Schüco Sun Shading System ALB, Hollow louvre blade, active, concealed

Active large louvre blades with concealed drive as a flexible shading system

The drive and the mechanics of the Schüco ALB (Aluminium Louvre Blade) sun shading system are protected and almost fully concealed when installed in the drive mullion profile. This technology allows the hollow louvre blades to be rotated 360°.

Tested Schüco system components ensure secure and easy attachment to Schüco façades and existing substructures.

The active large louvre blades are unaffected by wind during use and can be installed horizontally or vertically. The louvre blades are installed and stored using low maintenance plastic liners in the drive mullion.

  • Concealed louvre blade drives guarantee a harmonious façade structure
  • Can be used vertically and horizontally
  • High degree of flexibility in the system with various possible louvre blade widths
  • Individual design options using different shapes and colours
  • Sun shading unaffected by wind
  • Highly effective shading at all times of the day and throughout the year

The installation can be fixed to the mullion/transom construction using point-fixed, system-specific anchor fixings.

The louvre blades must be fixed in the drive mullion on one side and in the sliding bearing mullion on the other side. The drive mullion must be designed with a face width of 60 mm. It accommodates the concealed drive components. The sliding bearing mullion must be designed with a face width of 60 mm and allow for expansion of +/- 8 mm of the louvre blades.
The drive motor can be installed either at the top or bottom in the drive mullion

Drive
The drive consists of a drive shaft, gearbox, coupling, flange adapter and motor, which are concealed in the drive mullion. The louvre blades must be fixed to the flange adapter on the drive side in such a way that a gap <= 11 mm is created between the drive mullion and louvre blade.
The drive must allow the louvre blade axis to be adjusted.
The louvre blade rotation speed is 336°/min.
The drive consists of a maintenance-free 230 V electric motor with fitted planetary gearing, comfort setting and temperature control. The top and bottom end positions can be set. The complete drive unit has VDE and CE marks and EMV radio suppression seal.
Control and shading
The individual louvre blades are connected to one another by a profile roller located in the drive mullion and can be aligned using the pre-set 230 V AC electric motors. The louvre blade rotation angle is 360°. Due to the end stop setting on the drive motor, the rotation angle can be freely set. The drives must be fitted with motor brackets and concealed cable channels.
