What are the appropriate technical specifications when choosing sliding motors for doors?
Choosing the right technical specifications when purchasing an electric motor for automatic doors involves paying attention to several key features:
1. Door Weight: Each electric motor has a maximum weight it can handle for door movement. Therefore, it is generally recommended to select an electric motor that can handle one and a half to twice the weight of the door. This accounts for potential loss of motor capabilities over time, ensuring a long assumed lifespan for the motor.
2. Motor Power: Measured in watts or horsepower, motor power provides a crucial indication of the motor’s ability to control the door based on its size, dimensions, and weight.
3. Opening and Closing Speed: This refers to the time it takes for the motor to open or close the door, programmable according to user needs and the motor’s capacity.
4. Safety System: This involves sensors within the motor that can impede the door’s movement. These systems are utilized to prevent collisions and ensure safety.
5. Remote Control Tools: Most modern motors support smart technologies such as remote control and the use of mobile applications available on Android and Apple devices.
