Becker focuses on both dealer and end user

Reliable and durable solutions 'Made in Germany'

New developments that make life, living and working easier for people. This has been Becker's goal since its founding in 1921. With its drives and controls for roller shutters and awnings, as well as for numerous other applications, including those outside sun protection, the family-owned company from Sinn in the German state of Hesse, offers people around the world more comfort, security and energy efficiency. 

Currently, there are numerous possibilities, from simple operation with wall switches, through automatic, time-controlled to the full integration of Becker drives into Smart Home systems. The end user decides what the best solution is. 

His wishes are at the heart of the drives and controls produced by Becker. During their development, the focus is on the quality of life and living for both dealers and end users. In order to achieve this, the highest demands are made on quality from the very first idea for a product, with the aim of providing reliable and durable solutions "Made in Germany.

Digital solutions make people's lives easier, including at home. There, everything can be automated that should open or close automatically at a certain time, situation or weather conditions. 

Roller shutters or blinds can easily be controlled with an app from any point in the house or even in the world. That may sound too good to be true, but it's not. It sounds like Becker wants to be a partner in home automation that adds value.

This is a product, which everyone hopes never to have to use! But it makes sense in extreme situations, and it is increasingly required in utility buildings to create an additional escape route. This should allow a quick escape route to the outside even when the power is out. 

The awning and roller shutter drives with emergency manual operation guarantee that awnings or roller shutters can be operated even in the event of a power failure. But the C33 with integrated Centronic wireless receiver can do a whole lot more. Thanks to its special intelligence, the drive finds its end positions again even after operation with the hand crank. 

Becker is really not only specialized in drives and controls for sun protection and roller shutters. The drives developed and manufactured in Germany can be flexibly integrated into almost any application without compromising their performance. How versatile the possibilities are is demonstrated by the numerous and diverse industries in which Becker drives have been successfully used for years: smoke and fire screens, agriculture, swimming pool covers, caravans and even in shipping. Drives from Becker can be found everywhere where reliable, safe and above all compatible technology is needed. 

First, a Solar set from Becker includes a 6 or 10 Nm DC tube motor for roller shutters and awnings. These motors have an electronic limit switch, a soft-start-soft-stop system and a blocking function. The motors can be controlled remotely with a Centronic handheld transmitter with the same settings as other remotely controlled tube motors from Becker. For battery charging, an optional extension cable and adapter are available.
