Concealed Motor for Schüco Suncontrol Solar Shading System

An operating motor that is entirely concealed from view is the latest innovation in Schüco's SunControl Active range of movable large-louvre shading systems.

Designed to enhance the aesthetic appeal of the external louvres - which are fitted to improve the environmental performance of a building - the new motor is small enough to be housed in the SunControl support mullion.

Besides its compact size, the concealed motor has the added advantage of being more powerful than previous models, meaning that the number of motors per louvre - and therefore the installed cost - can be significantly reduced. A single motor can control a louvre up to 305mm deep and with a span of over 4.4m horizontally or over 5m vertically.

Another benefit is that the motor operates a gear system, so giving the louvre the ability to rotate through 360 degrees irrespective of whether it is mounted in the horizontal or vertical plane.

The new motor can be linked to sensor-reactive motor controls that alter the angle of the blades in response to a variety of external factors such as brightness, wind speeds and even ice build-up. Incorporated into an integrated building management programme, such a system can contribute significantly to the comfort of occupants and the energy efficiency of a building.
