INTRODUCING THE R6 ROTARY SWING GATE MOTOR: AN OPERATOR THAT SWINGS ABOVE THE REST

• Because access gates are intended to serve a specific purpose and need to be suited to the environment, application, and architectural context of their installation, it stands to reason that gates come in a variety of different shapes and sizes. While gates can be divided into two broad categories – namely swing and sliding – there are further factors that may influence the profile and orientation of your gate and, by extension, the type of operator needed to automate it.
• For this article, we’ll be focusing specifically on swing gates because, as you’ll find out, swing gates generally have certain nuances and characteristics that will determine your choice of automation system. If this is something you’d like to learn more about – as well as how our latest cutting-edge tech can help solve your swing gate automation needs – read on!
• Choosing the right gate operator for your specific gate is crucial, as it determines the gate’s functionality, security, and overall performance. Factors such as the size and weight of the gate, the frequency of use, and the architectural environment of the gate’s installation all play a role in determining the appropriate operator. For swing gates, there are two primary types of operators: linear and rotary. The choice of operator will depend on the specific profile of the gate. While linear operators are suitable for some gates, rotary operators provide a more specialized solution for other gates.
• The upshot of this division is that you need to give careful consideration to what sort of technology will provide the best reliability for your gate and, for rotary configurations, the newly-launched R6 is a stalwart solution for the ultimate in security, convenience, and peace of mind.
