Gate motor reversibility – non-reversible and reversible motors and the difference between them
Do you know the difference between a non-reversible (non-reversible) and a reversible (reversible) gate operator?
Non-reversible (non-reversible) operator
99% of operators are non-reversible.
A non-reversible operator contains a device that prevents movement when the operator is not running. A common solution is a hydraulic valve or a mechanism that locks the motor and gearbox. To help you picture it, imagine trying to push a car that has not been started and is in gear. Of course, it would work with enough force, but you would probably damage something because, unlike a car, the operator is bolted down or set in concrete.
Reversible (reversible) operator
A reversible operator can be opened or closed by pushing or pulling it by hand in an emergency or during a power outage. When you press the button on the remote control (or issue a command using another device, such as a key switch, a digital keypad, a card reader etc.), of course the operator works normally. It is used in combination with an electric lock, which locks the gate as soon as it closes (and unlocks it just before opening).
