Sliding Gate Automation by FAAC Australia

FAAC Australia revolutionises the domestic gate industry with the release of the C720 24volt sliding gate operator

Featuring the NEW Cyclo gearbox (FAAC international patented)

How does it work?
The gearbox is composed by an eccentric shaft, ball bearings, 2 impellers and a slow speed gear. As the eccentric shaft rotates, it rolls the impellers around the internal circumference of the slow speed gear. The resulting action is similar to that of a wheel rolling around the inside of a ring. Since the impellers are fixed, this imposes a movement of the slow speed gear.

What are the advantages?

• High mechanical efficiency: >80% (+ 50% compared to the traditional gearboxes )
• Robustness and reliability: the load is distributed to many contact points
• Vibration and noise reduction: the impellers are 180° out of phase, making the gearbox perfectly symmetrical and equilibrated
• Dimension reduction: the whole gearbox is contained in the slow speed gear, which is directly connected to the gate rack

High mechanical efficiency

• The Cyclo gearbox allows to reach a mechanical efficiency that is up to two times higher than traditional gearboxes. A substantial reduction of power dissipation is also achieved
• Higher thrust force and speed (up to 18m/min) can be achieved with a lower electrical power consumption
• Lower power consumption = Lower heat dissipation = Better operating conditions for the mechanical components (motor, gearbox, etc.) that means a longer lifetime of them.

FAAC believes that the most important resources of each company are their people, the spirit that animates them, the passion that drives them to work together every day to satisfy customers, the ambition to improve while respecting the Values of the Company. FAAC believes that its Values are the same since the foundation in 1965 and guarantees to team members, clients and end-users that they will remain the same also in the future.
