BECKER-Antriebe is developing a flexible tubular drive with an integrated EnOcean actuator
In the prefabricated home segment, in particular, EnOcean technology has become successfully established as the standard among different suppliers. However, classic drives, which require a supply cable to an external actuator – in the switch box, for example – are still used for the self-powered control of shutters and blinds. A unique and innovative solution offers new possibilities for the future.
Precise control
As a company specializing in drives and controllers for shutters, sunshields and doors, Becker-Antriebe is now the first supplier to install the future-oriented EnOcean technology directly into a tubular drive and thereby make it even easier to use – because separate actuators and significant installation effort are now things of the past. Another benefit is that the wireless actuators built into the drive itself make it possible to transmit absolute values and thus provide precise position values, which makes exact drive control possible.
Across disciplines
The new Becker solution is also seamlessly integrated into the principle of interdisciplinary interoperability, and it supports both remote management and remote commissioning. Due to the bidirectional feedback of position and status, the drive can also be effortlessly integrated into the central home automation system.
The “new kid on the block” among Becker tubular drives also earns points with sensitive obstacle detection, freeze prevention, intelligent installation management and many more functions. Combined with other EnOcean products, it thus provides ventilation and various alarm functions without an additional, higher-level control panel. Many things are possible in sustainable building automation – and with Becker-Antriebe they are now even easier.
