Highly recommended. I sent in a defective Selve brand motor and received it back repaired super quickly. I am completely satisfied and can only agree with the top reviews. I would send any future defective motors here again. Thank you.

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!

Absolut super und schnell - eine Woche nach Versand hatten wir unseren reparierten Motor schon zurück und haben jetzt wieder eine funktionierende Markise. Auch auf unsere Anfrage hinsichtlich eines Problems, das wir beim Programmieren hatten, wurde uns schnell geholfen. Klare Empfehlung!

Excellent service! Even after the initial repair attempt was unsuccessful, they immediately explored all possible solutions and then sent a replacement device. Very good and prompt responses, and superb service! I would use them again anytime!

Repairing Somfy Vulcan LS40 13/8: compact roller shutter motor, full service

The Somfy Vulcan LS40 13/8 is a compact SW40 plug-in motor for small, lightweight roller shutters, such as those on narrow windows, basement windows, or light wells. With 13 Nm of torque, it is wired and controlled via a switch. If it fails, repair is almost always worthwhile: Instead of replacing the entire motor, we replace the defective component and repair your original motor for a fixed price.

Typical defects on Vulcan LS40 13/8

The roller shutter no longer responds to the switch, or only responds with a delay.
The motor hums or runs audibly, but the blind does not move or only moves jerkily.
The roller shutter still goes down, but only goes up with manual assistance.

In most cases, the problem is a single defective component in the motor, not a total motor failure. We replace precisely that component instead of replacing the entire motor.

What happens during the repair

We open the drive unit, locate the defective component, replace it, and test the Vulcan LS40 13/8 under load. Only when it reliably raises and lowers the roller shutter again will it be returned to you.

When another service is suitable

If the motor tube is mechanically damaged or the drive is beyond repair, replacement is advisable; our replacement motor for the Vulcan LS40 13/8 is available for this purpose. For brake failures only, our targeted brake repair service can help.

Repair process

You commission the repair via the shopping cart and receive shipping instructions by email. You send the motor via Hermes to our Hermes ParcelShop, where we will personally accept it. The repair is carried out on the day it arrives, and you will receive the invoice by email on the same day. After payment is received, the drive unit is shipped back to you insured; for instant bank transfers, this occurs on the same day.

This service applies to the Somfy Vulcan LS40 13/8.

Suitable for Which Roller Shutter

The Somfy Vulcan 13/8 is a compact SW40 plug-in motor for small, lightweight roller shutters – for example, on narrow windows, basement windows, or light wells. With 13 Nm of torque, it moves the following slat sizes (guide values for SW40, roller shutter height up to approx. 2 m):

material	SW 40
Plastic (PVC)	up to approximately 7.8 m²
Aluminium (roll-formed, foam-filled)	up to approx. 6.1 m²
Wood / extruded aluminum	up to approximately 3.2 m²

The values are guidelines including approximately 10% friction allowance; actual material weights vary depending on the profile and manufacturer. In practice, with this compact drive, the blind width and installation situation often become the limiting factor before the torque. If you are operating at the limits, we recommend contacting us for a brief consultation.

Technical Data

Torque: 13 Nm
Speed: 8 revolutions per minute
Smallest shaft: SW 40
Total length including bearing: 470 mm
Power: 95 W
Brake type: Sliding brake
Control: wired (via switch)
