FAAC offers ideal solutions for automating your garage door. Our systems are designed to provide maximum convenience while also meeting high standards for safety and energy efficiency.
FAAC garage door automation systems can be used in both residential and industrial settings, and are divided into two categories based on the type of door: sectional door automation and overhead (tilting) door automation.
Technology
Hydraulic and Electromechanical
These are the two core technologies behind today’s FAAC garage door automation systems.
Both are designed to meet specific needs and offer maximum flexibility across a wide range of applications.
Hydraulic
Hydraulic technology has always been a hallmark of FAAC excellence — and remains our flagship innovation. In fact, FAAC was the first to introduce it to the gate automation sector, back in 1965.
Applying hydraulics in this field requires the highest level of engineering and absolute precision during assembly.
This expertise allows us to offer all the advantages of hydraulic systems, which deliver outstanding performance across a wide range of applications.
- Exceptional durability: Service life up to 4 times longer than equivalent electromechanical systems.
- High power in a compact design: Delivers twice the force of electromechanical alternatives, while maintaining a compact footprint.
- Superior resistance:
Perfect for harsh and aggressive environments—dust, sand, salt—and for intensive use. - Maximum safety: Mechanical force adjustment via by-pass valves ensures safe and reliable operation.
- Easy maintenance: Simple to service and repair, with minimal effort required from technicians.
- Smooth, quiet movement:
Almost silent in operation, ensuring a more comfortable and refined user experience. -
Reversibility: Available with reversible operators—single or dual direction—for safe opening from either side.
Electromechanical
Electromechanical technology stands out for its simplicity. It was developed to meet the needs of those seeking automation systems with outstanding value for money.
In this solution, the components that transfer power from the motor to the gate leaf are mechanical, ensuring reliable and efficient operation.
