High performance tubular motors for roller shutters WALTER
At WALTER, we specialize in providing high-quality tubular motors for a wide range of automation applications, including roller shutters, blinds, awnings, and gates. Our motors are engineered for durability, reliability, and efficiency, making them an excellent choice for both residential and commercial uses. In this article, we explain what tubular motors are, how they work, and why they are the ideal solution for modern automation systems.
How Do Tubular Motors Work?
A tubular motor is an electric motor designed to be installed inside a cylindrical tube, which is typically the same tube around which a roller shutter or blind is rolled. The motor’s function is simple: it converts electrical energy into mechanical energy, which moves the connected roller or shutter system. As the motor turns, it winds or unwinds the fabric or material, allowing the shutter or blind to open or close.
At WALTER, we offer a wide range of tubular motors with varying torque, speed, and control options, ensuring that we have the perfect solution for every application. Whether you’re automating your home or equipping a large commercial building, WALTER tubular motors provide seamless, efficient, and quiet operation.
Structure
Tubular Motor Structure
A tubular motor consists of several critical components that work together to ensure optimal performance. Here’s a breakdown of each part of the motor:
- Limit Switches
Description: Limit switches are used to determine when the motor should stop, preventing over-rotation. These mechanical or electronic switches ensure the roller shutter or blind reaches its fully open or closed position without causing any damage to the system or the motor itself. - Capacitor
Description: The capacitor plays an essential role in the motor’s starting process. It stores electrical energy and releases it to help start the motor smoothly. By improving the initial power-up, the capacitor enhances the motor’s efficiency and reduces energy loss during operation. - Electric Motor
Description: The electric motor is the heart of the tubular motor. It converts electrical energy into mechanical energy, generating the power needed to drive the motor shaft. The rotation of this shaft is what causes the connected roller to move, operating the shutter or blind. - Brake
Description: The brake ensures that the roller shutter or blind remains stationary when not in use. It prevents unwanted movement due to gravity or external forces, helping to keep the system in place even when the motor is turned off. - Gearbox
Description: The gearbox is responsible for controlling the speed and torque of the motor. It reduces the motor’s output speed and increases the torque, allowing the motor to easily handle larger, heavier loads like larger roller shutters or heavy blinds.
Motor Types Available at WALTER
At WALTER, we offer a wide selection of tubular motors tailored to different applications. Here are the motor types you can choose from:
- Standard Motors
These motors are ideal for basic roller shutters and blinds, providing reliable performance and quiet operation. - Battery-Powered Tubular Motors
Perfect for areas where power sources are not easily accessible, these motors run on rechargeable batteries and provide the same performance as standard models. - Smart Motors
WALTER’s smart tubular motors can be integrated with home automation systems. Control your roller shutters, blinds, or other systems remotely via apps, voice assistants (like Alexa and Google Assistant), or through automated schedules. - Electronic Limit Switch Motor
Description: These motors are equipped with electronic limit switches that automatically stop the motor when the shutter or blind reaches the desired position, ensuring precise control and reducing the risk of overrun or damage. - Built-In Receiver Motor
Description: A built-in receiver motor comes with an integrated receiver that allows for remote control or integration into a smart home system without the need for additional receivers or modules. This simplifies installation and enhances convenience. - Manual Override Motor
Description: Manual override motors allow you to operate the shutter or blind manually in case of power failure or system malfunction. This ensures that your system remains functional even in emergencies. - Super Short Motor
Description: These motors are designed for applications where space is extremely limited. The super short motor offers the same powerful performance as standard tubular motors but in a more compact form factor, perfect for tight spaces.
