Common questions
What does the LT50/60 Octagonal 70mm Drive do?
It is the drive wheel that fits on a Somfy motor's output shaft and locks into 70mm octagonal tube. It carries the motor's torque into the roller, so the tube turns with the motor.
Which motors does it fit?
Part 9761002 fits Somfy LT50 and LT60 tubular motors. Somfy pairs it with the 70mm Octagonal LT60 Crown (9705340) in its 70mm Octagonal LT60 Set (9012247) for motors such as the Altus RTS 660R2 (1162271) and Altus RTS 680R2 (1164261).
What tube does it need?
It needs 70mm octagonal tube, which measures 2.75 in. Match the drive to both the size and the profile of your tube, since round and DS tubes take their own drive wheels.
What else do I need to mount the motor?
You need a crown for the same tube on the motor head. On an LT60 motor, use the 70mm Octagonal LT60 Crown (9705340). For an LT50 motor, the Octagonal LT50 70mm Crown and Drive Set (9012234) supplies both parts.
Is there a version with a drive stop?
Yes. The 70mm Octagonal LT50/LT60 Aluminum Drive With Stop (9012227) fits the same 70mm octagonal tube and the same LT50 and LT60 motor classes, and Somfy builds it in aluminum with a drive stop.
