You don’t know how to automate the swing gate or you don’t know which automation fit better your needs? Here are our tips on how to choose the ideal swing gate automation for you. VDS Automation: your operator for swing gates.
How to choose the swing gate automation: technical advice
Let’s start from the beginning by defining what a swing gate is: this type of gate has one or two leaves that rotate on a central pivot allowing the opening and closing towards the inside or the outside of the property, according to the space availability.
The electric swing gate, in addition to being functional for its practical remote-controlled opening, is also very elegant and can be customized to create a dramatic entrance to your home.

But how to choose the most suitable swing gate automation? First of all, a series of assessments and distinctions must be made.
The size is the first point to take into consideration because a two-leaf electric gate will have a bigger weight and size than a swing gate with only one leaf, and consequently the motor must be more performing and resistant to support the load opening and closing.
It’s essential to pay attention to the frequency of use, since if the swing gate is installed at the entrance to a condominium residence, it will certainly be operated a number of times greater than a gate installed for a private villa.
So once these points have been defined, you can begin to define the swing gate automation that best suits your gate.
For an electric swing gate that has a size between 1.80 meters up to 3.50 meters, we recommend using an electromechanical operation that ensures maximum performance.
While for gates that exceed 4 meters and consequently have a heavier weight, the oleodynamic or hydraulic operation lends itself to being the most suitable to facilitate automated opening and closing without overloading the motor.
