Folding Arm Actuators

Electric folding arm actuators deliver many great benefits such as; Ideal solution for roof lights and skylights They are easy to install Offer programmable parameters They are extremely versatile and can be used for natural ventilation as well as parts of a smoke and heat ventilation system Strong and highly resilient to wind and snow loads Aesthetically pleasing with their compact size and symmetrical design Two folding arm actuators can be synced together for projects that require synchronized units

A folding arm actuator can be fitted to side hung windows, doors and vents and can be designed to open either outwards or inwards. They work via a motorised arm attached to the opening that begins in a folded position and unfolds as it is powered by the motor. They are popular for windows and skylights in hard-to-reach areas, as part of a natural ventilation system and for AOVs and windows for smoke ventilation.

For an open out vent/door, the mounting bracket will be attached at the top of the frame and hold the actuator below the frame edge. When used in an open in vent/door the actuator is mounted to the frame instead and a Z bracket is used between the vent/door and the actuator arm.
