Product Information
Product Overview
The shafted headrest mechanism is a stepped system that fixes the head support section of a chair or sofa at six separate angles. It works on a shaft: as the headrest is pushed forward the positions engage in turn and hold it at that angle. After the last position the headrest is released and returns to its starting position.
Product Advantages
- Six positions let the head support angle be set to suit the user.
- Working on a shaft, the movement is single-axis and steady.
- The stepped catch holds the headrest so it does not fall back on its own.
- The mounting plate lets it be screwed directly to the headrest frame.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you move between the six positions?
As the headrest is pushed forward the positions engage in turn and hold it at that angle. Pushed once more after the sixth position, the mechanism releases and the headrest returns to its starting position on its own.
How many are used in one seat?
It depends on the headrest width: a single unit on narrow headrests, or a symmetrical pair at both sides on wide ones. Send us your headrest dimensions and we can determine the quantity together.
What material is the ratchet headrest mechanism made from?
It is made of steel with an electrostatic coating. We also manufacture in different sizes, materials and surface treatments.
What do six positions give in practice?
The headrest can be fine-tuned to the height and posture of whoever is sitting. Where a two- or three-position system has no "just a little more" setting, this one does.
