Alpha WSER60 100/12 Universal Motor

The Alpha WSER60 100/12 Universal Motor is the super-heavy-duty motor in Alpha’s WSER radio motor family, delivering an impressive 100Nm of rated torque for demanding motorised awning applications.

Designed for installations requiring considerably more torque than Alpha’s smaller WSER motors, the WSER60 combines a large 60mm tubular motor body, electronic limit control, built-in radio receiver and wireless limit setting.

Despite its heavy-duty specifications, Alpha identifies the WSER60 as a Universal motor and specifically confirms its suitability for extra-large folding-arm awnings, including installations incorporating additional safety functionality from compatible motion and wind sensors.

Super-Heavy-Duty WSER Motor

Alpha describes the WSER60 100/12 as the super-heavy-duty version of the WSER family.

It delivers:

100Nm rated torque

12 rpm output speed

That places it substantially above the 20Nm, 30Nm and 50Nm motors we’ve already added to the Frontline Supply WSER range.

The additional torque is intended for substantially larger and heavier compatible systems where the smaller WSER motors don’t provide sufficient capacity.

Designed for Large Awning Applications

The WSER60 100/12 is designed for awning applications and can be used with extra-large folding-arm awnings when correctly matched to the system.

A large folding-arm awning places significant demands on its motor because the motor must operate a considerably larger mechanical system than a standard internal blind or smaller external awning.

The 100Nm torque rating gives the WSER60 the capacity required for compatible heavy-duty installations.

Correct motor selection should always consider the complete awning system, including its size, weight, roller tube, projection and manufacturer’s specifications.

Extra-Large Folding-Arm Awning Compatibility

An important distinction with the Alpha WSER60 100/12 Universal Motor is that Alpha specifically confirms compatibility with extra-large folding-arm awnings.

This isn’t simply a larger motor intended only for basic open-and-close operation.

Alpha also confirms that compatible folding-arm installations can retain the additional safety functionality provided by motion and wind sensors.

That makes the WSER60 particularly useful where a high-torque motor is required without giving up the protective sensor functionality available in Alpha’s awning-control ecosystem.

Motion and Wind Sensor Support

Alpha states that the WSER60 100/12 can be used with the additional safety features provided by compatible motion and wind sensors.

These sensors can provide automated protective responses for compatible external awning installations.

For Frontline Supply, I would keep the accessory wording at Alpha Motion Sensors and Alpha Wind Sensors on this page rather than naming individual models unless Alpha separately confirms the exact sensor model compatibility with the WSER60.

That keeps the product page accurate to Alpha’s supplied specifications.

100Nm Rated Torque

The standout specification is its 100Nm rated torque.

The motor operates at 12 rpm, providing the combination of high torque and controlled rotational speed required for compatible heavy-duty awning systems.

Nominal electrical consumption is 370W, with a nominal current of 1.60A from a 240V supply.

The motor has a specified running time of four minutes.

60mm Diameter Motor

Unlike the 45mm WSER50 motors, the Alpha WSER60 uses a substantially larger 60mm diameter motor body.

This larger physical size is necessary to accommodate the motor’s heavy-duty design and output.

It also creates important roller-tube requirements that need to be considered before purchasing or installing the motor.

Minimum Tube Requirements

Because of the WSER60’s larger diameter, Alpha specifies minimum tube sizes.

The smallest compatible tubes stated by Alpha are:

78mm galvanised round tube with keyway

or

70mm octagonal roller shutter tube

This is important compatibility information and should be clearly stated on the Frontline product page.

The WSER60 should not be selected for a system using a roller tube that cannot physically accommodate the larger motor.

Built-In Radio Receiver

The WSER60 incorporates a built-in radio receiver, allowing wireless operation using compatible Alpha remote-control equipment.

This eliminates the need for a separate external radio receiver for normal compatible radio operation.

The motor also incorporates an external antenna as part of its radio system.

Electronic Limit Switch

The Alpha WSER60 100/12 Universal Motor uses an electronic limit switch.

Its stopping positions can therefore be electronically configured rather than relying on conventional mechanical limit adjustment.

Alpha specifies Infinity for maximum turns, providing flexibility when setting the motor’s travel for compatible installations.

Wireless Limit Setting

The motor supports wireless limit setting, allowing its electronic stopping positions to be configured using compatible Alpha radio-control equipment.

This is particularly useful with large awning installations where direct physical access to the motor can be difficult after installation.

Included Components

Alpha supplies the WSER60 100/12 with:

A2502 C&D

A3006-01 Motor Bracket

These components are specifically identified for this motor and should be retained in the Frontline product specifications so customers and installers can clearly see what Alpha supplies with the motor.
