Brushless automation is a term given to an automation product that houses a magnet-based motor without any brushes. This is primarily used as the brushless on a traditional motor can get hot & wear out over time, think back to an old brushed drilled having the same effect after a lot of use. This immediate benefit makes it the perfect technology for electric gate automation.
Brushless motors also offer extensive safety benefits such as obstacle detection, as the motor can measure up to 4092 pulses per rotation. As a result of this the motor detects exactly where it is on its operating travel, meaning true obstacle detection is achieved should it come into contact with an obstruction.
Roger Technology has pioneered this DC Digital Brushless Technology with its extensive range of 3 phase brushless electric gate automation & automatic barriers.
How Brushless compare to traditional Mains voltage:
The Brushless motors differ from traditional motors in countless ways. Firstly, the motors have no carbon brushes to wear out, unlike traditional motors you will find from other manufactures. Additionally, since the motors are entirely run via magnets, you will find no heat generation, no wearing, minimal noise, virtually no friction and far lower power consumption than the regular 230v motors you can find from our competitors.
As the digital motor is its own encoder, it measures up to 4095 pieces of information every rotation meaning the motor knows exactly where it is. In short, this means that true obstacle detection is achieved. Responding to the slighted of obstructions. Meaning they are the safest electric gate motor on the market. Please see video below of how a sliding gate motor can park itself next to the obstruction without safety edges. (Not recommending this for installation purposes).
The control units that power these motors also run complete digital technology. That is to say, no physical relays on-board to wear out and full customization via the LCD screen built in. Not only can you completely customize how your gates run, but it also features easy to read diagnostics. We are only scratching the surface with the benefits of Brushless here, but please give our sales team a call on 01405-785656 and we would be happy to go further into this and discuss pricing with you.
