Planetary gears for blinds
Always on the right sideAlways on the right side
Large, generous window facades are in vogue, lending the living area a bright, warm and friendly atmosphere. But, of course, there are moments when you need less sunlight. Or no looks from outside. For this purpose, vertical blinds are the method of choice. Quick and flexible to adjust, adaptable to a wide range of window dimensions.
Apart from operation by hand, there are also motorized vertical blinds - with planetary gears from IMS Gear providing the right drive. In this way, not only the slats of the blind are always on the right side, but our customers as well. Based on our modular system, we could perfectly meet the most important requirements in the field of drives for blinds:
- very little installation space
- low noise development
- efficient price-performance ratio
“Convenience and automation are becoming ever more important in building engineering: With our versatile drive solutions we are the perfect partner for this."
Helmut Brugger, Sales Manager at IMS Gear
Convenient and Electric are Current Trends
In recent years, automation has become ever more widespread in building engineering - and the trend continues. Hardly any application, hardly any device cannot (also) be operated electrically these days. This is also true for indoor and outdoor shutters, sun protection, and blinds. Planetary gears from IMS Gear provide ideal and flexible drive solutions for these applications.
Our Drive Solution for Vertical Blinds
“The project for a manufacturer of vertical blinds was exciting insofar as we were supposed to bring a very compact and low-noise gear to the market”, explains Helmut Brugger who was responsible for the project as sales manager with IMS Gear. “The factor speed was crucial - there was simply not enough time for extensive developments. Furthermore, an efficient price-performance ratio was of critical importance for our approach to get ahead. Here we could put all benefits of our modular system to full use.
A Small and Silent Gear Drive
The plastic planetary gear IMS.22 Eco proved most suitable for the particular requirements. “The gear drives the longitudinal movement of the slats by means of a revolving belt and must be infinitely adjustable”, Brugger explains. “It is installed in the blind strip, obviously with very little installation space. And of course, the operation has to be particularly silent as the vertical blind is installed indoors where you don’t need any disturbing noise.
Getting There Fast
Finding the best solution from different variants and possibilities - this is the central benefit of IMS Gear’s modular system. As proven once again in the project of planetary gears for vertical blinds. “It’s quick and easy with us”, Helmut Brugger rejoices. “We can start sampling very fast, modifications are also quickly implemented. And the fact that all elements are virtually ready in our modular system also has positive effects on the price-performance ratio.”
The Future in Sight
With our wide range of planetary gears in combination with the opportunities our modular system offers with respect to quick adaptability to specific requirements, we from IMS Gear are the perfect partner for building engineering - today and in the future. “We never stop developing”, Brugger emphasizes. “The applications of drives in the field of building engineering and smart home systems are almost endless - just as our respective drive solutions.”
Conclusion
Drives for indoor blinds have to meet specific requirements. Based on the proven modular system, we from IMS Gear can offer customized solutions - in almost no time and at an attractive price-performance ratio.
