16G Shutter Dummy End (Light) – 16 Gauge Roller Shutter Dummy Bearing for Tube Motors

This 16G dummy end (light) is the bearing that fits the non motor end of a 16 gauge roller shutter barrel. The tube motor drives one end of the barrel and the dummy end supports the other, letting it turn smoothly.

The light version suits standard and lighter 16 gauge shutters. For heavier shutters choose our heavy duty dummy end.

Choosing the right 16G dummy end

Match it to your shutter gauge and barrel. For 9 gauge shutters choose our 9G heavy dummy end. Send us a photo of your old one if you are unsure.

Fitting tips

Before fitting a 16G dummy end, isolate the power and support the shutter curtain so it cannot drop. Check the barrel, brackets and bearings for wear, fit the new part, then set the open and closed limits carefully and test the shutter through several full cycles. Electrical work should always be carried out by a competent, qualified person. For more guidance, see the Electrical Safety First website.

Need help choosing?

Not sure which motor or bearing you need? Send us the width and height of your shutter, the gauge of the laths and a photo of the barrel end or old motor label. Our team regularly helps engineers and shop owners choose the right shutter parts, so the shutter is back in use quickly.

Care and maintenance

Have your roller shutter serviced regularly. Keep the guide rails clean and lubricated, check the curtain runs freely and listen for unusual noises. A shutter that drags or sticks puts extra load on the 16G dummy end and shortens its life.
