Alpha A2201 Drive for 30mm Keyless Tube

The Alpha A2201 is a crown and drive component designed for use with Alpha 30mm tubular motors.

Alpha specifies the A2201 for a 30mm keyless tube configuration.

Unlike conventional tubular motor installations that require both a crown and a drive matched to the internal profile of the roller tube, this particular configuration requires no separate crown.

That makes the A2201 a straightforward component for compatible 30mm keyless tube installations.

Designed for Alpha 30mm Motors

The A2201 belongs to Alpha’s range of Crowns & Drives for 30mm Motors.

Crowns and drives form the mechanical connection between a tubular motor and the roller tube surrounding it.

The correct component must therefore be selected according to the motor size and roller tube profile being used.

For the A2201, Alpha specifically identifies the application as:

30mm keyless tube – no crown required.

No Separate Crown Required

The most important distinction with the Alpha A2201 is that the compatible keyless tube arrangement does not require a separate crown.

This is different from many other tubular motor installations where a matched crown and drive are both required.

When using the A2201 in its specified 30mm keyless tube application, no additional crown is required.

Correct Component Selection

Crowns and drives aren’t universal components.

Different roller tubes can have different internal diameters and profiles, so the correct component needs to match the particular tube and motor combination.

The A2201 should therefore only be selected where the installation uses the compatible 30mm keyless tube configuration specified by Alpha.

If you’re replacing an existing crown or drive and aren’t certain of the required component, compare the existing part and roller tube with the product specifications before ordering.
