Hey there! As a supplier of 35mm Standard Tubular Motors, I often get asked if these motors can be used for roman blinds. So, I thought I'd write this blog to share my insights on this topic.
First off, let's talk a bit about what a 35mm Standard Tubular Motor is. It's a type of motor that's commonly used in window coverings. The 35mm refers to the diameter of the motor tube. These motors are known for their reliability, efficiency, and relatively compact size. They're designed to fit into a tubular housing, which can be easily installed inside the headrail of various window treatments.
Now, let's get to the main question: Can a 35mm Standard Tubular Motor be used for roman blinds? The short answer is yes, in many cases, it can. Roman blinds are a popular choice for window coverings because they offer a clean, modern look and can be adjusted to let in just the right amount of light. They work by stacking the fabric in horizontal folds when they're raised, and unstacking it when they're lowered.
One of the key factors to consider when using a 35mm Standard Tubular Motor for roman blinds is the weight of the blinds. Roman blinds can vary in weight depending on the fabric, the size of the window, and the number of folds. A 35mm motor typically has a certain weight capacity. If your roman blinds are on the lighter side, say made of a thin cotton or polyester fabric, and they're not covering a very large window, then a 35mm motor should be able to handle the job just fine.
Another important aspect is the lifting mechanism. Roman blinds usually have a cord or chain system that's used to raise and lower them. When using a tubular motor, this manual system needs to be replaced with a motorized one. The 35mm motor can be connected to the blinds in such a way that it can control the movement of the fabric. Most 35mm motors come with a set of gears and a drive shaft that can be attached to the headrail of the roman blinds. This allows the motor to rotate the shaft, which in turn raises or lowers the blinds.
However, there are some situations where a 35mm Standard Tubular Motor might not be the best choice for roman blinds. If your roman blinds are very heavy, for example, if they're made of a thick, heavy - duty fabric like velvet or if they're covering a large, floor - to - ceiling window, then a more powerful motor might be required. In such cases, you might want to consider looking at our 92mm Fast Speed Tubular Motor. This motor has a larger diameter and a higher weight capacity, making it better suited for heavier blinds.
Also, if you're looking for a motor with a built - in receiver for remote control operation, our 45mm Receiver - in Tubular Motor could be a great option. It combines the functionality of a receiver with a tubular motor, allowing you to control your roman blinds from a distance.
Another alternative is our 59mm Fast Speed Tubular Motor. This motor offers a good balance between power and size. It can handle medium - to - heavy - weight roman blinds and has a relatively fast operating speed.
When it comes to installation, using a 35mm Standard Tubular Motor for roman blinds is usually a straightforward process. But it's always a good idea to follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully. Make sure the motor is properly aligned with the headrail of the blinds and that all the connections are secure. If you're not confident in your DIY skills, it's recommended to hire a professional installer.
In terms of maintenance, 35mm Standard Tubular Motors are generally low - maintenance. They're designed to be durable and long - lasting. However, it's a good idea to check the motor periodically for any signs of wear and tear, such as loose connections or unusual noises. Lubricating the moving parts according to the manufacturer's recommendations can also help extend the life of the motor.
To sum it up, a 35mm Standard Tubular Motor can be a great choice for many roman blinds, especially those that are lightweight to medium - weight. But depending on your specific needs, such as the weight of the blinds, the desired operating speed, and the need for remote control, you might want to explore other options from our product range.
