Based on the weight of my sliding gate, what motor power is recommended?
Type of motor based on weight
The choice of motor power for a sliding gate is essential and must be proportional to the weight of the gate itself. Our catalog offers motors suitable for gates weighing between 300 kg and 5000 kg.
Weight guidelines for motor selection
- Up to 300 kg: Light motors, ideal for residential gates.
- From 300 kg to 1000 kg: Medium power motors, appropriate for large gates.
- From 1000 kg to 3000 kg: Heavy-duty motors, suitable for commercial and industrial gates.
- Over 3000 kg: High-power motors, designed for very large and heavy gates.
Calculating the load
In addition to the weight of the gate, it is important to consider the number of users who will operate the gate. A gate intended for intensive use, such as in an industrial area, will require a more powerful motor compared to a residential one, where usage is sporadic.
Factors to consider for motor power
- Usage frequency: Gates operated daily require more efficient motors.
- Environmental conditions: Environments with adverse weather conditions may need more robust motors.
- Safety: In cases of high safety requirements, it is advisable to opt for reliable, high-quality motors.
Conclusion
Based on the weight of your sliding gate, it is crucial to choose a motor with adequate power that can support the load and usage needs. Consulting weight guidelines and considering the users will help you make the best choice to ensure the proper functioning of the automation system.
