Smoke Vent Systems Ltd. can provide a full range of chain, linear and folding arm actuators plus gas struts for both doors and windows.

SVS Ltd. supply actuators for the automation of windows and doors for natural ventilation purposes plus the replacement of existing actuators being used on AOV’s for smoke control purposes. These products should be installed by a qualified electrician or competent professional. If you are unsure of the correct motor for your application, or wish to obtain full specifications for the actuator you require, please contact us. Please check out our gallery below for more information. You can click on an image to enlarge it, or click on a product name to find out more information.

PLEASE NOTE: For new installs, regulations changed in July 2013 requiring all Smoke AOV’s to be harmonised units. This requires the actuator and vent to have been tested together to meet EN12101-2.
