How to select the right series for you
Once calculated the A/C ratio of the gate, find the point on the graph (see here below) that corresponds
to the gate weight. The parts to be used are those whose curve is above this point. If the gate does not
have the weight distributed evenly use the second graph. The dotted lines refer to load conditions
acceptable in terms of safety, but are not ideal in terms of durability and functionality. For heavy duty
applications it is best to refer to the solid lines found within the given graph. Always keep in mind the
following information:
•
For P you have to consider the total weight of the gate, including the weight of all accessories.
•
A low A/C ratio translates into a better gate performance. A low ratio reduces the forces
involved, flection, rocking and wobbling effects.
•
It is recommended to have an A/C ratio bellow 3, in any case the value should always be
between 1 and 4 and never exceeding the 4 value.
•
Should you choose the 3000 Series, we recommended to keep the higher wheels towards the
outside.
•
To calculate the size and the loads acting on the gate, FAC provides a spreadsheet in Excel that
does all the calculations for each specific condition. For more information contact FAC or visit
