The aspects to take into account when choosing the
sliding gate motor are the following:
1. Door
weight
The weight of the door directly influences the
power that the motor must have to drag it, in this way knowing the weight we
can choose one motor or another. Comment that the weight of an average door of
about 4 meters is usually between 100 and 400 kg, depending on the material it
is made of. If it is solid or not, or if it has plates or tubes, a motor that
drives doors of 400 kg should generally suffice. More important than the weight
is that the door is well greased and the bearings are in good condition,
otherwise the motor will surely not work. In the event that the door is very
heavy, there are motors that drag 600 kg, or even much more.
2. Door
length
The length influences the travel of the motor, in
many cases having a limit of meters, in addition the length directly influences
the weight of the door.
3. Type of
installation
The usual thing in an electrical installation is
that it works with energy from 110 to 220v, however there are motors that have
the possibility of working at 24v, which allows them to be connected directly
to batteries for their operation. This is very useful also when there is no
possibility to bring electrical current to the motor.
4. Number of
cycles or openings
An engine for private use is not the same as an
engine for community use. An engine for private use is prepared to operate an
average of 20-30 daily openings, however an engine for community use can
multiply these cycles by 10, as its architecture is much more resistant and
adequate.
In addition to these aspects, when choosing a door
motor, the speed of opening, its noise during opening, also the possibility of
programmable soft stop or the option of pedestrian opening are important.
