Motor solutions for every awning and roller shutter

From simple motors to advanced SMI tube motors

From simple entry-level models to advanced solutions such as SMI tube motors, Becker Benelux offers a suitable motor solution for every situation. Philippe Goossens of Becker Benelux says, "With our 'Made in Germany' products, we deliver on the promise of German quality and reliability for blinds and shutters."

Becker Benelux's product range caters to a variety of applications and budgets, from simple motors with rotary switches, popular for dormer windows, for example, to the most advanced SMI tube motors. "With our motors, we can meet the needs of almost any customer," Goossens said.

Innovation in simple solutions

Standard motors, often equipped with a rotary switch, remain a popular product, according to Goossens. "Especially in situations where an affordable and easy-to-operate motor is desired, such as shutters for smaller homes or dormers, this category of motors offers an excellent choice. These motors offer a combination of reliability and innovative features. For example, electronic limit switches ensure that the motor automatically stops when the roller shutter or awning reaches the desired position, which prevents wear and tear and preserves the material."

Some key advantages of these engines are:

• Block recognition with multiple tests;
• Sensitive obstacle recognition;
• Automatic cloth length compensation;
• Possibility of parallel switching, ideal for larger installations.

"These features not only contribute to a longer service life of the motors, but also ensure greater user-friendliness. Thanks to the advanced technologies, the motors are also energy-efficient, which contributes to the sustainability of the overall system."

The power of SMI tube motors.

For larger projects, such as commercial buildings or smart homes, Becker's SMI tube motors are a good solution. SMI stands for "Standard Motor Interface," and these motors integrate perfectly into a KNX environment, the worldwide standard for building automation. This makes SMI tube motors suitable for project-based applications, where automation and energy efficiency are important.

Major advantages when using SMI motors:

• These motors can be placed in parallel up to a maximum of 16 on an SMI actuator, requiring much less cabling;
• The information is given from the motor itself and not via a KNX module with standard motor, resulting in a correct and reliable information display;
• A detailed overview of the motors installed in the various applications.

In addition, these engines offer numerous advanced features, such as:

• Accurate status notifications;
• Automatic fabric compensation;
• Sensitive obstacle recognition;
• Block Recognition.

Ease of installation is another plus of SMI tube motors. The motors are easy to assemble and set up, saving installers time and effort. With automatic end position corrections and the ability to change settings quickly and without additional equipment, shading specialists can work efficiently.

At Becker Benelux, Goossens says durability and innovation are paramount. "All motors, from the simplest entry-level motors to the most advanced SMI tube motors, are designed to last a long time and operate reliably, 365 days a year." He concludes, "Customers choose us because of the reliability and innovative power our products offer. Whether it's a small project or a large utility building, we always have the right motor."
