Roller Shutter Motor Procurement FAQ
How do I select torque?
Calculate from shutter weight, tube radius, friction and safety margin, then confirm with Walter before order.
What motor size is suitable for my shutter?
35mm may suit light shutters, 45mm fits many standard shutters, and 59mm is used for heavy-duty systems.
Should I choose mechanical or electronic limit?
Mechanical limit is practical for simple reliable systems. Electronic limit is used where the project requires electronic setting or control logic.
Do I need manual override?
Use manual override when the shutter must be operated during power failure and crank access is available.
Can Walter supply OEM roller shutter motors?
Yes. Walter can support OEM labels, packaging, accessories, samples and model selection.
Which data should I send for quotation?
Send shutter size, weight, tube, voltage, control method, quantity, market and accessory requirement.
Need confirmed motor selection?
Send application, tube size, load, voltage, control method, quantity and target market. Walter Motor can check the motor family, accessories and OEM configuration before sample or batch order.
