Swing Gate automation

Swing Gate Automation

FAAC swing gate automation systems ensure smooth and reliable opening and closing—whether inward or outward—offering safe and convenient access in any situation.

Thanks to hydraulic, electromechanical, and HYbrid technologies, these solutions are built to last and designed to adapt perfectly to your needs, delivering maximum convenience and dependability over time.

Our systems are suitable for all types of swing gates—single or double leaf—and integrate seamlessly into any environment: from private residences to apartment complexes, as well as commercial and industrial sites of all sizes.

To choose the right swing gate automation system, three key factors must be considered: the size of the gate leaf, its weight, and the overall structure of the gate.

Swing gate automation systems are generally divided into two categories: those with an external motor and those with an underground or integrated motor.

    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.

    • NExceptional durability: Service life up to 4 times longer than equivalent electromechanical systems.
    • NHigh power in a compact design: Delivers twice the force of electromechanical alternatives, while maintaining a compact footprint.
    • NSuperior resistance: Perfect for harsh and aggressive environments—dust, sand, salt—and for intensive use.
    • NMaximum safety: Mechanical force adjustment via by-pass valves ensures safe and reliable operation.
    • NEasy maintenance: Simple to service and repair, with minimal effort required from technicians.
    • NSmooth, quiet movement: Almost silent in operation, ensuring a more comfortable and refined user experience.
    • NReversibility: 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.

    • NExcellent value for money: High-performing automation systems at competitive prices—ideal for those looking for efficiency and affordability.
    • NSimplicity of design: Essential, user-friendly design for easy operation and straightforward maintenance.
    • NProven know-how: Backed by decades of experience and field-tested expertise, guaranteeing reliable performance.
    • NExtensive product range: Solutions tailored to various application needs, including integrated systems and special configurations.

    HYbrid

    HYbrid technology represents the new frontier of FAAC automation—a solution that combines the strengths of hydraulic systems with the flexibility of 24V DC technology.

    • NTotal control: Precisely adjust force and speed directly via the electronic control board, making it easier to comply with current safety regulations.
    • NUltra-smooth motion: Gentle acceleration and deceleration ramps ensure a fluid, jerk-free movement for maximum user comfort.
    • NHigh efficiency: With reduced power dissipation, this technology supports frequent and intensive usage.
    • NEmergency battery backup: In the event of a power outage, the backup battery keeps the system fully operational.

    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.

    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
