Window and ventilation automation
Folding arm drives are ideal for the automation of windows, both in residential buildings and in commercial and industrial facilities. They can be used for daily ventilation to ensure better air circulation or to regulate room temperature through the use of natural ventilation.
Smoke and heat extraction systems (SHEVS)
In emergency situations, such as a fire, hinged arm drives allow windows and hatches to open automatically to effectively evacuate smoke and heat, increasing the safety of building occupants.
Access and safety
Folding arm drives can be integrated into security systems to control access or release emergency exits in critical situations. They offer a fast and reliable way to open doors and gates in an emergency.
Greenhouse applications
In greenhouses, hinged arm actuators can be used to control windows and roof hatches to regulate temperature, humidity and airflow, which in turn is beneficial for plant growth.
Industrial applications
In production facilities where the opening and closing of large windows, doors or hatches is required, hinged arm actuators offer a robust solution. They can be combined with sensors and control systems to enable automated processes.
Accessibility
Folding arm drives can be used to improve accessibility in public buildings, hospitals and care homes by making it easier for people with reduced mobility to open doors and windows.
In all these areas of application, folding arm drives not only offer convenience and efficiency, but can also be an essential part of safety and energy efficiency strategies. By integrating them into smart home or building automation systems, they can help create intelligent and responsive environments.
Explanation and application areas of chain hoist drives
Chain hoist drives, also known as chain drives, are motorised devices that use a chain to create linear movements for opening and closing elements such as windows, ventilation flaps and light doors. They can be used for a wide range of applications in both the private and industrial sectors.
Chain hoist window automation
Chain hoist drives are often used in window automation to open and close skylights, roof windows and standard windows. They are particularly useful in hard-to-reach areas and enable effective ventilation and temperature control. Smoke and heat extraction systems (SHEVS): In emergencies, such as fires, chain hoist drives ensure the automatic opening of windows and flaps to dissipate smoke and heat, thereby improving safety. In greenhouses, chain hoist drives help to regulate temperature and humidity by controlling the openings for ventilation, thus creating optimum growing conditions for plants.
Industrial ventilation
In factories or warehouses, chain hoist drives can be used to automate ventilation flaps to ensure efficient air circulation and improve air quality.
Smart home applications
As part of home automation systems, chain hoist drives can be integrated into the smart home to automatically control windows and skylights, contributing to the comfort and energy efficiency of the home.
Access solutions
Chain hoist drives can also be used to automate easy access doors or to operate flaps in the catering industry, such as counter flaps. Chain hoist drives enable accessibility for people with reduced mobility Chain hoist drives can facilitate the opening and closing of windows and doors, improving accessibility in homes, public buildings and healthcare facilities. Chain hoist drives are valued for their compact design, reliability and ease of integration into existing systems. They offer precise and controlled movement and are often available in different lengths and strengths to meet a wide range of requirements.
Slot actuators and their areas of application
Slot actuators, also known as spindle actuators, are electromechanical devices designed for precise linear movements. They are used where precise control over the opening and closing of openings is required. The name "slotted actuator" comes from the slotted guide that covers and protects a spindle mechanism while allowing the actuator arm to move.
Here are some typical areas of application:
Façade construction and architecture: Slot drives are often used for the movement of windows, ventilation flaps and fanlights in modern façade constructions. They are popular for their aesthetics and because they can be seamlessly integrated into architectural concepts.
Industrial automation:
In production facilities, slot actuators can be used for precision opening and closing of doors, windows and flaps to control environments that require a regulated atmosphere.
Agriculture and greenhouses: To control ventilation and climate in farms and greenhouses, slotted actuators are a reliable solution to control flaps and windows for temperature and humidity regulation.
Smoke and heat extraction systems (SHEVS): They are also an essential component of SHEVS systems to dissipate smoke and heat in the event of a fire, thereby protecting both people and property.
Shipbuilding and vehicle construction: Due to their compact design and ability to withstand environmental influences, slotted actuators are used in shipping and vehicle construction to operate hatches and windows.
Accessibility and building automation: They make life easier for people with reduced mobility by automating the opening and closing of windows and doors in residential buildings and public facilities.
Slot actuators are particularly suitable for these applications due to their precision, power and durability. Their design enables extremely accurate motion control, making them ideal for scenarios where detailed positioning is essential.
RWA and its life-saving significance
RWA stands for "smoke and heat extraction system". This is a safety system that is installed in buildings to dissipate smoke and heat in the event of a fire. The aim of such a system is to keep escape and rescue routes smoke-free in the event of a fire and to facilitate firefighting.
Smoke extraction
Smoke extraction is an essential component of SHEVS and refers specifically to the function and mechanisms used to remove smoke from a burning building. Smoke is particularly dangerous in fires as it impairs visibility, contains toxic gases and makes breathing difficult, which can make it harder to evacuate people and hinder rescue operations.
Why SHEVS and smoke extraction are important
Saving lives: By reducing smoke and heat within the building, SHEVS systems can save lives by ensuring that escape routes remain visible and passable.
Enabling rescue operations: SHEVS systems make it easier for firefighters to access the building by improving visibility and reducing the temperature.
Structural protection: By reducing the temperature in the building, SHEVS systems help to maintain the integrity of the building structure and limit the fire to the point of origin.
Reducing smoke damage: Smoke can cause significant damage to property and buildings. Effective smoke extraction helps to minimise this damage.
Compliance with regulations: In many countries, SHEV systems are required by fire regulations and safety regulations for certain types of buildings.
SHEV systems can be automatically activated by smoke detectors and temperature sensors or manually operated by security personnel or the fire brigade. They often include components such as smoke dampers, exhaust fans, natural ventilation elements as well as folding arm and chain hoist drives, which are used to operate windows and ventilation flaps.
