Abstract: A motorized window treatment may include a roller tube, a flexible material attached to the roller tube, and a motor drive unit. The motor drive unit may be disposed within a cavity of the roller tube. The motor drive unit may include a motor, a gear assembly, and a shaft stabilization member. The motor may include a drive shaft extending from a drive end of the motor and a rear shaft extending from a non-drive end of the motor. The drive shaft and the rear shaft may be configured to rotate about a longitudinal axis. The gear assembly may be operatively coupled to the roller tube and the drive shaft. The shaft stabilization member may be operatively coupled to the rear shaft. The shaft stabilization member may be configured to dampen axial and/or radial forces in the motor drive unit.

Abstract: A motorized window treatment includes a motor drive unit having a motor and a covering material having a first end in a fixed position and a second end movable along a first axis. The covering material is configured to be extended along a first axis when the motor is operated in a first direction and retraced along the first axis when the motor is operated in a second direction. A hembar is coupled to the second end of the covering material. At least one state sensing circuit is coupled to the hembar and is configured to generate at least one first signal. A control circuit is configured to determine a present state of the hembar based on the at least one first signal. The motor drive unit is configured to control the motor when the present state of the hembar and an expected state of the hembar are different.
