A gate is a just a gate, right?
Well, there are differences between a five-bar gate and an industrial security
gate. And swing gates operate very differently from sliding gates. And sliding
gates are like cantilever gates but only one needs a track.
So, with
all these differences and variations in size, weight, materials, location and
operation, how do you choose the right gate automation to turn manual gates
into automated gates? Here’s our starter guide to the different types of gate
automation available and what works best where.
Swing Gates
Swing gates
have the largest range of automation systems. There are ram style motors,
articulated arm motors and underground and in-post gate operators.
Articulated Arms
Articulated
arm motors have a jointed metal arm attached to a motor output. The motor
housing is mounted to the gate post and the end of the arm is attached to the
gate. When the motor turns, the articulated arm opens or closes the gate.
Underground
and In-post motors
Underground
motors and in-post motors are discrete gate operators and are either sunk into
pits beneath the gate hinge point or installed within the gate post. Arms
connected to the hidden gate motors are then attached to the base of the gate.
Sliding
Gates
Sliding
gate motors push a single rolling gate along a track mounted along the gate’s
travel. A gear mounted on the motor output shaft and protruding from the motor
housing meshes with a rack mounted along the length of the gate.
Cantilever gates work in a similar way but don’t need track along their length
as they’re counter-balanced around a single rolling support point.
