A vehicle seat height adjuster is configured to allow for a vertically oriented motor and spindle system. A ring-shaped lift plate allows the motor and spindles to pass through the lift plate, thereby allowing the lift plate to travel closer to the vehicle floor while eliminating the need for levered mechanical armature systems and complex transmission systems that convert motor rotation about a horizontal axis to vertical seat movement. The vehicle seat adjuster also offers pure vertical movement in the direction of the motor axis and has a relatively small footprint due in part to most of the components being located within a perimeter of the lift plate when retracted.
