Alpha A2208 Crown & Drive for 30mm Motors

The Alpha A2208 is part of Alpha Motors’ range of Crowns & Drives for 30mm Motors, providing the mechanical connection required between a compatible tubular motor and roller tube.

Tubular motors operate from inside the roller tube. The crown and drive components allow the motor and tube to work together so the motor’s rotation can operate the blind.

Because roller tubes are manufactured with different diameters and internal profiles, selecting the correct crown and drive is an important part of a motor installation or replacement.

Designed for Alpha 30mm Motors

Alpha categorises the A2208 within its range of crown and drive components for 30mm tubular motors.

The motor size alone, however, doesn’t determine whether the A2208 is correct for a particular blind.

The crown and drive must also correspond with the roller tube being used.

Match the Crown & Drive to Your Roller Tube

If you’re replacing an existing motor, check the dimensions and internal profile of your roller tube before ordering.

A clear photograph looking directly into the end of the roller tube can help show its shape and internal features.

If you aren’t sure which component matches your existing blind, use our Match Your Existing Blind Tube to the Correct Crown & Drive guide.

The guide shows how to measure your existing tube and what photographs to provide to assist with matching.

Replacing an Existing Crown & Drive

If the existing crown and drive are still available, keep them when replacing the motor.

Their dimensions, shape and any visible identifying marks can provide useful information when determining the correct replacement components.

For the best chance of correctly matching an existing installation, provide:

• Roller tube measurements
• Clear photograph of the tube profile
• Photographs of the existing crown and drive
• Existing motor model where available
• Any visible component product codes

Why Correct Matching Matters

The drive transfers the motor’s rotation to the roller tube, allowing the blind to move.

The crown also forms part of the interface between the motor and compatible roller tube.

If these components don’t correspond with the tube profile, the motor may not correctly fit or operate the roller tube.

That’s why we shouldn’t describe the A2208 as universal simply because Alpha categorises it for 30mm motors.

Compatibility

Alpha’s supplied information confirms the A2208 as part of its Crowns & Drives for 30mm Motors range.

However, Alpha hasn’t provided a specific roller tube profile in the information supplied for this product.

Frontline Supply therefore recommends confirming the tube before purchasing rather than assuming compatibility.
