In brief: The smart VS-KA-i chain actuator has a synchronisation function and a Modbus interface (24 V, A/B). It delivers 250 to 1,500 N with a stroke of 100 to 1,400 mm and is suitable for top-hung sashes, façade and roof windows, including with several actuators on one sash.
VS-KA-i smart chain drive at a glance
VS-KA-i smart chain drive: the ideal solution for standard applications in ventilation and facade systems. They combine a compact design with reliable performance and are perfectly suited for Up- and down-hung windows as well as roof windows. The actuators feature a synchronisation function, can be integrated into 24 V A/B Modbus communication interfaces and impress with quiet, low-maintenance and durable operation. The entire VS-KA-i series offers flexible solutions for almost every requirement: push and pull forces from 250 N to 1,500 N and variable chain lengths from 100 mm to 1,400 mm (infinitely adjustable depending on the model) can be freely selected in the selection bar. For use in smoke ventilation systems, the actuator, the window and an approved smoke control panel must be matched to one another and verified for each project – we will be happy to advise you.

Replacement for chain drives with long stroke: The VS-KA-i is suitable as an alternative to drives such as the GEZE Powerchain, the GEZE Slimchain with stroke over 450 mm or the Aumüller KS4. All manufacturers: Replacing window drives.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the VS-KA-i and the VS-KA?
The VS-KA-i additionally has a synchronisation function and a Modbus interface (24 V, A/B). This allows several actuators on one sash to run in sync, and the actuator can be integrated into control and bus systems.
What thrust and stroke does the VS-KA-i have?
The series delivers 250 to 1,500 N of push and pull force. You select the stroke length in the shop between 300 and 1,400 mm.
Is the VS-KA-i suitable for smoke ventilation systems?
For smoke ventilation, the actuator, window and an approved smoke control panel must be matched and verified for the specific project. We do not supply smoke control panels, but we are happy to advise you on sizing the actuator.
Product safety
Safety instructions
Carefully read all safety instructions, directions, illustrations and technical data supplied with this product. Failure to follow the operating instructions below can result in electric shock, fire, and serious injury. Keep all warnings and instructions for future reference.
Intended use
– Designed for opening and closing windows and ventilation louvres on building facades and roofs
– Operating voltage: 24 V DC (-15 %/+25 %)
– Suitable for smoke extraction and daily comfort ventilation
– Only for indoor installation
Scope of delivery
– Chain drive
– Various bracket components are available as optional accessories for specific window types.
Requirements for qualification of personnel
All installation, wiring, commissioning and maintenance work on window drives may only be carried out by trained and qualified personnel. Untrained personnel are strictly prohibited from entering the work area.
Pre-installation and Device selection
– Operate the window opener to check it for any transport damage
– Make sure that the load capacity of the selected model corresponds to the actual window weight and wind pressure, and thus, all of the operating requirements
– Check the stability of the window frame and hinges to make sure they can withstand the operating loads
– Always use original mounting brackets and fasteners. For aluminium window frames, rivets or
through-bolts are recommended;
self-tapping screws should be avoided
Requirements for electrical safety
– The power supply of the window actuator must ensure a stable operating voltage of 24 V DC (-15 %/+25%).
Voltage fluctuations outside this range can cause the device to malfunction or
damage the control board
– Use cables of sufficient cross-section in accordance with the technical standard to minimise voltage drop.
Intended use
– The control unit should have an automatic shut-off function that is activated as soon as the chain drive reaches its fully
open position. This interrupts the power supply at the end of the stroke
– Always disconnect the main power supply before cleaning, maintenance or troubleshooting
Safety precautions for installation
– Windows installed at a height of less than 2.5 metres must have reliable anti-trap protection. In
public areas, an infrared safety sensor should also be installed. For floor-level windows, safety ropes
and fall protection are required
– All automatic window drives must carry a clearly visible “Risk of trapping” warning label in a prominent position
– Keep the operating area of the window free of obstacles. Manual controls must be installed so that the
movement of the window can be observed directly
Maintenance and cleaning
– All maintenance work must be carried out with the device completely switched off.
– Power cables and guide rails should be inspected routinely at least once a year. If any
abnormalities are found, stop using the device immediately. Repairs may only be carried out by AF-certified technicians
using original parts. Unauthorised disassembly is strictly prohibited.
– Use a soft, dry cloth to remove any dust or dirt from the surface. Do not use
Cleaning agents or solvents
