What you need to know before choosing the gearmotor for a sliding gate
Automating the entrance gates to private homes (and companies) is a great solution that brings comfort (since you do not have to open the door manually) and security to buildings (These doors do not have a lock and can only be unlocked from an automated system installed inside the building).
The gear motor system allows the sliding door to respond to open and close commands and enforce safety and locking standards. This system is one of the most important aspects of an automatic door. Here's why it matters and which one to choose.
A gear motor is a compact drive unit consisting of a gear box and an electric motor. The idea came from the German Albert Obermoser, who in 1928 combined these components to design the first-ever geared motor.
Models have evolved over the years, as have the lifespan, performance and power of individual parts of the gear motor.
In the world of automatic sliding gate, its use has become extremely important.
To choose the most suitable geared motor, you need to know what power is required. Some factors can help you, such as the size and weight of the gate, the length of the stroke and its location.
The secret behind the correct selection of the best gear motor for sliding doors lies in relying on long-established brands such as OSSDEN, which has been manufacturing door automation in Italy for over 30 years thanks to the commitment of trained and experienced technicians.
