An ideal automated gate system starts with the choice of motor to use to match your needs. The motor, be it in residential privacy, commercial security or industrial access control is the core of the operation and determines performance, reliability and longevity. In simple cases of unique or custom-designed gates, a one-size-fits-all strategy would not be very viable. With its experience of smart door control solutions, OUTUS offers customized motor solutions to Residential Electric Doors and specialized gate systems, which allow smooth integration and high performance even of the most unique gate designs.
Learning the Various kinds of Gate Motors.
The choice of the appropriate type of motor is the initial stage of automation. The option mainly relies on the movement style of the gates and the use demands.
Sliding Gate Motors: These are suitable in situations where there is little space to swing. These powerful motors are used to move heavy gates up and down on a fixed rack using a gear. OUTUS provides strong sliding motors to be used on long span industrial gates and high security gates.
Swing Gate Operators: These are applied in gates that swing either inwards or outwards. These are usually of articulated arm or hydraulic cylinder types. The articulated arm operators are economic on the normal residential gates whereas the hydraulic systems give more strength and more maneuverability on the heavier and highly utilized gates. Access control systems can be combined with OUTUS swing operators, which would make them more secure.
Determining the Gate Weight and Size to use to select a Motor.
The power of a motor should be such that it is capable of withstanding the physical requirement of the gate. A small motor will work hard and break sooner, and a large motor is just a waste of money.
Measure the Total Weight: Measure the weight of the gate carefully. This calculation can be made with the help of OUTUS technical team with references to such materials as wrought iron, aluminum, or wood.
Take Size and Dimensions into account: Length of a sliding gate or width of a swing gate directly influence the amount of torque that is needed. The bigger gates produce greater friction and wind loading requiring a stronger motor.
Frequency of Use: A motor of a high duty cycle is needed to serve a gate in a busy commercial or industrial facility than one needed by a home. OUTUS motors are of varying usage grades, which guarantees long-life of all grades.
Influencing Factors of Motor Performance and Durability.
Other than mere size and type, there are various other considerations which are important in the long term satisfaction.
Power Source and Voltage: be sure that your motor is powered on your available power supply (e.g., 230 V AC or 24 V DC is safe). OUTUS offers choices that are applicable to different electrical standards.
Safety Features: Check the safety features such as obstacle detection which auto reverses the gate when an obstruction is detected, and a manual release that can be used in the event of power outage.
Environmental Resistance: In the case of outdoor installations, the motor housing should be able to survive the local weather. The OUTUS motors have strong and durable weather resistant enclosure, which is resistant to corrosion, dust and moistness.
Control and Integration: The conveniences of today are provided with such features as a remote control, a smartphone application integration, and compatibility with Automatic Door Operators to provide single property access control.
Specialization of Motor Solutions to Irregular or Unique Gates.
The gates are not necessarily rectangles. Arched tops, odd geometric shapes or very heavy materials demand a special treatment.
Custom Mounting Solutions: OUTUS engineers are able to develop custom mounting brackets and mounting hardware to match non-standard gate structures or posts.
Variable Speed and Force Control: In sensitive or complicated gates, the speed and force of opening and closing can be adjusted with fine adjustment to guarantee that the gates run smoothly, gently, and safely.
Extra-Large Gate Tandem Systems: Gate tandem systems may be applied on very wide or heavy single-leaf or sliding gates. OUTUS is able to match the two motors together that operate in perfect unison, and share the load.
Consultation and Support: A professional consultation is the most important action that can be taken towards a unique gate. OUTUS offers a professional evaluation of the site and technical assistance to design a motor solution that perfectly corresponds to the peculiarities of the gate and functional needs of the owner.
The selection of the appropriate motor is a technical choice which determines the performance and the life expectancy of your automated gate system. With a clear look at the physical characteristics of the gate, the purpose of its implementation, and the specific problems, and with the help of an optimal partner like OUTUS, you can afford a stable, safe, and flawlessly customized automated entry system.
