FAAC 740 500 KG Sliding Gate Motor

FAAC 740 500 KG Automatic Sliding Gate Motor UAE

FAAC 740 is a professional 230V automatic sliding gate motor designed for residential sliding gates weighing up to 500 kg. Manufactured by FAAC, the 740 combines strong electromechanical construction, integrated electronic control, encoder-based obstacle detection and magnetic limit switches for reliable residential gate automation.

The FAAC 740 E Z16 provides a maximum gate speed of approximately 12 metres per minute and is suitable for sliding gate leaves up to 15 metres when correctly installed. Its non-reversing gearbox mechanically locks the gate when the motor is stopped, eliminating the need for an additional electric gate lock in normal installations.

FAAC 740 Technical Specifications

500 KG Residential Sliding Gate Motor

The FAAC 740 is designed for residential sliding gates weighing up to 500 kg. It is particularly suitable for villas, private residences and residential driveway entrances requiring dependable everyday automatic gate operation.

Motor selection should not be based on gate weight alone. Gate length, wheel condition, track alignment, rack installation, wind resistance and daily operating frequency should also be considered before selecting the automation system.

230V Electromechanical Gate Operator

The FAAC 740 uses a reliable 230V asynchronous single-phase motor. The 740 E Z16 configuration provides approximately 350W maximum power, 18 Nm maximum torque and up to 450N thrust force.

This electromechanical design provides dependable operation for compatible residential sliding gates when the gate is correctly installed and moves freely along its track.

12 m/min Sliding Gate Speed

The FAAC 740 provides a maximum gate movement speed of approximately 12 metres per minute. Actual opening and closing time depends on the total travel distance and controller settings.

The integrated control system also manages slowdown during appropriate stages of gate movement, helping provide smoother stopping.

Integrated Encoder & Obstacle Detection

The FAAC 740 incorporates an optical encoder for monitoring gate movement. The encoder works with the electronic control system to provide reverse operation when an obstacle is detected.

The encoder also assists with accurate management of partial opening and slowdown. Correctly installed photocell sensors should still be used as part of a professional automatic gate safety system.

Magnetic Limit Switches

The FAAC 740 uses magnetic limit switches to determine the fully open and fully closed gate positions. Magnetic sensing provides reliable position detection without conventional mechanical microswitch activation.

Correct positioning of the limit-switch magnets is essential for accurate gate stopping and reliable automatic operation.

FAAC 740D Integrated Control Board

The FAAC 740 E is supplied with an integrated 740D electronic control board. The prewired control unit simplifies installation and provides convenient programming directly at the gate motor.

The 740D provides an onboard display that allows the installer to configure operating parameters and select appropriate gate operating logic.

Non-Reversing Gearmotor

The FAAC 740 uses a non-reversing reduction system. When the motor is not operating, the gearbox mechanically locks the sliding gate in position.

Because of this non-reversing design, FAAC states that an additional electric lock is normally not required for the sliding gate.

Manual Release During Power Failure

If mains power fails or the automation requires servicing, the FAAC 740 can be manually released using its key-protected release mechanism. Once released, the sliding gate can be opened or closed manually.

After power is restored, the operator should be correctly re-engaged before returning the gate to automatic operation.
