GSI – Drive System for closed cavity facade

The GSI system (GEIGER system INline) was specially designed to install the sun protection drive outside the facade, in particular outside the closed cavity facade.

The installation location is a real challenge due to the ambient conditions within the facade and for questions of maintenance.

All components which are used were tested in order to meet the extreme operating conditions to be faced by sun protection systems in Closed Cavity Facade (CCF).

The drive module of the GJ56 motor serves as a basic component of the GSI kit.
The GSI5606 r and the GSI5610 r are noise-reduced drives with a mechanical end stop. The planetary gear and the brake have been adapted to the specific requirements of the facade.

The angle gear GSI1.. is directly adapted to the drive (the attachment – mounting position – can be freely selected in a grid of 90°). The result is a compact and precise unit without additional coupling elements. The drive can be directly flanged to the facade with two L-angles or connected with one of the connecting elements (GSI2..).

The connecting elements of the GSI series are easy-running sealing elements which are attached from the outside on the facade. All connecting elements have the same sealing elements that are tested for tightness.

The connecting elements are designed so that the drive can be adapted without additional coupling element which guarantees a prefect alignment of the total unit.

The GSI2.. system is designed in such a manner that the penetration depth for different cavities is scalable (in the factory).

The sealing elements are interchangeable from the outside, when accessible.  

The angle gears GSI1.. have a ratio of 1:1 and allow the right-angled input into the facade.
The smooth-running bevel gears are characterized by a tested life of > 10.000 cycles that were carried out constantly with a 10 Nm torque. The versions have different designs and different types of bearings.

The gears can be ordered - with the corresponding shaft heights – for the upper boxes of all common sunscreen manufacturers. The mounting in the upper box is made with four screw connections on the gear unit base.

The angle gear has a gear reduction of 1:1 and allows a perpendicular insertion into
the façade. The smooth-running bevel gear is distinguished by its proven lifecycle
of < 10,000 cycles carried out with a permanent torque of 10 Nm. Due to its slim con­struction, the distance from the posts to the textile sun protection can be kept extremely small. This allows for subtle construction that prevents incident light from the side.

The gear is equipped with a 78 mm roller (DM). Other rollers can be used on request depending on order volume. The minimum diameter is 63 mm.

Optionally, two different gearbox shafts can be used.
