    Sliding Gate Automation

    FAAC sliding gate automation systems provide smooth, reliable movement for easy and secure access.

    These solutions are designed to deliver maximum comfort and safety, using advanced technology capable of meeting even the most demanding requirements.

    Our systems can be installed on any type of sliding gate and integrate seamlessly into all settings — from private homes and apartment complexes to commercial and industrial facilities of any size.

    To choose the right sliding gate automation system, two key factors must be considered: the weight of the gate leaf and the type of usage.

    Technology

    Hydraulic and Electromechanical

    These are the two core technologies behind today’s FAAC sliding gate automation systems.

    Both are designed to meet specific needs and offer maximum flexibility across a wide range of applications.

    FAAC Sliding Gate Automation AC Motors

    AC Motors

    FAAC's journey began with hydraulic systems powered by alternating current (230V AC) motors. In these motors, the flow of current generates a rotating magnetic field within the stator, which drives the shaft and rotor.

    In single-phase systems, a capacitor is connected between the stator windings to initiate rotation. These motors are equipped with integrated thermal protection that shuts off power in case of overload, ensuring maximum operational safety.

    Despite technological advancements and the introduction of DC motors, AC motors remain widely used today—thanks to their proven reliability and consistent performance over time.

    FAAC Sliding Gate Automation DC Motors

    DC motors

    DC motors consist of a rotor powered via a brush collector and a stator that generates a constant magnetic field.

    While they lack built-in physical thermal protection, FAAC systems feature electronic thermal protection, ensuring safe and reliable operation at all times.

    By adjusting the supply voltage and current, both motor speed and torque can be precisely controlled.

    Key advantages of DC motors include: precise control of force and speed, smooth acceleration and deceleration ramps for enhanced comfort, high energy efficiency, backup battery support to maintain operation during power outages.
