Choose any gate: sliding or hinged

This theme is always current. For example, a user with the nickname of the portal pdp can not decide what to put him to the gate. The pros sliding gates, he wrote:

• Save space on the site.
• Less you have to clean the snow.
• The gate is not skewed.

Of the merits of swing gates pdp allocated cheapness.

I believe that the double gates is easier and more reliable. It is only necessary to provide protection to the gate leaf does not hang out and not close or open by themselves. It's not safe.

If there is enough space, the desire to put any gate depends on the availability of funds. As for me, as sliding doors better. Swing may be in a strong wind hit the car.

virtually maintenance-free swing gates. Correct installation will eliminate the distortions. If desired, they are easier to automate.

And according to Andrei-AA sliding doors rational. He stand and swing, in winter, it is necessary to clear the snow and ice around the valves to open them. As a result, the user has decided to dismantle the swing gates and set myself recoiling.

As you can see, how many people have many opinions. What to do? To learn about the nuances of hinged and sliding gates and choose your option.

To select the optimal type of gate for suburban area, it is necessary to compare them with each other. Sliding doors preferable if:

• Little space for free opening the valves.
• A road slope and a large leaf swing gates just will not open until the end.
• You rarely come in the winter to a country house and to open the double gates, you will have to clear large snowdrifts in front doors.

We give 4 reasons "for" sliding doors.

1. Rational use of space.

Working area sliding gates in the same plane with a fence. In contrast to the swing gate, sliding is not required to take away useful space inside or outside the entrance.

2. The ease and convenience of use.

Sliding doors can be easily opened even after a heavy snowfall. It does not need to dig drifts. Enough to clear snow and ice from only a narrow strip along the retracement zone of the gate.

3. Modern design.

Sliding doors fit perfectly into the exterior of a country house built in any style and are the hallmark of a cottage.

4. For the automation of sliding gates only need one drive.

To automate swing gates need to install two drives. This will complicate the design.

Now consider the main part of the sliding gate and the basic guidelines for their calculation. Look at the picture below.

• rollback zone - the direction of the gate rollback. Length rollback zone is calculated using the formula: width of the opening 50 +%. If space is insufficient, you can consider sliding gates suspended type. For them, the rollback area is calculated using the formula: width of the opening 20 +%. If the space is smaller, consider the option of swing gate.
• The base under the sliding door. Foundation for the sliding gate is reinforced and filled with concrete. Golf drive - rendered monolithic concrete in the channel. The length of the foundation is 50% of the overlapped opening. The foundation must be recessed below the ground frost zone.
• Shield gate. Performs basic protective function. Filling the gate it can be made of profiled sheet, sandwich panels, wood, and so on. D.
• The support of the sliding gate. The length of the support portion is 50% of the width of the opening. Thanks to the support portion is not necessary to set the upper guide rail, which will limit the height of the opening.
• The base of the door leaf. It is designed as a G-shaped profile to navigate the roller carriage.
• Roller carriage. Need to roll back the gate and keep the gate on the weight. Roller carriage mounted on a concrete base on the support of channel.
• Upper roller guides. They prevent lateral rolling gate.
• Catcher. We put in at the point of closing the door. Reduce the load on the cantilever gate structure. Rubber dampers mounted in the safety device, reduce noise when the gate closes.
•  Drive gates. Designed to automate the process of opening and closing the gate.
• Rack. It transmits the force from the actuator to the door leaf.
• Warning lamp - a safety feature. It signals the beginning of the process of opening or closing the door.

Now consider the features of swing gate.

Swing gates can be called a classic entry group. This design has long been known to owners of suburban real estate, and proved to be excellent in our climate. Among the advantages of swing gates note:

• Hinged casement on hinges - a proven and reliable technology for the Russian Federation.
• Modern design. Canvas swing gates can be filled by forging, sew valuable types of wood, trapezoidal sheet, and thus, perfectly matched to the exterior, and the exterior of the cottage.

The main elements of swing gates.

• Pole with mortgages for the installation of the valves swing gates.
• Leaf swing gates.
• Shield gate. Performs basic protective function.
• Loop swing gates. Rotatable element between a column and a shutter gate swing.
• Handle swing gates.
• Gate valves - manual lock. Necessary for mechanical locking flaps.
• The hinged gate.
• Control block. It contains an electronic part that controls the opening and closing process of the leaflets swing gates.
• Warning light. The lamp indicates the swing gates when they are closed or opened.

