In brief: The VS-ZA 800 rack-and-pinion actuator delivers 800 N push and pull force with a stroke of 100 to 800 mm. With its stainless steel rack and IP65 protection, it is suitable for large bottom-hung, top-hung and side-hung sashes, centre-pivot sashes and rooflights, including outdoors. It is mounted visibly on the frame, and the standard bracket set is included in the price.
The VS-ZA 800 rack-and-pinion drive is the power pack for the hard assignments!
The VS-ZA series rack and pinion drives are the robust and powerful solution when high forces combined with a durable design are required. They are visibly mounted on the frame or casing and are ideally suited for large tilt, turn, and casement windows, pivot windows, skylights, and other demanding applications. Smoke and heat exhaust ventilation (SHEV) and ventilation applications indoors and outdoors.
Thanks to its well-thought-out design, they can withstand extreme loads without any problems:
Technical highlights of the VS-ZA 800 rack and pinion drive
Configurable directly via the selection bar:
Push and pull force: 800 N (also in case of very heavy and large wings)
Stroke of 100 mm to 800 mm (continuously adjustable)
Heavy-duty, precision machined rack made of stainless steel – extremely sturdy and wear-resistant
Very high closing force with soft end-position cut-off
IP65 rating – completely dust-tight and protected against water jets from all directions.
Simply select the desired stroke (100–800 mm) from the selection bar and instantly configure the matching force package. 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.
Which actuator for which window size?
Guide values for insulating glass (2 × 4 mm), bottom-hung windows and fanlights with 300 mm stroke, roof windows with 30° pitch, including 1.5× reserve. Snow load is not included. Calculate precisely with the Window actuator calculator.

Frequently asked questions
Will the VS-ZA 800 fit my window?
That depends on the window type, sash weight, desired opening width and the space on the frame profile. Determine the required force with the Window actuator calculator. If you are unsure, send us a photo of the window – we will check free of charge whether the VS-ZA 800 fits.
How strong is the VS-ZA 800 rack-and-pinion actuator?
The VS-ZA 800 has 800 N push and pull force and a very high closing force with soft end-position cut-off – even with very heavy and large sashes.
Is the VS-ZA 800 suitable for outdoor use?
Yes. With protection class IP65 it is dust-tight and protected against water jets. The precision-milled stainless steel rack is particularly stable and wear-resistant.
How is the VS-ZA 800 mounted?
The rack-and-pinion actuator is mounted visibly on the sash frame or outer frame. It is suitable for large tilt, top-hung and side-hung sashes, pivot sashes and rooflights.

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
