What is in the LT50 2.5 in Round Crown and Drive Set?
Part 9012231 contains a crown and a drive wheel for 2.5 in round tube. The crown centers and supports the motor, and the drive wheel locks into the tube profile to pass the motor's torque to the roller.
Which motors does it fit?
It fits Somfy 50mm-class (500 Series, LT50) motors, including the LT50, LT50 CMO, Altus RTS, Sonesse 50 and DMI5 ranges. Examples in our store include the Sonesse 506S2 RTS (1001809) and the Altus RTS 550R2 (1038170).
What else do I need to mount the motor?
Add a motor bracket for the head end, such as the LT50 Universal Bracket with Spring Clip (9420631) or the LT50 Star Head Motor Bracket (9410651). For the tube, the Somfy 2.5 in OD Aluminum Tube (1781343) is sold by the foot.
