72# interface
What Is the 72# Star Head Interface?
The 72# star head is the motor head interface that connects the tubular motor body to the bracket and tube system. It is selected when the installation design uses a matching star head bracket and accessory set.
Why shutter and awning systems use it
A star head interface helps the motor sit securely in the bracket system and makes the mechanical connection easier to standardize for OEM assemblies. Bracket matching matters because a small mismatch can cause noise, vibration, poor alignment or difficult installation.
What to confirm together
- 72# motor head and project bracket.
- Crown adaptor and drive wheel for the tube profile.
- Tube drawing before mass production.
- Cable exit direction and motor insertion depth.
- Bracket, crown, drive wheel and end cap as one accessory system.
Model positioning
45mm Tubular Motor Model Comparison
| Model | Positioning | When to choose |
|---|---|---|
| YYGL45S | Standard 45mm mechanical limit motor | Choose for standard switch control or external receiver projects using the normal 45mm head interface. |
| Star Head Motor | 45mm motor with 72# star head interface | Choose when the bracket drawing or installation system requires the 72# star head configuration. |
| YYGL45R | Mechanical limit motor with built-in receiver | Choose when RF receiver control should be integrated into the motor platform. |
| YYGL45E | Electronic limit / receiver version | Choose when electronic limit setting and receiver control are required. |
| YYGL45B | Parallel control / electronic limit platform | Choose only after confirming the project control and wiring method. |
| YYGL45M | Manual override version | Choose when emergency manual crank operation is required. |
| YYGL45SD | Short body version | Choose when shutter box width or insertion length is limited. |
Torque selection
How to Choose the Right Torque
Torque should not be chosen only by curtain weight. A stable selection depends on the full mechanical system and the way the product will be used.
Factors to confirm
- Curtain or shutter weight.
- Tube diameter and lifting radius.
- Side guide friction.
- Awning arm load and fabric tension.
- Travel height and operating frequency.
- Voltage, controller type and wiring method.
- Safety factor and installation environment.
Walter recommendation process
Send project size and tube drawing for torque recommendation. Walter Motor can review the load, tube profile, bracket and control method before confirming 10Nm, 15Nm, 20Nm, 30Nm, 40Nm or 50Nm.
| Application | Preliminary torque range | Confirmation note |
|---|---|---|
| Light roller blinds | 10-15Nm | Confirm tube and fabric load |
| Standard roller shutters | 20-30Nm | Confirm shutter weight and guide friction |
| Larger shutters / awnings | 40-50Nm | Confirm load, tube, wind exposure and duty cycle |
Compatibility
Tube, Crown, Drive Wheel and Bracket Compatibility
Walter Motor should confirm compatibility from tube drawing, bracket drawing or sample. The motor head, bracket, crown adaptor and drive wheel should be checked together before mass production.
| Item | What Walter should confirm |
|---|---|
| 60mm octagonal tube | Confirm inner profile, crown adaptor, drive wheel and insertion depth before sample approval. |
| 70mm octagonal tube | Confirm tube profile and bracket position; torque should be checked against load and guide friction. |
| Round tube | Confirm inner diameter, wall thickness and drive wheel contact surface. |
| Special tube profile | Send drawing or sample so Walter Motor can confirm crown adaptor and drive wheel fit. |
| Bracket matching | Confirm 72# motor head, HTZ100 / HTZ89 or project-specific bracket and end bracket layout together. |
| Control accessories | Wall switch, receiver and transmitter compatibility should be checked by voltage and wiring diagram. |
Applications
Common Applications and Order Checks
