Question 1

1. What is an Automatic Industrial Shutter Side Motor?

Accepted Answer

An Automatic Industrial Shutter Side Motor is an electric drive motor mounted on the side of a rolling shutter door for automatic opening and closing. It's an external side-mounted type (also called a chain motor), ideal for heavy-duty, large-scale industrial rolling doors in factories, warehouses, supermarkets, garages, etc. Unlike built-in tubular motors, it offers higher power, greater torque, and handles heavier doors.

Question 2

2. What's the difference between a Side Motor and a Tubular Motor?

Accepted Answer

A Side Motor is externally mounted on the door side, suitable for heavy industrial doors (300kg+), with easy maintenance, high torque, and ideal for high-frequency use. A Tubular Motor is built into the roller tube, compact and quieter, mainly for residential or light commercial doors. For heavy or large industrial rolling shutters, Side Motors are recommended due to better load capacity and heat dissipation.

Question 3

3. How much weight can a Side Motor handle? How do I select the right model?

Accepted Answer

Common models support 300kg, 600kg, 800kg up to 1000kg, 1500kg, or 2000kg (and higher). Selection depends on actual door weight, width, height, usage frequency, and roller tube diameter—always include a safety margin. Provide door specs to suppliers for precise matching to avoid overload or inefficiency.

Question 4

4. What are the power requirements for a Side Motor?

Accepted Answer

Most industrial side motors use AC 220V single-phase (smaller models) or 380V three-phase (larger heavy-duty ones). Some support DC or UPS battery backup. Confirm site power type and capacity before installation, and have a professional electrician wire it.

Question 5

5. Does the Side Motor support remote control? How does it operate?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Most come with remotes, wall switches, and upgradable smart controls (APP, timers, linkages). They also include manual chain/crank for power outages. Operation is simple: one-button up/down with adjustable upper/lower limits.
