Until now, when operating electric Venetian blind motors with a fixed Motor speed, a compromise had always to be found between the precise adjustment of the slats and fast travel movements. GEIGER managed to combine these seemingly contradictory requirements into a single motor: the new GJ56..-DuoDrive.
This is achieved with an automatic switching gear unit that combines two diff erent speeds. In the startup phase, the motor slowly rotates with 9 revolutions per minute. The slats can be accurately positioned and precisely adjusted by hand. This is also optimal for the automated daylight control. After a three-quarter turn the motor runs at 39 revolutions per minute. The subsequent fast travel movements not only off er greater comfort, but also greater safety in case of wind alarm. They also allow more driving cycles before activation of the thermal protection.
