Automatic Swing Gate Motors FAQ
Linear rams (like the Glidell K-300 and K-500) require specific mounting geometry where the distance from the gate hinge to the pillar edge is less than 150 mm. If you have thick brick pillars or architectural stone columns where the gate is hung deep in the center, a linear ram will bind against the pillar corner. The A-400 Articulated Arm solves this by reaching around thick masonry pillars up to 350 mm depth without requiring pillar notching.
Most basic swing gate motors require physical ground stopper blocks screwed into your driveway to prevent the motor from over-traveling. The Glidell K-500 Heavy Ram features built-in, adjustable mechanical internal stops directly inside the stainless steel actuator body, eliminating the need for unsightly middle-of-the-driveway concrete trip hazards.
Solid-paneled swing gates act like sails during storms. Standard motors with nylon internal gears strip when buffeted by gale-force winds. Glidell swing actuators feature irreversible, case-hardened steel worm drives and forged phosphor-bronze traveling nuts capable of withstanding over 3,500 Newtons of wind-load back-pressure without deflection.
