elero
Electric drive and actuators for demanding applications
Southern Africa (South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Zambia)
elero is the Nice Group's German specialist in sun-shading and drive technology. Its range runs from tubular motors for roller shutters, awnings, and blinds to linear actuators for active facades, pergolas, and solar tracking. elero drives are built to run quietly and protect the shading, with soft brakes, self-learning limit switches, and obstacle detection. They operate wired or on secure 868 MHz radio and integrate with KNX, LON, and Yubii smart-home control.
Why elero?
elero is the Nice Group's German brand for sun-shading and drive technology, spanning tubular motors, venetian blind drives, rolling door drives, and linear actuators.
One brand covers roller shutters, awnings, venetian blinds, rolling doors, active facades, pergolas, and solar tracking. Motor, control, and sensor come from a single matched range.
Wear-free soft brakes, self-learning limit switches, and obstacle detection start and stop quietly. They protect the fabric, the slats, and the shaft across years of daily cycles.
elero drives run wired or on secure 868 MHz bidirectional radio. They integrate with KNX and LON building buses and the Yubii smart-home system for automated, sensor-driven control.
elero products available through DNH
DNH supplies elero's four main drive families throught Southern Africa. Every drive in the range is built to run quietly and protect the fabric, slats, or shaft it's driving.
elero tubular drives for roller shutters, awnings, blinds, screens and rolling doors. Soft brake and self-learning limit switches protect the fabric and the shaft.
elero JA drives for indoor and outdoor venetian blinds. The Soft variants add a wear-free, noiseless brake for quiet starting and stopping on large facades.
elero drives for small to heavy roller doors, roller grilles, and lockable roller shutters. NMA versions add emergency manual operation for power-failure egress.
elero linear actuators position facade louvres, solar panels, pergola roofs, and vents to the millimetre. They drive active facades, dual-axis solar tracking, pergolas, agricultural and greenhouse ventilation, and industrial positioning.
Where elero fits in your industry
elero systems run on sun-shading, facade, and ventilation applications across building and industrial sites. The two below are the strongest fit.
Application examples
DNH supplies elero actuators to Ventrite for the mine ventilation control panels it builds for South African mining operations.
elero's own reference projects in South Africa include the BMW Group building in Midrand, where the LIMAline 150 drive system controls around 500 m2 of vertical glass louvres, adjusting them to the sun to manage light and heat on the facade.
