Introduction to Underground Automation for Swing Gates
Underground automation for swing gates is the ideal solution for those who want to combine efficiency, aesthetics, and discretion. This type of automation allows for the movement of gate leaves without any external visual impact, making it perfect for residential settings, historic villas, or situations where architectural integrity is a priority.
Thanks to the completely underground placement of the motors, underground automation is particularly suitable for existing gates, without the need for obvious aesthetic or structural modifications.
How Underground Motors Work
Underground motors are installed at the base of the gate's supporting columns, in special foundation boxes, protected by durable covers. The movement of the leaf occurs via an arm connected to the motor and fixed to the gate, providing precise and silent force. The opening angle can reach up to 125°, ensuring a wide range of motion.
The waterproofing and mechanical protection make these systems ideal even under adverse weather conditions, requiring very little maintenance over time.
Advantages of Underground Automation
1. Total Invisibility
One of the main advantages is the absolute invisibility of the system: the motor is completely hidden underground, preserving the original design of the gate. This is a particularly appreciated choice in elegant contexts or where there are landscape and architectural constraints.
2. Maximum Resistance and Protection
Thanks to the die-cast aluminum structure and the certified IP67 waterproofing, underground motors resist water, dust, and weather conditions. The motor and gearbox in oil bath ensure smooth and long-lasting operation, even under intense use.
3. Safety and Control
Modern underground systems are equipped with obstacle detection features, manual unlocking with a dedicated key, and remote control via Rolling Code remote. The integrated antenna and sealed control unit enhance the system's reliability in every season.
4. Versatility of Installation
Underground motors are perfect for both new installations and retrofitting existing gates, even in wrought iron or handcrafted models. The ability to move leaves up to 2.5 meters wide and 500 kg (with electric locking) makes them suitable for large entrances or condominium contexts.
