This week, we’re taking a closer look at some of the Somfy motor options commonly used by MWT for motorization retrofit projects.
From 24V low-voltage DC to rechargeable WireFree motors and larger ST40 applications, the right motor depends on the treatment type, size, weight, tube selection, power availability, and control requirements.
This guide highlights applications for:
• Roller / Banded shades
• Roman / Woven wood shades
• Cellular shades
• Lift & Tilt wood and faux wood blinds
• Sheer shades
• TDBU options for select applications
We’re also highlighting Zigbee® technology, with benefits such as bi-directional communication, real-time shade status, and streamlined programming through connected ecosystem.
The size parameters shown are intended as a guide. Final motor selection and maximum treatment dimensions may vary depending on the specific product construction, tube selection, deflection, weight, and project requirements.
For rechargeable Li-ion retrofit applications, charging accessories are provided with each order, with additional cables and chargers available upon request.
