Gates can be automated using electro-hydraulic or electro-mechanical operators. Generally the rate of expected use and the physical size of the gates will determine the type of operator to choose.These operators can incorporate locking or be supplemented by an electric lock.
The underground system is the new way of opening and closing residential gates with leaves of up to 2.5 metres in length. As is completely invisible, it does not change the appearance of the gate.
Anti-crushing protection is ensured by an electronic device installed on the 410 MPS – 450 MPS equipment, which directly controls drive torque. In case of an emergency, manual operation is assured by a special lever release system with customised key, accessible from both inside and outside.
The 770 model design includes a casing to house automated systems for gates of up to 500 kg per leaf, making installation simple. Corrosion-proof coating highly resistant to atmospheric agents, absolute weather-proofing, operator in protection class IP 67: all these are plus points in addition to the undoubted advantages of long-life and safety assured by electro-mechanical technology.
Over ground automations are quick and easy to install. There is no need for expensive modifications to the existing load bearing structure. Use of electro-mechanical technology makes the 390 automatic system ideal for light duty applications.
The 390 electro-mechanical actuator is the most practical and economic choice for automating gates on large pillars. The non reversing movement of the actuator, for gates with length of up to 1.8 metres, means an electrical lock is not needed.
The 844 gearmotor was designed to move the heaviest commercial or industrial gates in the simplest, most convenient way.
The special twin-disk anti-crushing clutch, in oil bath, enables thrust adjustment from 0 to 110 daN. As the gearmotor is non reversing, no electric locks need be installed and, in the event of power failure, the key-operated release device makes it possible to open and close the gate manually. Long life constant, complete oil-bath lubrication of mechanical components plus assembly in a high resistance pressure-cast aluminium body ensure a very long life.
