Elero T Series VariEco NHK Tubular Motor Repair – Specialist Workshop for Roller Doors with Emergency Hand Crank (NHK)
Your Elero tubular motor says:
“I am the motor you can rely on – even when the power goes out.”
“With my emergency hand crank, I keep your roller door movable – reliable, robust and safe.”
“At Thomas Reh, my mechanics were overhauled, tested and adjusted – ready for many more operations.”
The reliable Elero motor with emergency hand crank
The VariEco NHK motors of the Elero T series are mechanically controlled drives designed for roller doors and large-scale installations. Their integrated emergency hand crank (NHK) allows manual opening and closing in the event of a power outage – an important advantage in safety-related or weather-dependent applications.
The motors are known for their precise limit switch adjustment, robust construction and quiet operation. They are low-maintenance, durable and can usually be professionally overhauled and put back into service. This allows existing installations to remain fully functional without requiring a complete new installation.
Advantages compared to purchasing a new motor
- Sustainable: Environmentally friendly repair instead of replacement – proven mechanics remain in service.
- Cost-efficient: Repair is cheaper than purchasing a new unit; no conversion or adjustment of the control system needed.
- Manually operable: Thanks to the integrated emergency hand crank, the roller door remains functional even in a power outage – without loss of safety.
- Reliable: Mechanical technology – robust, durable and tested for flawless function.
- Compatible: Suitable for roller doors with Elero NHK drive systems.
- Also suitable for older models: Repair often possible after clarifying the fault.
