A back-drive speed control system for incorporation into an actuated vehicle seating system includes an actuator having a permanent magnet and a coil that can move relative to each other to create a voltage across a first terminal and a second terminal. The actuator is adapted to move a linkage in an actuated vehicle seating system. A biasing member moves one or both of the permanent magnet and the coil such that the first terminal has a positive potential relative to the second terminal. The back-drive speed control system further includes a first diode and a Zener diode in series connected across the first terminal and the second terminal such that the forward current direction of the first diode is oriented in the opposite direction to the forward current direction of the Zener diode.

A vehicle seatback folding device includes: a cushion bracket; a back side frame rotating on the cushion bracket; a spring mounting bracket coupled to rotate integrally with the back side frame around a hinge-coupling part; a return spring for applying, to the back side frame, elastic restoring force for rotating the back side frame in the folding direction of a seatback; and a reverse spring supported in a state in which a first end portion is caught by the spring mounting bracket and a second end portion is caught by a first spring support end.

A recliner system includes a plate, a spring, an inner support, and an outer support. The plate has a protrusion. The protrusion defines a bore. The coil body is positioned along and around an exterior surface of the protrusion. The inner support is at least partially positioned within the bore. The inner support includes protrusions extending outside of the bore and along an exterior of the spring. Each of the protrusions is configured to selectively engage with a respective leg of the spring. The outer housing is disposed around the protrusions of the inner housing and the spring. The outer housing defines cavities with a notch positioned therebetween. The cavities extend around the legs. The notch is configured to selectively engage with the legs of the spring. The inner support and the outer housing engage with the plate on the same side of the plate.
