Rack and pinion drives for large window areas with long stroke

In rack and pinion drives, a pinion engages with a rack and moves the sash along a long stroke. This makes them the first choice for large and heavy windows, skylights, flaps, and facade openings where a long opening stroke is required – for example, in halls and industrial buildings. The VS-ZA 800 delivers 800 N of thrust; the price includes the standard mounting bracket set.

The VS-ZA-i is the smart version with synchronization function, bus integration and weather protection. It can be integrated into building management systems and is suitable for systems where several drives need to operate synchronously.

All rack and pinion drives are CE-certified, suitable for ventilation and smoke and heat exhaust ventilation systems (SHEVS), and available from our Hamburg warehouse. We would be happy to discuss which variant best suits your building in a free consultation – including the appropriate control unit, rain sensors, and ventilation buttons from our accessories range. We also support you from planning to delivery, even for unusual installation situations.
