- What are the benefits of electric chain actuators?
Compact, compared to linear actuator alternatives Easy to install and maintain Come in a wide variety of options, stroke lengths and colours Low noise output Low power usage Low cost Reliable and flexible solution Synchronised versions are available
- How do electric chain actuators work?
Available in single and double chain variations, the chain is designed to engage with pinions that mounted on a drive shaft that is inside an external casing. As the pinions spin, the chains links rotate through the casing at a 90-degree angle which directs the chain into a rigid, straight form, highly resistant to compression and tension. As the chain is directed into a straight form, the window pushes open and as it retracts into the casing, it causes the window to close.
- What are electric chain actuators used for?
An electric chain actuator can be used to open and close windows for smoke and natural ventilation. These help with daily ventilation and in cases of emergency as an active fire protection method to help control smoke.
- What are electric chain actuators?
Electric chain actuators open and close windows for the purpose of natural ventilation, smoke control and heat management. They have a chain that extends from the housing of the actuator which connects with the moving sash of the window or vent, pushing it open or closed.
- What applications are electric window openers most suited to?
Not only are they widely used in a number of different settings, industries and property types but because of their efficient design they are particularly popular for; High windows out of reach Skylights Windows that are difficult to access Properties that are lived in or used by people with disabilities Smoke ventilation windows Secure premises Windows that are too big or heavy to open easily Where there are a large number of windows Premises that required timed ventilation or temperature control
- What type of buildings benefit from using Electric Actuators?
Electric window openers are used for numerous different types of properties, businesses, buildings and organisations including; Schools, colleges and universities Hospitals, care homes and medical facilities Office buildings Residential properties Shops, restaurants and retail venues Sports venues and leisure facilities
