How to choose a sliding gate operator

• Gate weight – the most important parameter. Choose an operator with a reserve of at least 20 to 30 % above the actual weight of the gate. The operators in our range handle gates from 300 kg to 5,000 kg; use the filter to select them by maximum weight.
• Opening width – standard operators cover openings of 4 to 8 m, more powerful ones 10 to 14 m.
• Duty cycle – for a family house a 230 V operator for a few cycles a day is sufficient; for companies and blocks of flats we recommend 24 V heavy-duty operators. These are quieter and can be fitted with a battery backup.
• Toothed rack – transfers the force from the motor to the gate. For heavier gates we choose a steel rack; for lighter ones a plastic rack with a steel core is enough. You will find them in the Toothed racks category.

Brands

Came – the Italian pioneer of gate automation. The BX and BK series operators have been on the market for decades and stand out for their simple, robust design. The BXV series is among the powerful 24 V operators.

Safety

Every automatic gate needs photocells, which stop the gate when there is an obstacle, and we also recommend a flashing light. Complete kits often include them.
