ᐅ Roller shutter without a stopper – what is the technical term?

Hello,
I happened to notice a item in my window quote called a stopper.
After some research, I found out that these are very ugly parts fixed on the outside of the roller shutter, used to detect the end position for the motor. Apparently, the motor recognizes it has fully closed by the increased torque.
I definitely don’t want these ugly parts on my roller shutter. However, there seem to be other solutions without stoppers.
What should I include in a request for quotation to make it clear to the supplier? Something like “electronic end position detection”?

End stops. That is the technical term – although everyone understands the phrase “I want the items without stops.”
However, this is only possible with the most expensive motor version.Don’t say things like that. I have very affordable Polish windows without end stops. And I know all the roller shutters from friends, and none of them have stops. These are usually only for manual operation using the traditional cord.S

In the last 18 months, I have purchased roller shutters for my own projects in both Poland and Germany (3 orders). All three companies only deliver without stoppers on request. It is basically a safety feature for the roller shutter, especially when you only have mechanical motors.
In der Ruine24 Oct 2022 08:03The following information from an online roller shutter store:
"With the roller shutter stopper (also called a bumper), you prevent belt-operated roller shutter slats from being fully retracted into the roller shutter box. This avoids problems when lowering the roller shutter again. The shutter slats could become jammed or stuck inside the box. Therefore, we recommend using it with EVERY belt-operated roller shutter. For motor-operated roller shutters, however, the stop points are programmed – so roller shutter stoppers are not necessarily required in this case."
But if there are shops that include the stopper as a standard feature, then that must be the case. Very strange.

Request a two-part angled end rail.
We also installed these with our Somfy Oximo motors.
With electronic motors, you can’t avoid the stoppers or the rail.
Since they are two-part, you can easily unclasp them to, for example, replace the roller shutter slats or if something breaks with the motor and the shutter needs to be operated manually.
The rail is hardly noticeable.

I actually thought that a "stop strip" was standard nowadays. We have it installed too, and I never really gave it a second thought 😀
I really need to keep an eye out to see if any houses nearby still have the traditional two stoppers. I would never have noticed otherwise.
