We all know how useful it is to have a motorized gate in the house. It allows you to return home without being affected by the weather conditions.
If you are searching for a swing gate motor to improve your days, this guide is for you.
How can you automate a garage?
Gate motors are the best solution for anyone who wants to return home quickly and easily without having too many hassles after a busy day.
Before buying the appropriated motor, you need to figure out which one suits you best. Currently, we have 2 different types of swing gates:
- Single-leaf swing gate: it has a single leaf that rotates on itself. There are no obstructions in the central stop but takes up a lot of space when opening.
- Swing gate with two leaves: it opens by rotating the swing doors on a fulcrum, towards the outside or inwards. The advantage of this gate is certainly the faster opening compared to the single leaf gate.
Once we determine the category of your gate or the one that would best suit your house, we can find the exact model.
How many types of swing gate motors exist?
Nowadays we can identify 4 categories of engines in the market:
- Linear motors: they are equipped with the best technology with ball screws, which guarantee high speed with medium-high power thrust performance. They are typically used as an alternative to hydraulic or pneumatic systems.
- Articulated motors: they are ideal for automating swing gates even with large pillars. The application behind the column makes the motor almost invisible from the outside of the gate: an excellent solution for those who do not want to damage the outside design.
- Hydraulic motors: they are generally the cheapest in their category but equally robust. They provide high torque and low speed performance by taking up very little space. In orbital hydraulic motors, the rollers are hydrodynamically supported; this reduces friction to a minimum and ensures long life and high performance even at high pressures.
- Underground motors: they differ in their sturdiness and discreet appearance that makes them almost invisible. This type of motor maintains the design of the entrance unchanged and is suitable for all types of gates. This solution is also perfectly suited to residence gates that require a large workload. For example, In the VDS catalog you will find the UNDER-V model – 230V-24V Underground Electromechanical Actuator.
