GATE CONFIGURATION
How far must the gate wing open?
90 degrees or up to 115 degrees. An opening angle in excess of 115 degrees is possible but is not recommended. Reason: the drive mechanism
always runs at the same speed. The further the gate has to be opened, the faster the wing must travel. Movement becomes more erratic and this
subjects the fittings and gate to extreme stresses. Different opening angles cause one motor to reach its destination first, but continues to run,
thereby forcing the gate up against the gate stop until the other motor eventually reaches its end position.
GATE STOPS
A SWING GATE NEEDS A FIXED GATE STOP IN BOTH THE OPEN AND CLOSE POSITIONS. Gate stops save wear and tear on the motor,
gate and fittings. Operating a gate without fixed limit stops results in poor performance. It is often dangerous, leads to premature wear and voids
