Application Area Ergonomics Home & Care

Manual or electric drive for ergonomics and comfort at home and in the care sector

Whether in the home office, in the workshop, in the living room or in the kitchen - there are tables and worktops everywhere in the house. For healthy and body-friendly work, the right height is crucial here. With a drive solution from Ketterer, a rigid work surface becomes an ergonomic work platform that can be flexibly adapted to your task and the user. Height, but also inclination and position can be adjusted easily and quietly - electrically using a hand switch or mechanically using a crank, according to personal preferences. Not only seniors and people with restricted mobility benefit from this flexibility. Groups of people who use work areas together also appreciate the ability to adjust work surfaces individually.

The intelligent kitchen of tomorrow

In the kitchen, an electric drive with worm gear ensures that the cooker hood extends and retracts. Cabinets and shelves can be adjusted and moved in all directions with a Ketterer spindle drive.

Handicapped accessible bathroom

In the bathroom there is a bathtub suitable for the disabled. An electric drive opens the side entry. Thanks to a drive solution from Ketterer, the sink and toilet can be electrically adjusted in height, which is a huge relief, especially for people with limited mobility.

In the living room, a compact lift unit brings out the hidden television, while a motor drive and a spindle unit bring the head and leg rests of the television chair into the correct position and tilt the backrest.

The "feel-good bed" is already waiting in the bedroom. An electric drive ensures a relaxed posture in the area of the backrest and legrest of the slatted frame.

An electric drive from Ketterer can also help to make life a little more ergonomic outside of your own four walls. Deflection gears and motor drives are installed in wheelchairs, which help to adjust the height of the seat and bring the leg and back rests into the desired position.

In a Segway operated while seated, an electric drive ensures that the parking supports, in which a Ketterer worm gear is installed, are retracted and extended. This guarantees easy and safe parking.

BLDC wheel hub drives from Ketterer move e-scooters, electric wheelchairs and other electric light vehicles without disturbing vibrations and noises.

The standardized components and drives from Ketterer can be combined to form a complex, individual drive solution. This creates new products for the “Home & Care” application area without having to reinvent the wheel every time. Even in the event of deviations from the tried and tested standard, the designer will always find an open ear for his concerns among the specialists in the family-run company Ketterer.
