Power Back Door

Have you ever had to open the trunk of your car while carrying luggage in both hands (the type you can’t put down or the contents would spill on the ground)? Having a back door that opens with a foot movement is quite practical for those situations. What else is a Power Back Door good for? Here’s another situation a power back door is useful: opening your trunk in a parking building with low ceiling. The obstacle detection sensor stops the door opening before it hits the ceiling, so that scratches and damages are not added to your list of souvenirs after your holiday trip. AISIN supplies the full operating system of a powered back door: the ECU, the spindle(s) power unit, the locks & closer, the kick-sensor for hands-free opening, the sensor for anti-pinch or obstacle detection that stop the door movement when encoutering an obstacle to prevent injury and damage. The driving unit of this system is integrated in the spindle(s). Most systems use 2 spindles, but recent developments make it possible to achieve the same performance with one spindle containing the driving unit and mounted on one side of the car body. A second spindle (also called balancer) could be added for stability in case of larger vehicles.
