Sliding gate motor

Consideration should be given to where the motor will be installed before purchasing it, as it needs a good anchor to the ground that will not move or become loose over time.

Normally the motor is placed just below the rollers that hold the sliding gate, as this will ensure optimum performance and correct use over time.

What to consider before automating your sliding gate

It is also necessary to check the gate where the sliding gate motor is to be installed. A distance of 9 to 15 centimetres from the ground to the bottom of the rack tooth is required in order for the motor pinion to fit properly. The distance to be left will depend on the motor model used.

ERREKA recommends choosing a motor with greater maximum drag weight than the weight of the gate. This will ensure the motor has plenty of power to move the gate, meaning less wear than if it at the very limit.

Type of use (intensive or residential) is another factor to take into account in the motor model, with the intensive type recommended for neighbourhood communities, parking lots, etc., and the residential type for family homes or small businesses.

This will ensure the motor continues to move the gate with the same ease thanks to its superior capacity, even despite the wear caused by dust or rain.
