4.1
CALCULATION OF THE NECESSARY FORCE
The calculation is made without considering the loads due to atmospheric agents.
Symbology F (N) = Force required to open the panel (mobile part of the window);
P (Kg) = Weight of the panel (mobile part of the window);
C (cm) = Actuator opening stroke;
H (cm) = Height of the panel (movable part of the window).

( C ÷ H ) x ( P ÷ 2 ) = F Kg

F (Kg) x 9,8 = N F (N)
P
In the case of Hinged or Pantograph windows, the force must only overcome the friction of the hinge.
