Arms

Feature

  All Sunair arm parts under stress are made of forged aluminum.
  All arms 8′7" and above use three heavy dury steel springs. All projections up to 6′11" use two steel springs.

Benefit

  Forged aluminum is far superior to castings and 13' projection arms can be made with a continuous safety margin.
  Heavy duty steel springs are more durable and provide longer life under maximum tension.
Flexibility

  Sunair's arm uses the strongest materials on the market yet is engineered for flexibility with a unique two way movable front arm attachment.

  A two way movable front coupling relieves strain, increases the flexibility in the arm and helps to reduce the possibility of wind damage. This feature is unique in the industry.
Hinge

  Sunair's hinge uses twin galvanized tinned steel cables over a specially engineered elliptical shaped radius.

The hinge is triple angled.

  Twin cables are far superior to a single cable. Cable wear is reduced to a minimum and allows heavier tension in the arm. The elliptical shaped cable radius increases tension in the springs as the arm is extended where tension is mostly needed. The angles in the hinge allow each arm to flex independently, thus absorbing stress during wind gusts helping to eliminate damage.
Gears

  Sunair uses a heavy duty 3:1 ratio bevel gear with a stop. A 14:1 ratio gear is used on larger widths.

  The 3:1 ratio gear is the most efficient gear made. It minimizes the time and effort in retracing and extending the awning. The stop eliminates fabric damage which could occur from over rolling past the projection of the arm.
Brackets

  All Sunair brackets are made of heavy duty extruded aluminum electro statically powder coated to the highest standards.

  An extruded part is far superior and stronger than die castings or permanent mold casting. Electrostatic powder coating is ore resistant to cracking and chipping than wet lacquer. All Sunair components and extrusions are powder coated.
