Alpha WSER50 30/17 Universal Motor

⚠️ This is a 240V hardwired motor and requires an electrician for wiring. If you need a battery motor, see the WSERD series HERE.

The Alpha WSER50 30/17 Universal Motor is a high-performance 240V tubular motor engineered for large outdoor blinds, external straight drops, zip screens, and roller shutters. As one of the strongest models in Alpha’s WSER50 Universal series, the Alpha WSER50 30/17 Universal Motor delivers exceptional lifting power, precise movement control, and advanced safety features for demanding residential and commercial installations.

With 30Nm torque and a 17rpm operating speed, this motor is designed for wide-span blinds, heavy fabrics, and high-wind areas where reliability and controlled tensioning are essential. Its signature torque stop function allows the system to stop safely on mechanical stoppers at the top limit in side-channel systems and apply fabric tension when the awning is fully lowered—making it the preferred motor for zip screens and large straight-drop blinds.

The motor includes a built-in receiver, external antenna, and electronic limit switches, allowing installers to set travel limits wirelessly with accuracy. It is compatible with RS001 and RS002 Sun/Wind Sensors, providing automated weather protection. When paired with a sensor, the motor expects a heartbeat pulse every 20 minutes; if the pulse is not detected, the awning will automatically retract after approximately 30 minutes to prevent damage and alert the homeowner to sensor failure.

The Alpha WSER50 30/17 Universal Motor features a robust 45mm diameter body, fits into 63mm or larger tubes, and carries an IP44 protection rating suitable for outdoor environments. It includes the A2404 Crown & Drive set and the A3415 motor bracket for straightforward installation.

This motor is the ideal choice for heavy-duty external screens, premium zip-track systems, straight-drop awnings, and roller shutters requiring strength, safety, and automation capability.
