Electric Curtains: From 'Manual Pull' to 'Seamless Smart Control' — Micro Motor-Driven Silent Revolution in Window Treatments

2026-08-31

Electric curtains are one of the most mature and widely-used applications of micro DC gear motors in smart homes. They have evolved from simple tools replacing manual operation into 'invisible' home devices that combine ultra-compact size, ultra-quiet operation, precise control, and full-home smart integration.

Industry Pain Points: Bulky, Noisy, Slow Smart Integration

Traditional electric curtain motors are relatively large, requiring more installation space, which affects home aesthetics. At the same time, motor noise is particularly noticeable in quiet environments like bedrooms, severely affecting user experience. In addition, traditional curtains lack deep integration with light or temperature control systems, making truly 'seamless' smart control hard to achieve.

Micro DC Gear Motor Solution

Electric curtains require a core power source that is compact, high-torque, low-noise, and energy-efficient. Motors use a reduction gearbox to convert high-speed, low-torque input into low-speed, high-torque output to smoothly drive curtain tracks. To suit home environments, motors are typically designed for safe voltages under 24V, with sizes shrinkable to around 37mm. Wenzhou TYHE Motor’s TJZ37FE 37mm series gear motors, thanks to their high-precision gear design, achieve quiet operation and smooth transmission, and are widely used in electric curtains, stage lighting, and more.

Typical Application Case

Wenzhou TYHE Motor independently developed the 37mm series micro DC gear motor, a mainstream power solution for the electric curtain market. The series uses high-precision gear transmission structures, with rated voltage of 7–24V and flexible speed options from 1 to 1000 rpm, output torque reaching 0.1–3.5 N·m, effectively meeting the smooth driving needs of different curtain track sizes. The products have full CE and ROHS safety certifications and are compatible with mainstream whole-home smart control platforms, supporting remote control, voice command, and light-sensing integration. Leveraging a 3,000-square-meter production workshop, over 150 models, and nearly 3 million units annual output, TYHE Motor provides cost-effective domestic drive solutions for the electric curtain industry.

Additional Details

Wenzhou TYHE Motor Co., Ltd., founded in 2010 and located in Aojiang Town, Pingyang County, Wenzhou, specializes in the development of micro DC gear motors. Its products cover four main types, over 150 models, including permanent magnet DC gear motors and DC planetary gear motors, exported to Europe, America, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. The company is equipped with CNC machining, heat treatment, comprehensive motor performance testing, and life testing facilities, fully implements the ISO9001 quality management system, strictly follows European CE safety standards, and holds 12 patents. In the wider field of automated window treatments, TYHE gear motors are also applied to blinds and sunshades, and provide power for gas valves, irrigation valves, gaming equipment, automatic pet feeders, and various other smart devices.
