2.5. Pole fitting
The correct position of the pillar fitting is decisive for the subsequent operation of the gate.
The first
step is to determine the distance between the motor pivot point and the gate pivot point (figure 7), and thus the
opening angle (see point 2.3.). These dimensions are marked as dimension A and dimension B. The influence of
these dimensions on the operation and movement of the door should not be underestimated. Achieve the best
dimension for the opening angle we are interested in using the experimental method. Suggested A / B
dimensions are shown in the table in Figure 7. It may also be necessary to shorten or lengthen the hinge plate to
achieve optimal dimensions. Before defining the final installation dimensions, it is essential to check that the
actuator does not hit anywhere when opening / closing.
ASSEMBLY :
The actuators in the swing gate installations exert very high forces on the pole.
Therefore, after determining the best dimensions, the hinge plate is best welded directly onto the pole. For
thick stone or concrete columns, the hinge must be welded to the support plate and secured so that the dowel
pins will not come loose during operation. Adhesive bonded anchors are recommended for the installation of
the support plate, where the threaded stud is glued to the wall in a stress-free manner, which is more suitable
than using expansion plugs, plastic or steel. In the case of brick poles, a relatively large steel plate should be
screwed to cover several bricks and the hinge plate can then be welded to it. The angle plate can also be used
as a support plate and screwed to the corner of the column.
