Automation for swing gates: what should you pay attention to when buying?

When designing at home, we increasingly turn to the automation of many processes. One of them is the automatic opening of the entrance gate. This is not only an extremely convenient function, but also a system for increasing the security of our property. Contemporary swing gate automation meets unique standards and works under any climatic conditions.

Sets for automation

Kits for the automation of swing gates are extremely easy to use and relatively easy to install mechanical and electrical components that, when properly installed and adjusted, will set the gate in motion with the help of electricity. The offer includes electromechanical drives, telescopic drives, simple drives.

1. For more demanding clients, complete automatic sets for underground installation are also being developed, which will inconspicuously open and close any gate.
2. Separate sets of drives are most often selected based on the weight of the gate and the diameter of the rack to which they are adapted.
3. Such differentiation strongly affects the weight and size of the gate, and the correct choice of automation elements for swing gates will be decisive in this case.

An important element that determines the choice of the correct drive is the distance from the axis of the hinge to the inner edge of the rack, the greater the distance, the more powerful the drive should be. Consequently, the opening time increases.

Currently, the company is developing truly unique gate opening automation systems. The completeness of each individual part and mechanism with reliable and safe technologies deserves special attention.

Recommendations of experts

The choice of the correct drive depends not only on the size of the gate, the configuration and the diameter of the rack, but also on the individual preferences of the user. 24V, 230V power supply drives are offered, some are characterized by safety, others by power. In addition, there is a version for clients who want to quickly enter or leave the property. Installations have magnetic limit switches and are opened with the help of an individual key. The obstacle detection function provides additional safety when opening and closing – a specially developed sensor stops the process at the moment when there is any element in the path of the gate.
