Types of drives for swing gates

If you want to automate a swing gate, you should take a closer look at the types of swing gate operators. In fact, there are two main types of swing gate automation used for domestic use: screw gate drive, swing gate drive with bendable arm and underground drives for swing gates.

Screw gate drive is a cheaper type of drives, which does not mean that it is inferior to the others, and with proper installation is virtually trouble-free. In these swing gate actuators, the drive element moves linearly along the body of the actuator, thus transferring force to the gate leaf. Screw actuators are simple to install and robust. They are suitable for most gates where the post is less than thirty-eight centimeters high and the gate opens inward. What's more, it can be mounted to all swing gates set on narrow posts. For wider posts, you should rather reach for an actuator with a bendable arm.

The gate operator with a bendable arm is used for outward-opening gates with posts wider than thirty-eight centimeters. In this case, it is very important to choose the right swing-arm gate actuators, as this can result in problems with fully opening or closing the gate. What's more, operators with a bendable arm allow installation without interfering with the structure of the pole, as opposed to classic ones, which would require modifications. It is also a very aesthetically pleasing solution, since the mounted swing gate actuators are practically invisible from the entrance to the property.

Another type of drives are underground drives for swing gates. This type of swing gate automation is mounted below the surface of the ground, making it completely invisible. Underground swing gate operators are characterized by smooth and trouble-free operation for very long years. However, it should be noted that their installation often requires additional construction work, so underground drives are not among the most popular solutions for swing gate automation....

In the en.ivel.pl store you will find a variety of swing gate operators, as well as sliding gate operators and garage door operators in many variants. The gate automation and barriers we offer is an area where there is definitely something to choose from!

How to choose the right swing gate operator?

To choose the right swing gate operator, you need to take into account: the number of gate leaves, the length and weight of the leaf, the distance of the gate from the edge of the post and the frequency of use of the gate. None of the parameters given by drive manufacturers should be exceeded in order for the mechanism to operate efficiently and effectively.

The number of leaves is an important criterion when choosing a drive for a swing gate - all because different mechanisms will be used for single-leaf gates and others for double-leaf gates.

As for the length of the leaf and its weight These two factors should be taken into account so that the installed drive does not operate at the limits of its capabilities.

The distance of the hinge from the edge of the post is also very important - as drives for swing gates will differ significantly for narrow and wide posts.

You should also take into account the frequency of use of the gate - this has a significant impact on the life of the installed actuator.

It is worth choosing automatic gate operators with a certain reserve - so the best will be those designed for gates at least 20-30% more demanding. In the case of gates with a built-in leaf, due to the resistance posed by the air, it is worth increasing this reserve additionally - even up to 50%.

How do swing gate actuators work?

Swing gate actuators are driven by the movement of the gate leaves initiated by a special button or remote control. Thanks to the efficient mechanism, using the gate is very convenient and comfortable, as well as quiet - opening and closing the gate does not generate noise.

In addition, modern drives for swing gates have integrated safety systems, allowing the automatic closing of the wings, as well as stopping the gate if some obstacle is encountered. All mechanisms of swing gates are powered by electricity.

Advantages of automatic swing gates

1) This type of gate is mainly chosen by people with a large distance between the house and the fence, which is relatively common. This is because the installation of swing gates requires freedom in terms of sufficient space.

2) A huge advantage of having an automatic swing gate is the possibility of installing a wicket, which allows easy entry and exit from our property.

3) Swing gates are also characterized by their classic appearance and nice design, which fits most building styles

4) Automatic swing gates allow us to take advantage of many modern conveniences to make operation even more functional. Electrically-powered actuators turn off automatically when the gate leaf reaches a certain opening angle, or when it is closed. Also very functional is the sequential opening method, which involves opening only one of the leaves in case we need only a narrow passage.

In the offer of en.ivel.pl you will find various models of swing gate actuators, as well as accessories for g ates of any type, which will allow you to make the use of the gate even more convenient and functional.
