Repairing Becker R40/17PS when the awning no longer retracts properly

The Becker R40/17PS is an electronic sunshade drive from the Becker R series with 40 Nm of torque and 17 rpm, controlled via switch or remote control (no radio). If your awning still extends but no longer retracts smoothly or stops mid-stroke, the problem is almost always a failing component in the motor. We replace precisely this component, after which the drive will operate reliably in both directions again.

Note regarding usability: As long as the motor is defective, your awning will remain in its last extended position. An extended awning cannot be retracted in windy or rainy conditions and is therefore particularly vulnerable. We recommend having any detected defect repaired promptly.

Typical error pattern

  • The awning still extends, but it can no longer be fully retracted.
  • The motor runs weakly, slowly, or has become noticeably louder.
  • The motor stalls under load or responds only with a delay to the switch.

Which Awning is It Suitable For?

The Becker R40/17PS with 40 Nm is an electronic sun protection drive (switch-controlled, no radio) for folding-arm and cassette awnings, as well as external venetian blinds and screens. As a guideline, the 40 Nm setting is suitable for large awnings up to approximately 6 meters wide and 3.5 meters projected. A typical fault: The awning still extends, but cannot be retracted smoothly. The specifications of the awning or sun protection manufacturer remain the definitive source for sizing. In the case of a repair, this question is moot: Your existing motor is compatible; we will repair it.

Absolutely fantastic and fast – we had our repaired motor back just one week after sending it in and now have a working awning again. They also quickly helped us with our inquiry regarding a programming issue. Highly recommended!
