Seat Belt Pretensioner and Load Limiter Market

Global Seat belt pretensioner and load limiter Market Introduction

Over the years, with the growing concern for safety, seat belts have been proved a highly effective safety technology and have saved countless lives from vehicle collision over the years. Pretensioners and load limiters are the technologies designed to make the seat belts more effective. In case of abrupt acceleration or deceleration, the seat belt pretensioner and load limiter hold the passenger or the driver firmly to the seat especially during the start and end of collision.

Seat belt pretensioner and load limiter is majorly helpful for the front or head on collision. It holds the passenger firmly to the seat and then allows the driver to come in contact with inflated air bag in a controlled way. The seat belt pretensioner are also known by alternate names such as seat belt tensioner. Modern vehicles are being equipped with seat belts pretensioner along with load limiters. The load limiters comes in action when there has been an excessive pressure on the seat belt and it breaks the contact to prevent chest injury.

Load limiters are made to protect the passengers from the injury caused due to seat belts. The seat belt pretensioner and load limiter restraints the occupant until certain amount of force is applied. The seat belt Pretensioners and load limiters are used in combination with airbags and are mostly activated when the air bags are activated. The seat belt pretensioner and load limiter is usually located in the B-pillar. The seat belt pretensioner and load limiter system is timed in such a way that the when the airbag has completely deployed then only the seat belt pretensioner will allow the occupant to have frontal movement.
