Choosing the Best Drive/Automation for Double-Leaf Gate: FAAC S418, FAAC 414, or G-BAT 300 GENIUS?

Question

Hello all. I need your help in choosing a drive for my double-leaf gate. I keep an eye on three sets such as: - FAAC S418 - FAAC 414 - FAAC G-BAT 300 GENIUS which one to choose, so that it all plays with my gate, so that the gate doesn't open and close too long. I used to have a drive on the...

There are also underground cylinders, relatively rarely used, only the cover is visible, which is flush with the ground.
The advantage is the lack of visible elements (aesthetics), but also a very low risk of mechanical damage, devastation or theft.
The prices of such drives are usually higher than those mounted above the ground.

An example of an underground drive of the Austrian company Tousek.
The maximum opening speed is 6 ° / s, which is approx. 15-20 s for the gate opening to an angle of 90 °.

I would like to spend max. PLN 2,000 on the whole set, underground ones are probably much more expensive, and from these sets I wrote above, some will fit my gate?

They won't be too long, moreover - the standard ones might be too short. The Faac 414 in the long version will approach 100% (with 50 cm extension - you have thick posts and the mounting dimensions will oscillate around 20 cm or more). Long Gbat and 418 can be closed (40 cm stroke)

And BFT Kustos will also fit well.

Marek J. · Answer

Kustos comes in two types. A25 with a travel of 295mm and A40 with a travel of 355mm. I do not think that they function properly and without failure ...

You mean they don't match the parameters given by the author?

Marek J. · Answer

Exactly...

Okay, thanks for the answer. I was convinced that the author's conditions were quite standard, so I threw my proposal. As actuators they seem solid, but that's not the case.

Any tube with a pitch of min. 400mm. Sure, they are and rarely used, with the price of the equipment alone around 7,000. PLN + labor and materials will amount to 9 thousand. Tubular with standard assembly costs 2.5-3 thousand. max with labor and wiring.

A stroke of 400 mm, it may not be enough without undercutting the post to maintain optimal installation and work conditions.

andrzej lukaszewicz · Answer

I successfully installed a lot of such actuators on wider 38 cm wide clinker posts + half-width hinges. Here we have 30 cm, so it can be set even more.

Marek J. · Answer

Well, congratulations on the successes and customer satisfaction after several years of operation. The engine from 126p can also be mounted on the Bentley. And even a little ride. Do you know what the manufacturer's recommended installation dimensions are and why the A dimension should be similar to the B dimension? If not, read a bit, and if so, apologize to your customers.

andrzej lukaszewicz · Answer

Please don't treat me like a novice and someone who doesn't know what the approximate dimensions of A and B.
On this 30 cm post it is possible to achieve dimensions A = B. Even with the proportions of the 20-15 cm type, there are no side effects and I do not have to apologize to anyone. I do not mount any trash, only very strong actuators with a reserve of power and stiffness, which in difficult and unusual installations tolerate much larger deviations from the "recommended" dimensions.
Here, the handles on the post need to be shortened (so that they do not touch the corner of the post), and not mounted on the original lengths.

Marek J. · Answer

Sorry, maybe I exaggerated a bit. However, in response, I wrote that at 30 cm, the stroke of 400 mm is maybe (does not have to be!) be too little. In response, you wrote that you are mounting successfully on 38 cm, and here I do not see any success in the long run. Now you change the data again and write that I accuse you of editing 30 cm. Please decide and specify which dimension is the correct one and for which you were offended ...
