What it's called
A zip screen motor is called a tubular motor in the industry: a motor installed inside the screen's roller tube that raises and lowers the fabric along its side guides.
In German: Zip-Screen, Senkrechtmarkise. In French: store zip, screen zip.
Find the right size
Rule of thumb: required torque ≈ weight × 9.81 × tube radius × 2, and the motor body must be at least 5 mm smaller than the tube. Confirm with the manufacturer's sizing table.
