A gate motor is a special type of electrical motor which is specifically designed to open and close access points. Gate motors are often installed for security measures and convenience, but these electric motors are also used for automatic gates at home, in parking lots, and other areas where an automated gateway is beneficial.
A gate motor is different from other types of motors because its usage is restricted to opening or closing a set of doors or gates.
Electric gate motors come in a variety of sizes, depending on the size of the gate they are meant to operate and we will assist in the determination of the one fit for you. They also come with a variety of features, such as the capacity to regulate their speed of opening and closing, or the option of automation. Electric gate motors are among some of the most used types of electric motors in homes where automated gates are common.
Electric gate motors may be powered by any type of electricity, including solar energy or batteries (in cases where there is no power source available). A plus with the current loadshedding crisis.
These motors are usually used in tandem with an electronic control system, which controls the speed at which the gate opens and closes. This is especially helpful if there are obstacles in between the opening of the gate and the actual gate itself. For example, if there is a car parked in between the gate or trash can, the electronic control system will instruct the gate to close more slowly and even stop so as not to hit either the car or the trash can.
Benefits of Using Gate Motors
Gate motors can be used for many different applications and can have many different benefits. Gate motors can be used to automatically open and close gateways when triggered by a sensor, such as a motion sensor.
Gateways that are controlled by gate motors can also be controlled manually, which can be useful for situations where a sensor is not practical.
The gate motors can be triggered by sensors and can also be manually controlled.
The primary benefits are:
- Security. An automatic gate on your property will restrict vehicle and pedestrian access to your home or workplace. ...
