Central roller shutter mechanism Norton Roll 60 K160

Description of the Norton Roll 60 K160 central roller shutter mechanism

The Norton Roll 60 K160 mechanism is installed on roller shutters that operate with springs. It is suitable for a shaft with a diameter of Φ60 and has an outer dimension of Φ220. (It is suitable for Φ220 balancing springs).

The mechanism is non-reversible, which means it does not move unless it receives a command from the control panel.

In case of power failure, it has a disengagement with a pine cone. During installation, special attention must be paid to ensure that the cable does not form sharp angles so that it can operate smoothly. 

Installation of Norton Roll 60 K160 roller shutter mechanism

  • Close the roller shutter to expose the shaft.
  • Drill 3 holes in the shaft, as shown in the first figure. The Φ10 mm hole will be used for a screw that secures the motor to the shaft and prevents it from rotating around it. The 2 Φ12 mm holes will be used to pass the cable, which disengages the electric brake in case of power failure, and the power cable for the motor, through the inside of the shaft and then to the side of the roller shutter. Make sure that the Φ12 holes do not have sharp edges that could damage the cable or the wire. The correct position of the roller shutter is when the center of the drum is in the middle of the width of the roller shutter opening, or as close as possible to it. (fig. 1)

Installation of Norton Roll 60 K160 roller shutter mechanism

  • Remove the screw from the motor drum. (fig. 2)

Installation of Norton Roll 60 K160 motor

  • Remove the two halves (upper & lower) of the motor drum by unscrewing the two M8 screws using a 6 mm Allen key.
  • Carefully remove the plastic strip that forms the motor drum bearing. The strip is covered with grease, so care must be taken not to let dirt stick to it. Do not remove the grease. (fig. 2)
  • Remove the two halves (upper & lower) of the motor housing by unscrewing the four M8 screws using a 6 mm Allen key. (fig. 2)
  • If required, install the plastic shaft diameter adapter, positioning it based on the Φ10 hole you have already drilled. (fig. 2)
  • Reconnect the two halves (upper & lower) of the motor housing, screwing in the four M8 screws using a 6 mm Allen key, so that the motor housing embraces the roller shaft.
  • Screw the M10 hexagonal head bolt, without a nut, into the Φ10 hole you drilled at the beginning, using a 17 mm spanner. The bolt must pass into the inside of the shaft to prevent the motor from rotating around the shaft. (fig. 3)

  • Screw the other M10 hexagonal head bolt with a nut as tightly as necessary to secure the motor to the roller shaft, using a 17 mm spanner. Then screw and tighten its nut to secure the connection ("lock nut").
  • Carefully place the plastic strip that forms the motor drum bearing back into position.
  • Reconnect the two halves (upper & lower) of the motor drum, screwing in the two M8 screws using a 6 mm Allen key. If required, install the plastic drum diameter adapter by clipping it to the upper part of the motor drum.
  • Drill a Φ12 hole in the upper part of the roller curtain, vertically aligned with the M10 screw.
  • Connect the upper part of the roller curtain to the motor drum. For this purpose, screw the corresponding M10 screw with its washer into the thread of the upper half of the motor drum using a 17 mm spanner. If necessary, you can pull the disengagement cable to manually rotate the motor drum to bring the M10 screw into a convenient position.
  • Pass the cable and wire into the inside of the shaft, using the 2 Φ12 holes you drilled initially:
I. Pass the 4×1.0 mm² cable supplied with the motor through the first Φ12 hole into the inside of the shaft (make sure the cable stays away from the moving parts of the roller). The cable exits from the end of the shaft, at the side of the roller. Secure the cable so that it does not come into contact with moving parts of the roller (e.g., by tightening it with a zip tie to the shaft).
II. Pass the disengagement cable through the second Φ12 hole into the inside of the shaft (make sure the cable stays away from the moving parts of the roller and bends as smoothly as possible). The cable exits from the end of the shaft, at the side of the roller. To pass the cable, you must first disconnect it from the disengagement device at its end.
  • If the cable is not pre-connected, then connect it properly to the 4 contacts of the terminal block. Make sure all conductors are tightly screwed into the terminal block. (Fig. 4)

  • Cover the terminal block and the other cable connections with the plastic cover, which is secured with the 2 screws (O). If the motor has an electric brake, remove the tooth (P) from the cover so that the electric brake cable can pass through.
  • Once the previous installation steps have been completed, proceed with adjusting the 2 limit switches that cut off the power supply to the motor when it reaches its fully open and fully closed positions.
  • With the roller shutter lowered, if the motor has been installed as shown in the figure (i.e., the drum is on the left as you look at it), rotate the plastic nut until it presses the limit switch, at which point it will make a slight "click." You have now set the fully closed position of the roller shutter. (fig. 5)

  • Adjust the plastic nut by estimation and raise the roller shutter electrically, observing when it will press the limit switch, resulting in the stop of the opening. You must be conservative (it is preferable for the roller shutter to stop significantly before its fully open position on the first attempt, and, with successive steps, to reach the correct adjustment, even if this requires one or two more tests, rather than trying to achieve it on the first attempt). While making this adjustment, be careful and ready to stop the motor movement yourself in case the limit switch does not stop the motor movement in time. (fig. 5)
  • If the motor is installed upside down (i.e., the drum is on the left as you look at it), the closed and open limit switches are reversed, so the previous 2 steps must be adjusted accordingly.
