Roller Shutter Motors

The type of roller shutter motors used on new roller shutter doors depends on how much use the door will get.

The cheapest roller shutter motors are 240v tube motors. You could probably get a fire shutter motor for even less; however, if time is important to you, you might want to reconsider that. As fire shutter motors operate very slowly.

Tube motors can be used around 10 times a day. But anything over that, or if you need to operate the door several times within a few minutes, it may overheat. If you think those two scenarios may be necessary, then a more heavy-duty 3-phase motor will be required.

Standard 3-phase motors also have their own capacity, albeit much larger than a tube motor. If you operate your door excessively throughout the day, a speed door is recommended.

When a customer asks us for a roller shutter quote, we usually ask how many times a day the door will be used.  There is a very good reason for this question, and it depends on the type of roller shutter motors we will quote for.
