Gate automation – Which electric gate drive to choose?
The entrance gate is an extremely important element of the fence. When we decide whether to choose a double-leaf, sliding or telescopic gate. We will have to choose an appropriate electric drive for it.
There is probably no need to mention to anyone the advantages of remotely opening the gate with a remote control, when without leaving the warm car, we can get out of it in the garage with dry feet and a dry head.
The drive to the gate requires a power connection. Therefore, already at the stage of building a house and laying cobblestones, it is worth thinking about bringing the wiring to the gate and the fence gate (under the intercom, electric strike, etc.).
What determines the choice of an electric drive for the gate?
When we have to choose an electric gate drive, we should consider some important factors:
1) The number of opening and closing cycles of the gate.
2) Gate weight – actuators should be selected so that they do not work at the maximum load given by the manufacturer of the drive. This will certainly have a positive effect on their lifespan.
3) The width of the gate leaf.
