4. Setup and Installation
Proper installation of the articulated bearing plate is crucial for the efficient and secure operation of your roller shutter system. Follow these steps carefully.
4.1 Mounting Location
The bearing plate can be securely fixed to the roller shutter box, window frame, or wall. Ensure the chosen surface is stable and capable of supporting the forces exerted during shutter operation.
4.2 Attaching the Bearing Plate
- Position the articulated bearing plate at the desired mounting location.
- Mark the positions for the four drill holes. The plate has a 42 mm hole spacing for secure fixation.
- Drill pilot holes if necessary, suitable for your mounting screws (screws not included).
- Securely fasten the bearing plate using appropriate screws.

4.3 Connecting the Crank Rod
The tenon of the articulated bearing plate is designed to pivot 180 degrees in all directions, allowing flexible connection. It is compatible with roller shutter crank rods that have an inner diameter of 13 mm.
- Align the crank rod with the tenon of the articulated bearing plate.
- Insert the crank rod into the tenon. The connection is designed for quick and tool-free assembly.
- Ensure the crank rod is firmly seated and can pivot freely within the bearing plate.

5. Operation
Once installed, the articulated bearing plate allows for smooth and efficient operation of your crank-operated roller shutters. The 50-degree pivot range ensures that the crank rod can be moved comfortably to raise or lower the shutter.
- To raise the shutter, turn the crank rod in the appropriate direction (usually clockwise).
- To lower the shutter, turn the crank rod in the opposite direction (usually counter-clockwise).
- The articulated joint provides flexibility, allowing the crank rod to be positioned optimally for ease of use.
6. Maintenance
The Schellenberg 11119 Articulated Bearing Plate is designed for durability and minimal maintenance. The integrated plastic seal contributes to maximum insulation and protects the internal mechanism.
- Periodically inspect the bearing plate and its mounting for any signs of wear or loosening.
- Keep the area around the bearing plate clean to prevent accumulation of dust or debris that could hinder smooth operation.
- No lubrication is typically required for the articulated joint.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your articulated bearing plate, consider the following:
- Crank rod not connecting smoothly: Ensure the crank rod has an inner diameter of 13 mm. Check for any obstructions or damage to the tenon or the rod.
- Excessive play or stiffness: Verify that the bearing plate is securely mounted and that all screws are tightened. Inspect the articulated joint for any visible damage.
- Reduced insulation: Check the plastic seal for damage or displacement. Ensure it is properly seated against the mounting surface.
