How do I choose the right tubular motor?

To choose the right tubular motor are some points to consider.

We describe the most important ones.

Shaft diameter:

Our Superrollo tubular motors are available for two shaft sizes.

40 octagonal steel shaft = motors with the designation RMxxMSx(the S stands for small)

60 octagonal steel shaft = motors with the designation RMxxMMx(the M here stands for medium).

Control by switch/timer or radio

Switch/timer control = motors with the designation RMxxMx

Radio = motors with the designation RMxxMxB( the B stands for bidirectional radio)

Power

Select the appropriate power by measuring the shutter area. For the calculations we assume a PVC or aluminum roller shutter with a profile weight of approx. 4.5kg/m².

up to 3,5m² = 10Nm

up to 6,5m² = 20Nm

up to 10m² = 30Nm
