What this means for your home
This is the motor behind a 12 ft sliding-door shade or a two-storey window in a new build. One distribution panel in a closet powers a whole floor of shades.
The 45 Q6 at about 29 dB is the quiet choice for a primary bedroom with oversize glass.
Rolli pairs it with the S60 or S80 system so the tube does not deflect on long spans.
Questions
Large wired motors, answered
When does Rolli use a Q6 instead of a Zero?
When the fabric weight or width exceeds what a 2.0 Nm motor lifts cleanly, typically over 8 ft wide or over 20 lb of fabric and bar. Rolli calculates it from the fabric weight per square yard.
How many shades per power supply?
It depends on supply wattage and run length. Rolli specifies the DC distribution panel and circuit count per project.
Is there a battery version?
Yes: the 5V Li-ion 35 Q6 and 45 Q6 match the torque with a built-in 5,200 mAh battery.
