Swing Gate Automation
Choosing the right automatic swing gate opener in NZ depends on several key factors, including gate size, weight, and overall structure. FAAC offers a comprehensive range of swing gate openers to suit light residential gates through to heavy-duty commercial installations. Systems are available with either external motors or discreet underground options, allowing flexibility in both performance and design. Intelligent control technology ensures smooth movement and controlled force, helping protect users, vehicles, and the gate itself. Whether you are upgrading an existing gate or planning a new installation, FAAC automatic swing gate opener solutions deliver long-term reliability. Designed to perform in New Zealand conditions, FAAC swing gate automation combines proven engineering with practical design that works day after day.

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 offer greater control and flexibility for modern swing gate automation systems. In these motors, the rotor is powered through a brush system, while the stator generates a constant magnetic field.
Instead of mechanical thermal cut-offs, FAAC DC systems use electronic protection to monitor operating conditions in real time. This ensures safe and reliable performance for the automatic swing gate opener.
By adjusting voltage and current, both speed and force can be precisely controlled, making DC motors ideal for residential driveway swing gate applications and higher-end commercial installations.
