For other applications, here's our standard chain series 12 volt electric window opener for controlling vents, windows, skylights, shutters and any other item you would like to move with a motorized actuator.

As we mentioned earlier, electric window openers can be programmed to respond to certain triggers. Some of the most common triggers include the time of day, when the windows will open in the morning and close at night, for example, or the temperature when they close when it’s cold and open when it’s hot. Pollution in the air can damage our lungs and airways without us even realizing it. This can lead to health complications later in life, and experts predict the problem could be far greater than we realise. Pollution detectors can be used to measure air quality and can give owners of commercial buildings an idea of what steps they need to take as they move forward. Let’s find out more. How do Pollution Detectors Work?There are an increasing number of window actuators on the market of wildly varying quality and capability. Please keep in mind you can also use them with our interfacing modules, which further extends control to your phone, tablet, laptop or any other web enabled device (whether at home or away). Here at Rocburn we provide a wide range of products and solutions for both homes and businesses of varying types, scale and complexity, including;

You may have spent a good deal of time selecting an appropriate curtain wall or window system and designing it into the fenestration of the building, which now has the dynamic and crisp lines you desire. When creating the specification, any expectations you have for the benefit of the project and client should be made explicit. Decide which of the following points are important for the project and your client:It is important to get confirmation of this if more window actuators are required because this not only impacts on actuator costs but also on associated power supplies and wiring. If in doubt, consulting WindowMaster or fabricators early on may prove worthwhile. If vents are at high level, just preparing the mullions to allow cables to be pulled through allows cables to be hidden on top of the transom thus limiting their appearance on the face of the façade or windows. Alternatively, a matching cover profile might be an option. Again, this is often overlooked during the specification and tender process but a little thought in the specification, and preparation in the factory, can reduce cost and improve aesthetics later.

Window actuators and their associated controls can form a critical element of modern building services. They make a significant contribution to the success – or failure – of a building’s internal environment and energy performance. The MotorLink® actuator will detect if an object becomes trapped in the leading edge of the window and prevent it from closing by monitoring the amount of current being drawn and then reversing the actuator to release the obstruction.Calculate the geometric free area just using the rectangle or throat at the leading edge of the opening sash first. If slightly bigger areas are required then consider the triangles at the sides if they are allowed to be included. For example, a standard 265mm chain gives approximately 0.225m clear opening x 1m window width gives 0.225m2 clear opening per opening window. It depends on the size of the controls, the size and weight of the windows to be opened, and the number of windows which are to be opened.

Your window opener must have the ability to monitor for entrapment on specified windows by communication via the microprocessors installed within the actuator and by monitoring in real-time the amount of electrical current being drawn and the precise position of the window to an accuracy of less than a millimetre. You can also use these units to activate counter-top sliding glass partitions, cupboard doors, or anything else. To determine the actual physical length of the housing, add 9 inches (230 mm) to the stroke length. For example, a 24 inch stroke would require a housing that is 24 + 9 = 33 inches long (~840 mm). If you are opening windows, they can be made ADA compliant at 4 inches (100 mm).
