Motorising an insect screen blind: battery motor instead of manual operation

Updated: 07.11.2026

In brief: An insect screen blind can be motorised with a slim battery tubular motor. The motor sits in the roller tube, is charged via USB-C or solar panel and operated by radio – without cables and without an electrician.

Requirements

• Blind cassette with space for a 25 mm motor
• Roller tube that fits motor and adapters
• light fabric – 1 Nm is enough for most insect screen blinds

Suitable motor

The A-OK AM25 (1/1.8 Nm, 25 mm, IP44) is suitable for insect screen blinds according to the manufacturer. Optional with Bluetooth, Zigbee or Matter. More on charging and running time: Battery roller blind motor.

Advantages

• Blind moves at the push of a button, even on hard-to-reach windows
• Timer control, e.g. close in the evening
• no cables through wall or frame
