Learn More About Rollease R-Series RB360 Brackets:
Constructing professional grade window treatments requires dependable hardware that can withstand daily use without failure. The Rollease Acmeda R-Series system has been the global industry standard for over three decades, and the Rollease RB360 Brackets are an essential component for completing a flawless installation. This specific set of mounting brackets is explicitly designed to support roller shades utilizing the popular R3 and R8 clutch mechanisms.
Crafted from heavy duty electroplated metal, these installation brackets offer superior load bearing capacity and long lasting durability against rust and general wear. Every order includes a complete pair consisting of two distinct brackets. The first bracket features a fixed tab that securely locks into the clutch mechanism on the drive side. The second bracket is designed with a V notch and a secure locking latch to firmly hold the idle end plug in place. This secure locking mechanism guarantees that your heavy shade tube will not slip, detach, or fall during regular operation.
Primary Applications:
Residential Window Shades: When building standard light filtering or blackout roller shades for residential homes, the RB360 bracket is the absolute go to choice for medium sized windows. The 1.5 inch projection places the center of the tube at an optimal distance from the mounting surface, ensuring the fabric clears window mullions and operates seamlessly.
Commercial Roller Systems: Offices, restaurants, and commercial spaces rely heavily on manual roller shades for daily glare reduction. When paired with heavy duty Rollease Parts R Series Clutches, these metal brackets provide the structural integrity required to handle constant adjustments by employees and staff over many years.
Motorized Shade Installations: In addition to manual clutch systems, the versatile RB360 bracket design is also perfectly compatible with several low voltage motorized shade systems, including specific Somfy ST30 and LT30 series motors. This makes them highly adaptable for smart home upgrades and automated luxury architectural spaces.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
1. What is the projection and maximum roll diameter for the RB360 brackets?
The RB360 bracket has a projection distance of exactly 1.5 inches. This measurement indicates the distance from the wall or ceiling mounting surface to the exact center of the roller tube. Because of this specific projection, the absolute maximum roll diameter it can safely accommodate without the rolled fabric rubbing against the wall is 2.75 inches.
2. How do I know if I need the RB360 or the larger RB380 bracket?
Your bracket choice depends entirely on the thickness of your specific shade fabric and the overall length of the drop, which dictates the total roll diameter when the shade is fully raised. If your fully rolled fabric creates a diameter larger than 2.75 inches, the fabric will scrape against the wall with an RB360. In that scenario, you must upgrade to the larger RB380 or RB390 brackets, which offer a significantly deeper projection.
3. Are these brackets sold individually or as a complete set?
We sell the RB360 brackets as a complete pair. Each set includes one drive side bracket featuring the mounting tab for your clutch, and one idle side bracket featuring the V notch and locking latch mechanism for your end plug. You only need to order one pair per roller shade.
4. Do the RB360 brackets work for ceiling mounts as well as wall mounts?
Yes. The mounting plates on these brackets feature pre drilled screw holes strategically placed to support top mounting directly into a ceiling, face mounting onto a flat wall, or side mounting directly into the inner wooden jamb of a standard window frame. This universal design provides incredible flexibility for any complex installation scenario.
5. Which control chains are recommended for use with this hardware system?
For the smoothest and most reliable operation, we highly recommend pairing your R-Series clutch and RB360 brackets with our premium continuous bead chains. Depending on the exact clutch model you select and your aesthetic preferences, you can choose between our durable #10 Plastic Bead Control Chain or our heavy duty #10 Metal Control Beaded Chain from our Chain and Control Cords collection.
