  • D+H chain drive KA

KA series: the flexible device that does it all

The versatile all-round talent

A multitude of designs make it possible to use the KA Series chain drive for all common window types. As a true all-rounder, it provides a custom fit to meet your requirements and features a variable length dimension as well as the option to adjust force and stroke individually. The BSY+ synchronised electronics can be used to control multiple drives at the same time upon request. So much variety in only one drive—nothing can match this speed! A force of pressure and tensile force up to 600 N and a stroke length up to 1300 mm allows this window drive to control the movement of almost any façade window, roof window or skylight with ease.

  • Custom solutions thanks to great flexibility in application

  • Compatible with all common window types

  • Quick and easy installation due to optimum coordination of the bracket sets

  • Can be used for SHEV and controlled natural ventilation

ACB technology

The KA drive series features the D+H communication technology ACB. Especially during major projects, building operators are often faced with the question, "Do all the installed system components also work for smoke extraction and natural ventilation? And if not, where in the network does the problem lie?" ACB allows the drives to communicate with the controllers and gives them feedback about opening widths and statuses. But this is just one major advantage of the innovative bus technology. It also significantly reduces wiring effort, which in turn saves installation effort and costs, and makes it possible to control drives with millimetre precision.
