BRUSHLESS MOTOR TECHNOLOGY
Durability Meets Efficiency
The Li-ion FT motor features Brushless Motor Technology, offering smoother, quieter performance and longer run times.
By removing the brushes, there’s less friction and heat, so more energy goes into generating torque.
With fewer wearable parts, brushless motors are built to last, making them a durable motor solution for outdoor shades.
