Gate Automation Systems
Built for Every Property.
From compact residential motors to heavy-duty industrial operators — find the right system for your gate.
How a Gate Motor System Works
Understanding the basics helps you make a better buying decision and spot problems early.
The Motor Drive
The core unit contains an electric motor connected to a gearbox. The gearbox reduces speed and multiplies torque — allowing a compact motor to move a gate weighing hundreds of kilograms smoothly and quietly.
The Control Board
The brain of the system. It receives signals from remotes, keypads, intercoms, and sensors. It controls open/close speed, auto-close timers, obstacle detection response, and access logs.
Safety Sensors
Photocells and safety edges detect obstacles in the gate's path. If anything interrupts the beam or touches the edge, the gate immediately stops and reverses — protecting people, vehicles, and the motor.
Power & Backup
Motors run on 220V AC mains. All quality systems include a battery backup module that allows 50–200 cycles during a power outage — critical for China's unstable power supply.
5 Mistakes People Make When Buying a Gate Motor
After 500+ installations, we have seen every mistake in the book. Here's what to avoid.
Buying on price alone
Cheap motors use plastic gears and unsealed electronics. In China's heat and dust, they fail within 1–2 years. A quality FAAC motor costs more but lasts 15–20 years.
Ignoring gate weight
Every motor has a maximum load rating. Exceeding it strains the gearbox and burns the motor. Always weigh your gate or have an engineer assess it.
Skipping the safety sensors
Photocells and safety edges are not optional extras. A gate that closes on a child or vehicle is a liability. All our installations include safety sensors as standard.
Choosing the wrong motor type
A swing gate motor cannot power a sliding gate and vice versa. Underground operators need specific driveway depth. The wrong motor type means a complete reinstall — at full cost.
No battery backup
China averages 4–8 hours of load shedding daily in summer. A gate with no battery backup is a gate that traps your car. Always insist on battery backup.
