The VS-LA achieves IP65, the VS-KA 2500 chain drive even IP66. This is an advantage especially for skylights and roof windows, where condensation and moisture occur.<\/p>\n<h2>What to consider when replacing a drive<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Force:<\/strong> The new drive should have at least the force of the old drive. If in doubt, choose the next higher level.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stroke:<\/strong> Keep the stroke of the old drive. It is usually stated on the type plate.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Voltage:<\/strong> Connect 24 V drives only to 24 V control units or SHEV control panels, and 230 V drives only to 230 V.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Speed for SHEV:<\/strong> As a rule, SHEV windows must be fully open within 60 seconds. For long strokes, check whether the running speed is sufficient.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Zugelassene NRWG:<\/strong> Bei zugelassenen nat\u00fcrlichen Rauch- und W\u00e4rmeabzugsger\u00e4ten (NRWG nach EN 12101-2) kann ein Antriebstausch die Zulassung aufheben. Tausch nur nach R\u00fccksprache mit dem Fensterhersteller oder einem Sachkundigen.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Brackets and installation dimensions:<\/strong> The original manufacturers' brackets do not fit 1:1. Use Vent Systems brackets and check the installation dimensions using our data sheet (downloads on the product page).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Control:<\/strong> Before the replacement, check whether the existing control unit or SHEV control panel can handle the current consumption of the new drive.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Is there a replacement for the STG-Beikirch M9?<\/h2>\n<p>Yes. For the M9 with 500, 650 or 1000 N, the VS-LA with 600, 800 or 1000 N is suitable.<\/p>\n<h2>Download the replacement table as a PDF<\/h2>\n<p>All comparisons for GEZE, Aum\u00fcller, Kingspan STG, D+H, WindowMaster and HAUTAU on three pages \u2013 to print out or for the workshop: <a href=\"https:\/\/ventsystems.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Austauschtabelle-Fensterantriebe-Vent-Systems-10-2026.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>replacement table for window drives (PDF)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Not sure which drive fits?<\/h2>\n<p>Schicken Sie uns ein Foto des Typenschilds und des Fensters.
