For existing chain-operated blinds there is also a chain drive motor (AM43).

Values from A-OK's load table for a straight track with a two-panel curtain:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Actuator<\/th><th>4 m track<\/th><th>8 m track<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>1 motor, 1.2 Nm<\/td><td>48 kg<\/td><td>44 kg<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>1 motor, 1.5 Nm<\/td><td>60 kg<\/td><td>55 kg<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>1 motor, 2 Nm<\/td><td>90 kg<\/td><td>82.5 kg<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2 motors, 2 Nm, 12 m track<\/td><td colspan=\"2\">135 kg<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With bends and single-panel curtains the load capacity drops considerably, by about a quarter for a 90\u00b0 bend. Curtain weight = fabric weight per m\u00b2 \u00d7 area \u00d7 fullness factor. The curtain motors run on 100\u2013240 V or battery, travel at 12 to 14 cm\/s, stop at obstacles, start with a gentle pull on the curtain (touch-to-go) and learn their end positions automatically. Control via 433 MHz radio, app, voice control, push button, dry contact or RS485.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What we need to make a selection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Roller blind: width, height, fabric type and tube diameter<\/li><li>Curtain: track length, track shape (straight, curved) and fabric weight<\/li><li>Power supply: battery, solar or 230 V<\/li><li>Control: handheld transmitter, wall switch, app or building control<\/li><li>Number of windows in the building<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Safety and connection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Battery motors need no electrical installation and are ideal for retrofitting. 230 V motors are connected by a qualified electrician. For blinds with chains or cords in rooms used by children, a motor also improves safety because no operating cord hangs loose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How long does a roller blind motor battery last?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It depends on blind size and use. For the AM45 with 5200 mAh, A-OK states about 6 months at one up and down per day. The smaller battery motors are charged via USB-C, and the blind signals a low battery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I motorise an existing roller blind?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Usually yes. The tubular motor replaces the chain mechanism in the tube. For chain blinds where the tube should not be replaced, there is a chain drive motor that drives the existing chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can the motors be integrated into a smart home?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, depending on the model via 433 MHz radio, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee or Matter, partly via an A-OK hub. Some 230 V models also have RS485 or dry contact for building control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much does a roller blind or curtain motor cost?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With us, a battery roller blind motor costs from \u20ac99 net (\u20ac118 incl. VAT), a curtain motor from \u20ac235 net. For screens and small roller blinds with a 40 mm shaft, the AM35 from \u20ac69 net is also suitable. The price depends on motor, power supply and control (radio, Zigbee, Matter, Wi-Fi).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Motor<\/th><th>Version<\/th><th>net<\/th><th>incl. 19% VAT<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><a href=\"\/en\/product\/a-ok-am25-battery-blind-motor\/\">A-OK AM25 battery roller blind motor<\/a><\/td><td>1\/1.8 Nm, battery, radio, optional Zigbee\/Matter\/Bluetooth<\/td><td>99\u2013120 \u20ac<\/td><td>118\u2013143 \u20ac<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a href=\"\/en\/product\/a-ok-am50-curtain-motor\/\">A-OK AM50 curtain motor<\/a><\/td><td>1.2 Nm, radio, optional Zigbee\/Wi-Fi<\/td><td>235\u2013245 \u20ac<\/td><td>280\u2013292 \u20ac<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a href=\"\/en\/product\/a-ok-am35-tubular-motor\/\">A-OK AM35 tubular motor<\/a><\/td><td>35 mm, 6\/10 Nm, for screens and roller blinds<\/td><td>69\u2013112 \u20ac<\/td><td>82\u2013133 \u20ac<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Prices in the Vent Systems shop as of October 2026, plus shipping.
