Sliding Gates

The SEA range of automatic sliding gate operators contain models suitable for small residential situations through to heavy, intensively operated industrial gates. SEA are one of the few manufacturers to offer a double safety system on all of their sliding gate motors. High levels of safety are provided on all operators with both mechanical slip clutch systems and electronic rotation sensors, providing constant levels of personal safety even on the largest of gates. Designed to comply with EN12453 safety levels. SEA sliding gate operators are compact, quiet and smooth in operation because the gear boxes are all submersed in an oil bath for maximum lubrication. The Lepus models also use the oil as a coolant for the motor, allowing intensive operation when required. The majority of gates are driven open and closed by use of a 16 toothed gear connected to the motor, with a toothed rack attached to the gate. The electric motor turns the gear using a worm drive system, generating lots of power for even the heaviest of gates and holding the gates in the closed position. The gate's open and closed positions are set by a non-contact metal detector, preventing the wear and tear often associated with movable switches. S electable soft start and soft stop features provide a smooth and extremely hard wearing gate operating system.
