Calculation of force to open and close

Note! With the formulae indicated below it is possible to determine the approxi-
mate force required to open or close a (smooth-running) window.
º
Possible snow loads are to be considered.
The application formula considers tilt and top hung windows only.
Note!
The maximum rated drive force is to be taken from the technical data you
will find in chapter „5 Technical data for 1 motor" on page 21.
º
If the values you calculated exceed the max. allowed force, please contact
