SX™ Series Clutch: High-Durability Performance

The SX™ clutch is our workhorse system, designed for long-term commercial use. It prioritizes mechanical longevity and installer efficiency with several key features:

  • Precision Engineering: Equipped with a steel bearing and shim for superior durability and wear resistance.

S-Clutch: Enhanced Security and Flexibility

The S-Clutch is specifically engineered for projects requiring maximum stability and versatile chain positioning:

  • Triple-Hook Engagement: Features three high-strength hooks that lock the clutch into the bracket, keeping the roller shade exceptionally secure during operation.
  • Omnidirectional Chain Guide: The chain guide is installed directly onto the brackets, allowing the beaded chain to be pulled from any angle without snagging.

The APEX™ system is our most refined manual control option, offering a minimalist footprint without sacrificing strength:

  • Versatile Mounting: Optimized for both ceiling and wall-mount configurations.
