TUBE MOTORS
Tubular motors were originally designed to automate small blinds and shutters. The largest markets being France, Italy and Germany where shutters and blinds are incorporated into the design of Domestic and Commercial buildings. In Great Britain, tubular motors have gained in popularity with the requirement for increased security for Retail and Office premises.

The tubular motor provides an unobtrusive means of automating Shopfront Shutters and Grilles.

Tube motors are by their design limited in their duty i.e the number of repeated operations that can be performed.

Typical number of operations would be 4-6 dependant on the application, therefore the tube motors are ideal for situations where the shutter must be opened in the morning and closed in the evening.

In an effort to assist in the selection for your application we have produced the selection chart.

Initially it is necessary to establish the weight of the curtain, and the tube which is to be used.

Given this information the tubular motor can be selected.
