If you are sourcing roller shutter motors for garage doors, shopfronts or industrial buildings, start with the specifications. This guide explains the three areas that decide whether a roller shutter motor fits your door — lifting force and load, torque, and voltage — using the published data from the ShareH Home roller shutter motor and tubular motor product pages as reference.
1. What Is a Roller Shutter Motor?
A roller shutter motor is the drive unit that raises and lowers a rolling shutter curtain. Instead of pulling the curtain by hand, the motor turns the shutter axle so the curtain rolls up and down at the push of a button.
On the ShareH Home product line, the roller shutter motor is a side-mounted unit for garage doors, shopfronts, warehouses and industrial rolling doors. The product page lists the following specifications: a 300 W motor with 412 N.m of output torque, a maximum elevating force of 600 kg, a maximum elevating height of 6 m, and an aluminium and iron construction. Operation is by remote control or by the manual up/stop/down buttons on the control panel, and a manual chain keeps the door usable during a power cut.
Buyer’s tip: always distinguish a side-mounted rolling door motor from a tubular motor. They look similar in supplier catalogues but they fit different doors — see Section 4.
2. Torque and Load Requirements
Two published figures matter when you match this motor to a door:
- Maximum elevating force: 600 kg. This is the published lifting capacity of the motor. The actual curtain weight, drum size and site conditions determine which configuration is suitable — share these with the supplier for confirmation.
- Output torque: 412 N.m, delivered to the shutter axle through the drive.
- Constant working time: 7 minutes — the published continuous-operation rating. The page also lists an overheat protection device that cuts the power supply at 110 °C and allows restarting after the motor cools to 70 °C.
Before comparing quotations, collect three measurements from your project: the total weight of the loaded curtain, the door width and height, and the expected number of open/close cycles per day. Send these to the supplier so the configuration can be confirmed against the published specifications.
Scope note: the figures above describe the side-mounted roller shutter motor for shutter curtains. They do not apply to tubular motors — see Section 4.
3. Choosing the Right Voltage
Voltage is decided by the installation site, not by preference.
- The tubular motor range is published at 230 V, 50 Hz, drawing 0.71–1.35 A depending on the torque grade.
- For the roller shutter motor line, the product page lists single-phase, three-phase and DC versions among the published options. Which configuration is available for a specific model should be confirmed at inquiry, together with the mains standard of your destination market (for example 230 V/50 Hz versus 110 V/60 Hz regions).
4. Roller Shutter Motor vs Tubular Motor
These two motor types are often listed side by side in supplier catalogues, but they are different products for different doors.
| Roller shutter motor (side-mounted) | Tubular motor (in-tube) | |
| Where it fits | On the side of the shutter opening, driving the axle | Inside the tube of the blind or shutter roll |
| Typical doors | Garage doors, shopfronts, warehouses, industrial shutters | Roller blinds, roller shades, lighter shutter rolls |
| Published figures (ShareH Home) | 600 kg max elevating force, 412 N.m torque, 6 m height, 300 W | 10–60 N.m torque, 12/15/17 rpm, 230 V/50 Hz, IP44 |
| Control | Remote control + manual buttons + manual chain | RF remote control, mechanical limit (15 turns) |
| Typical choice | Heavy, large or industrial shutter curtains | Blinds and lighter rolls where a concealed motor is preferred |
Because both types may appear under the heading of “roller shutter motors” in catalogues, check which type a specification describes before comparing prices or lead times.
- Specifications: Roller Shutter Motor
- For blinds and lighter rolls: Tubular Motor range
5. Specifications to Compare as a Wholesale Buyer
Put these published points side by side when you review quotations:
- Motor power and output torque — e.g. 300 W / 412 N.m as listed on the ShareH Home roller shutter motor page.
- Maximum elevating force and height — 600 kg / 6 m as published.
- Constant working time and thermal protection — 7 minutes; power cut-off at 110 °C, restart at 70 °C.
- Working temperature range — −20 to +55 °C, as published.
- Material — aluminium and iron, as listed.
- Control options — remote control, manual buttons, manual chain, mechanical limit switch.
For the tubular range, the equivalent checklist is torque grade (10/20/30/40/50/60 N.m), speed (12/15/17 rpm), power (162–310 W), protection class (IP44) and net weight (2.6–3.5 kg).
Warranty confirmed by ShareH Home: 5 years for tubular motors and 1 year for roller shutter motors. Applicable model coverage and warranty details are stated in the order documentation. Delivery time is listed on the product page as 10–25 days after order confirmation; final lead times are confirmed per order. Certifications and packing details are confirmed per order inquiry — ask the supplier to state them in the quotation.
6. OEM and Product Inquiry
ShareH Home supplies roller shutter motors, tubular motors, sliding and swing gate openers, remote controls and switch locks, and handles OEM inquiries across these product lines.
When you send an inquiry, include: the loaded curtain weight, door dimensions, expected cycle frequency, the mains voltage of the destination market, and whether private branding is required. This lets the supplier confirm the configuration instead of quoting a guess.

7. Frequently Asked Questions
What size roller shutter motor do I need for a garage door?
The roller shutter motor page publishes a maximum elevating force of 600 kg, a maximum elevating height of 6 m, and a 300 W / 412 N.m motor. Provide your loaded curtain weight and door dimensions to the supplier so suitability can be confirmed against these published figures.
Is a tubular motor the same as a roller shutter motor?
No. A tubular motor sits inside the tube and is published with torque ratings of 10–60 N.m for blinds and lighter rolls; a side-mounted roller shutter motor is published with lifting force and torque figures for garage and industrial doors. See Section 4.
What happens if the motor overheats?
The published roller shutter motor specifications include an overheat protection device that cuts the power supply at 110 °C and allows restarting after the motor cools to 70 °C.
Can the door still be operated during a power cut?
Yes — the published operating description includes a manual chain for power failures, in addition to remote control and panel buttons.
What is the MOQ for wholesale orders?
The minimum order quantity is 1–50 pieces, depending on the product model. Confirm the exact figure for your model in your inquiry.
Does ShareH Home support OEM orders?
Yes — OEM inquiries are handled across the roller shutter motor, tubular motor and gate opener product lines, with customization requests confirmed per inquiry.
What are the delivery time and warranty?
The product page lists 10–25 days delivery after order confirmation; final lead times are confirmed per order. Confirmed warranty terms are 5 years for tubular motors and 1 year for roller shutter motors, with coverage details stated in the order documentation.
