple purposes and switch between them at will.
Wired Controls, operation at your fingertips
Lift Chairs come standard with a wired remote control, eliminating the need to bend down or turn sideways to locate the control unit; all operations can be performed with a simple press of a button. The Controls’ button layout is clear and the labels are prominent, taking full account of the usage habits and visual characteristics of older adults. Large buttons combined with clear tactile feedback ensure that even users with impaired vision or reduced hand dexterity can operate the Lift Chair with ease.
Multiple safety features safeguard every movement
Lift Chairs are equipped with multiple safety features to ensure safety during every movement:
● Obstacle detection and retraction mechanism: The Lift Chair automatically reverses direction upon encountering an obstacle during operation, preventing pinching injuries
● Low-voltage DC drive: Ensures electrical safety during use

● Child lock function on the Controls: Prevents accidents caused by accidental activation by children
● Emergency stop button: Immediately halts all movement in the event of an emergency
● Non-slip base design: Ensures the chair remains stable and does not shift during lifting and lowering
A Smooth and Seamless Lifting Experience
Linear actuators provide constant-speed, jerk-free linear motion throughout the entire range of motion. Whether gently assisting the user to stand or reclining smoothly, every movement is fluid and controllable, allowing users to enjoy a silky-smooth electric adjustment experience and completely eliminate the effort and stiffness associated with traditional manual adjustments.
Compact Design, Suitable for All Chair Types
Our Linear actuators are renowned for their compact appearance and structure, allowing them to be easily installed within the limited space beneath Lift Chairs whilst meeting both load-bearing and installation requirements. A variety of mounting options and stroke lengths are available to suit Lift Chairs of different brands and designs.
Extensive expansion features
● Optional USB charging port for convenient power supply to mobile phones and other personal devices
● Optional seat heating function to enhance comfort during winter use
● Optional vibration massage module to relieve physical fatigue
Richmat’s engineers provide end-to-end technical support, from needs assessment and solution design through to product delivery, ensuring that our reliable linear drive systems safeguard every moment of standing up and sitting down.
