Office Chair Motor

Admin October 08, 2026

Office chair motors are mainly divided into two categories: massage chair motors and push-rod motors, with differences in function, structure, and price.

Office Massage Chair Motors

Office massage chair motors are the core components that drive massage chairs to achieve functions such as lifting, tilting, or massaging. Common types include:

  1. Micro Brushless Gear Motors: These employ a 32mm planetary gear reduction structure, with built-in magnetic encoders and drive modules, operating at 24V DC. These motors are compact, run smoothly, and are suitable for scenarios requiring precise position control, such as adjusting local massage movements on massage chairs, priced at approximately 40.50 yuan.
  2. Worm Gear Reduction Motors: These achieve speed reduction and torque increase through a worm gear structure, commonly used for lifting functions in lifting tables, coffee tables, or massage chairs. They have a simple structure and low cost but are slightly less efficient than planetary gear motors, priced at approximately 50.00 yuan.
  3. Permanent Magnet DC Motors: These use permanent magnets to provide a magnetic field, combined with brushed or brushless designs, offering high speed and low noise. They are suitable for rapid lifting needs in home or commercial massage chairs, priced at approximately 35.00 yuan.
  4. Customized High-Power Motors: For example, a 200W worm gear motor supports 24V DC power supply and can be customized with parameters according to the needs of automation equipment, suitable for high-end massage chairs or industrial scenarios, with a higher price of approximately 135.00 yuan.

Office Chair Push-Rod Motors

Push-rod motors achieve lifting, tilting, or telescoping functions in office chairs through linear motion. Common types include:

  1. Brushed DC Electric Push Rods: For example, the GWDU1-300 model, with built-in self-locking functionality, can keep the push rod stationary at any position, suitable for smart office chairs requiring stable support, priced at approximately 1200.00 yuan (bulk purchase).
  2. Brushless Motor Push Rods: For example, products from the Leike NAKIN brand, featuring a compact design but strong load-bearing capacity, suitable for massage chair lifts or hidden beds, priced at approximately 690.00 yuan (single-piece purchase).
  3. Micro Electric Push Rods: The Beili series push rods produced by manufacturers in Wenzhou, priced at approximately 65.00 yuan (bulk purchase), are suitable for lifting adjustments in smart homes or economical office chairs.

Purchase Recommendations: If precise control or low noise is required, brushless gear motors are preferred; if high load-bearing capacity or linear motion is needed, push-rod motors are more suitable. Bulk purchases can significantly reduce costs, but attention should be paid to the compatibility between the motor and the office chair structure.
