Smart Tubular Motor (Roller Shade / Blind, Zigbee)
Smart tubular motors from China for roller shades and blinds: Zigbee/Tuya, 220V/60Hz, tube sizes, load rating. OEM from 500 units, FCC/CE/SASO.
A smart tubular motor drives roller shades, blinds, and awnings from inside the tube. For the Gulf the deciding specs are matching the tube diameter and torque to the shade size, and a 220V/60Hz build with the right control interface. With a radio, the Saudi market needs CST approval. This page covers tubular motors sourced from China for KSA.
Tube size, torque, and load
The motor must match the roller mechanically and have enough torque for the fabric:
- Tube diameter (35mm vs 45mm). Must match the roller tube; a mismatch needs adapters or won’t fit. Confirm against the shade hardware.
- Torque vs fabric weight. Larger shades and sun-screen mesh common in the Gulf need 20–30 N·m. Underspeccing stalls the motor. Confirm the rated torque against the actual fabric weight and drop.
The action item: specify the exact tube diameter and the heaviest fabric/drop in the project, and confirm the torque rating covers it with margin.
Power and control
The wired 220V/60Hz SKU is standard for permanent roller installs; a 24V DC or Li-battery SKU suits retrofits. Control via Zigbee 3.0 (local hub), Tuya Wi-Fi (Tuya reference), or RF433 remote. Pair with a scene panel for grouped shade control.
Saudi / GCC market notes
- Mains: wired SKU at 220V/60Hz, label states 60Hz.
- Wireless approval: the radio needs CST type approval.
- Safety + docs: IEC 60335 accredited report; Arabic manual and label.
