The 24V DC Tubular Motor: Quiet Power & Unmatched Versatility

We’re proud to unveil our brand-new line of 24V DC tubular motors, alongside significant advancements to our Li-ion tubular motor options. These updates represent a leap forward in power, silence, and integration capabilities:

  • The All-New 24V DC Tubular Motor: Designed from the ground up, our 24V DC tubular motor delivers exceptionally quiet yet robust performance, making it the ideal choice for noise-sensitive environments. Its versatility extends to its comprehensive control options, including:
    • Multiple Control Protocols: Seamless integration via radio frequency, contact closure, Zigbee, local control (standalone or fully integratable with building management systems), remote control, wall switches, and a wide range of third-party automation systems.
    • Multiple Power Options: Offering a range of torque options all the way up to a powerful 6Nm, our motors can effortlessly handle even larger and heavier shades – outperforming most competitors.
    • Expanded Application Range: The newly optimized design allows for application in narrower shade options, providing greater flexibility for diverse window sizes.
    • Flexible Power:  Choose between a local power supply or direct hardwiring to a power distribution panel with a convenient quick-connect lead for both options.
    • Full BTX Ecosystem Compatibility: Engineered for seamless integration with both existing and the latest BTX control systems.
    • Enhanced Smart Home Integration: Fully integrated with the Bond Bridge Pro, unlocking advanced smart home control and voice assistant capabilities.
  • Enhanced Li-ion Tubular Motors: Our popular Li-ion tubular motors now boast an impressive cycle life, achieving over 500+ cycles on a single charge, and are available in robust torque options to handle a variety of shade sizes. These motors retain their quiet operation and easy integration capabilities.

Redefining Drapery Automation: The Next-Generation 24V Drapery Motor

We’ve completely reimagined our 24V drapery motor, building on more than 15 years of success with our existing motor line features for even smoother, safer, and more intuitive operation:

  • Intelligent Auto-Calibration: Say goodbye to complex setup procedures. The new drapery motor features intelligent autocalibration, simplifying the installation process and ensuring precise operation from the start.
  • Precise Limit Setting: Setting the open and intermediate, or “favorite”, position limits in the stack direction is now easier and more accurate than ever before, providing customized control over drapery positioning.
  • Innovative Touch Control: Safety and ease of use are paramount. The enhanced touch control feature allows for safe operation – the motor will initiate movement when someone gently pulls on the curtain, providing intuitive manual override.
  • Operable Without Power: In the event of a power outage, the drapery motor can still be manually operated, ensuring continued functionality.
  • Compact Yet Powerful Design: Maintaining the same robust power, the new drapery motor features a more compact design, allowing for discreet integration into various drapery hardware styles.
  • Quiet Performance: Engineered for silent operation, this drapery motor ensures a peaceful and undisturbed environment.
  • Slow-Start Slow-Stop Functionality: This intelligent feature prevents the drapery from excessive swaying as it begins and comes to a complete stop, ensuring smooth and graceful operation. 
  • Comprehensive Control Options: Similar to our updated tubular motors, the new drapery motor offers versatile control options, including Radio frequency, contact closure, Zigbee, local control (standalone or fully integratable), remote control, wall switches, and seamless third-party integration.
  • Full BTX Ecosystem Compatibility: Designed for seamless integration with both existing and the latest BTX control systems.
  • Enhanced Smart Home Integration: Fully integrated with the Bond Bridge Pro, providing comprehensive smart home control and voice assistant capabilities.
