Ferodo Forsa Uniko (ancient model)

The ferode of a roller shutter engine is a Piece that is responsible for providing friction and control in the engine braking system. Its main function is to allow the shutter to stop safely and prevent it from lowering by its own weight when the engine is not running.

Main functions of the Ferod in a blind motor:

• Controlled braking: Avoid the blind from falling abruptly by stopping the engine.
• Security: Ensures that the blind remains in the desired position when it is not in motion.
• Durability: Reduce the wear of the mechanism by providing adequate friction.
• Silence in the operation: Absorb vibrations and noises when braking or stopping the blind.

Over time, the Ferod can wear down, which can cause braking failures and that the blind moves involuntarily. If you notice that the shutter lowers alone or does not stop correctly, you may need replacement.
