Roller blinds
I know this is a term can be translated in several ways depending on the context but I´m really not sure when it comes to roller blinds. Here is the context:
Motor: De tipo centro eje para uso domestico y lateral para uso industrial
Thanks for your help.

side mounted
I'm guessing that the use of "lateral" in this context, refers to the whole drive unit (motor) and not necessarily includes "eje" which only describes the placement of the motor for domestic models. I remember seeing some of these industrial roller blind in warehouses and the drive unit is mounted on the wall, with a chain connecting it to a sprocket mounted on the axel.