Advantages of an entry group of automation and the use of modern drives

Practice shows that sooner or later the owner of the country house and thinks about the gates of their automation. Cause? Convenience, safety and comfort.

ABOUTpros automate sliding and swing gates you can talk a long time. Imagine the situation - an evening of winter or autumn. You drive up to the house by car. Outside the window snowing or the rain. Out of the car does not want. You press a button on the key fob radio transmission, the gates themselves open, and you drive into the courtyard. No need to open the door lock, plow or roll back the gate. Convenient, is not it? In addition, if the automated gates, using proven components European manufacturer, the flaps will open and close smoothly and noiselessly. Electronic control unit with slow motion function of the web in the end positions, do not allow the gate rigidly stick in restraints because sash soft start and braked in end of the road.

This technology prevents the destructive jerks and blows and significantly extend the life of the automated gates.

We add that the "smart" security group with infrared motion sensors system, prevent abnormal situations:

• For example, if it enters the zone of movement of automatic gates children, animals, the car suddenly stopped sash stop moving, stop and reverse work.
• Automatic sliding doors can be equipped with a sensitive safety bumpers. At the slightest touch this bumper traffic is blocked valves.

We now move on to questions FORUMHOUSE users.

Advise for automatic sliding gates weighing up to 300 kg. There are kits with sensors. Why do they need for summer Gate?

VadimVl

Put swing gates. Doors open outwards. The width of the opening 3.4 m. The valves 1.7 m. The gates are covered with trapezoidal sheet, not heavy. I want to automate the gates. What a drive to deliver? Linear or lever? What will drive longer "live" on the street. I live in Siberia. Frosts have -30 degrees. I want to do once and for all, so that the gates work in the winter, but do not overpay superfluous.

We have already mentioned that the sliding gate requires one drive. Three types of drives used for swing gates. It:

• lever;
• linear;
• hidden.

Most often pose linear actuators or lever. When choosing them, note that when you open the shutters to the outside lever drives take up space in the opening gates and linear look neater and take up less space. Compare.

Swing gates with lever drive.

Lever drive has two levers hinged. Gate wing can be opened outwards and inwards.

Swing gates with linear drive.

The power transmission is carried out on the sash due to a hydraulic cylinder or screw gear. Drive is compact and operates quietly.

Drives for swing gates, are selected depending on the weight and size of the flap. The greater weight of the sash, the higher the drive power.

Rule for sliding gates:the greater the power reserve, the fewer problems with the opening of the gate in winter. Therefore, the driving power is selected not abutting, and with a margin. The photocells are necessary to the gate does not close when you are in the car doorway.

The important point! When selecting the drive, please note - whether it is suitable for operation in the climate of Russia. Why is this so important? The automatic gearbox actuator can accumulate moisture. On freezing, it turns to ice gear lubrication and acts as an abrasive, resulting in accelerated wear of the friction elements. responsible manufacturer It uses a special type of grease drives adapted to harsh climatic conditions. Additionally gear reducer should not be made of plastic, because polymer becomes brittle at freezing temperatures. Optimal variant for the drive gear - a combination of "steel-bronze".

And, in the end of the article, we tell you about the benefits of drives with t. N. Brushless Brushless motors with digital control.

In Brushless electric motors, unlike conventional DC motors, the rotor is equipped with permanent magnet. Stator coils disposed inside the rotor. Instead of brush-collector unit - proximity switch. The operation of the engine controlled by the electronic controller. The feedback system controls the position of the rotor and on the basis of this information, the controller determines in which coil a voltage is applied. This creates a rotating magnetic field, and the motor is in motion.

Brushless motors with digital control unit a number of advantages for 24 or 36 are compared with commutator motors used for the automation of swing, sliding and sectional doors barriers. Main advantages:

• No brushes - no wear, no spark the engine and has a long service life and reliability;
• Fully digital control;
• The motor does not require maintenance;
• Simple and quick installation of a 3-wire cable;
• Fast programming;
• Quiet operation;
• Increased safety due to digital obstacle detection technology;
• Constant monitoring efforts moving sash;
• Smooth starting and smooth braking;
• backup power system;
• Low power consumption.
• Ability to adjust the opening / closing speed of the gate at different stages of work.
• The high speed of opening / closing;
• Resistance to temperature changes;
• Possible use rate - 100%.

The last point means that, with a daily cycle, continuous operation time of the door drive is 24 hours. For comparison, if the description of the drive is written, "the intensity of the use of 30%," it means that the drive has to work 30% of time and 70% of the time to cool down.
