Powerful Roller Shutter Tubular Motors for Residential and Commercial Projects
Roller shutters require stable torque, reliable braking, accurate limit control, and long service life. For houses, shops, warehouses, garages, and commercial buildings, the motor must lift the shutter curtain smoothly and stop safely at the upper and lower positions.
Walter provides roller shutter tubular motor solutions for different shutter sizes and load requirements. Our product range covers 35mm, 45mm, and 59mm tubular motors, including standard mechanical limit motors, built-in receiver motors, electronic limit motors, and manual override motors for emergency operation.
This page focuses only on tubular motors for roller shutters. If you want to learn the general working principle of tubular motors, please visit our tubular motor guide. If you are looking for the complete product range, please visit our tubular motors product page.
Why Roller Shutters Need High Torque Tubular Motors
A roller shutter is usually heavier than an indoor roller blind. The shutter curtain may be made of aluminum slats, steel slats, or insulated profiles. When the curtain rolls up, the motor must overcome the weight of the shutter, tube friction, guide rail resistance, and the increasing roll diameter.
For this reason, roller shutter motors normally require higher torque than small window covering motors. A motor with insufficient torque may run slowly, overheat, stop before reaching the limit, or shorten its service life. Choosing the correct torque range is one of the most important steps in a roller shutter project.

- YYGL35R – built-in receiver motor for remote control
- YYGL35E – electronic limit motor for precise position control
45mm Roller Shutter Tubular Motors
The 45mm tubular motor is the most common choice for residential and commercial roller shutters. It provides a wider torque range and can handle standard aluminum or steel shutter systems.
Walter 45mm roller shutter motors are available in different versions, including standard mechanical limit, built-in receiver, electronic limit, and manual override models. This allows distributors and shutter manufacturers to select the right motor according to the project requirement.
Recommended models include:
- YYGL45S – standard mechanical limit motor for common roller shutters
- YYGL45R – built-in receiver motor for remote control operation
- YYGL45E – electronic limit motor for accurate limit setting
- YYGL45M – manual override motor for emergency operation
59mm Heavy-Duty Roller Shutter Motors
For large roller shutters, garage doors, industrial doors, and heavy-duty commercial applications, Walter 59mm tubular motors provide higher torque output. The 59mm series is designed for projects where stronger lifting capacity and stable long-term operation are required.
Typical torque options include 60Nm, 80Nm, 100Nm, 120Nm, and 140Nm. These motors are suitable for large shutter curtains, high-load installations, and demanding environments.
Recommended models include:
- YYGL59S – high torque mechanical limit tubular motor
- YYGL59M – high torque manual override motor
- YYGL59R – built-in receiver motor for remote control systems
- YYGL59E – electronic limit motor for precise control
Mechanical Limit, Electronic Limit, or Manual Override?
Different roller shutter projects may require different limit and control systems. Walter provides multiple options to match local installation habits and customer requirements.
| Motor Type | Main Feature | Recommended Application |
|---|---|---|
| Mechanical limit motor | Simple, stable, and easy to adjust | Standard roller shutters |
| Built-in receiver motor | Remote control without an external receiver | Residential and shop shutters |
| Electronic limit motor | More precise limit setting and control | Projects requiring accurate positioning |
| Manual override motor | Manual operation during power failure | Garage doors, shops, and commercial shutters |
How to Choose the Right Roller Shutter Motor
When selecting a roller shutter tubular motor, the most important factors are shutter weight, tube diameter, curtain height, guide rail resistance, and required control method. A small shutter may only need a 35mm motor, while a larger shutter usually requires a 45mm or 59mm motor.
For engineering selection, Walter recommends checking the following information before confirming the motor model:
- Shutter curtain material and total weight
- Tube diameter and shaft type
- Shutter width and height
- Required torque and speed
- Voltage requirement, such as 230V or 110V AC
- Limit type: mechanical, electronic, or receiver control
- Whether manual override is required
- Local installation and wiring standard
If you are not sure which model to choose, Walter can help you calculate the recommended torque range based on your shutter size and project requirements.

FAQ About Roller Shutter Tubular Motors
What torque is suitable for roller shutters?
Small roller shutters may use 3–13Nm motors, while standard residential and commercial shutters often use 10–50Nm motors. Heavy-duty shutters, garage doors, and warehouse shutters may require 60–140Nm motors depending on shutter size and weight.
Can a roller shutter motor work during power failure?
A standard motor cannot operate without power. If emergency operation is required, a manual override tubular motor is recommended. Walter YYGL45M and YYGL59M series are designed for applications where manual backup operation is needed.
Which motor is best for shop front roller shutters?
For most shop front roller shutters, a 45mm tubular motor is commonly used. The exact torque depends on shutter weight, tube size, and installation conditions.
What is the difference between 45mm and 59mm roller shutter motors?
45mm motors are suitable for standard residential and commercial shutters, while 59mm motors are used for larger and heavier roller shutters requiring higher torque output.
Can Walter customize roller shutter motors?
Yes. Walter supports OEM and ODM customization, including torque, speed, voltage, cable, control method, crown and drive wheel, packaging, and branding.
