Calculating the right Torque(NM) motor
Motor Lifting Capacity Of Motors(Kg) = 2 x NM of Motor for shutters up to 2 meters high. Shutters between 2 – 3 meters in height, expect a 20% loss in Lifting Capacity.
For example 10 NM motor will lift 20 Kg to 2 meters high roller shutter and shutters between 2-3 meters high, lifting Capacity of the motor will be reduced to 16 Kg.
- Residential window roller shutters weigh 4 kg/square meter.
- Bush-fire BAL40(Extruded) roller shutters weigh 8 kg/square meter.
- Hurricane window roller shutters weigh 6 kg/square meter.
- Clear-view roller shutters weigh 6 kg/square meter.
Based on the above information, select the right Torque(NM) of the motor. If the motor chosen has less torque than required, it will significantly reduce it’s longevity and performance.
