500 KG Automatic Sliding Gate Motor

The RIB K500 is designed to automate compatible sliding gates weighing up to 500 KG. This makes it particularly suitable for residential sliding gates, villa entrances and private parking access points.

Motor selection should not be based on gate weight alone. Gate length, wheel condition, track alignment, gear rack condition and mechanical resistance should also be checked before installation. The sliding gate should move smoothly by hand before an automatic gate motor is installed.

Built-In RIB K-CRX Control Board

The RIB K500 is equipped with a built-in RIB K-CRX electronic control board. The integrated controller manages opening and closing commands, safety devices, automatic closing, pedestrian access and other gate automation functions.

The K-CRX system also provides an integrated solution for programming and controlling compatible RIB gate automation accessories.

Adjustable Slowdown in Opening & Closing

The RIB K500 provides adjustable low-speed operation when approaching the end positions during both opening and closing.

Controlled slowdown helps provide smoother gate movement as the gate approaches its fully open or fully closed position and can reduce mechanical impact on the motor, rack, wheels and gate structure.

Pedestrian Opening Function

The pedestrian opening command allows the sliding gate to open partially instead of completing a full vehicle-access opening.

This function is useful for residential entrances where pedestrians need access without opening the complete sliding gate.

Safety Edge Auto-Test

The RIB K500 control system supports a safety strip auto-test function for compatible safety equipment. This provides additional safety management when the automation system is correctly configured with compatible devices.

Photocells, safety edges and other protective equipment should be selected and installed according to the individual gate installation and applicable safety requirements.

Self-Heated Motor System

The RIB K500 incorporates a self-heating motor function designed to help provide prompt motor starting under low-temperature conditions.

This feature forms part of RIB's design for dependable residential sliding gate automation across varying environmental conditions.

Synthesized Steel Drive Gear

The K500 uses a synthesized steel drive gear as part of its mechanical transmission system. The robust drive system transfers motor power through the pinion to the sliding gate rack.

Correct alignment between the motor pinion and gate rack is essential. The rack should not place the full weight of the gate onto the motor pinion.

Adjustable Motor Mounting Plate

The RIB K500 mounting system includes a fixing plate that allows height adjustment and secure fixing to the ground. This helps the installer correctly position the motor in relation to the sliding gate gear rack.

RIB also designed the K500 so that it can be fitted on the same base plate used by the older RIB K5, which can simplify certain replacement installations.

Manual Emergency Release

The RIB K500 incorporates a manual release system that allows the sliding gate to be disengaged from the operator when manual movement is required.

This is useful during a power failure, maintenance or troubleshooting. Depending on the K500 version, the release system can use a personalized key or Allen-key arrangement.

RIB SUN Remote Control

The RIB K500 can be operated using compatible RIB SUN remote controls. Remote transmitters can be programmed into the compatible RIB radio system to provide convenient wireless gate opening and closing.

RIB FIT SLIM Photocell Sensors

Compatible RIB FIT SLIM photocells can be installed with the K500 to provide additional gate safety. Photocells detect interruption of the infrared beam and provide a signal to the gate control system according to the programmed safety logic.

Correct photocell installation is particularly important when automatic closing is enabled.

Automatic Closing

The RIB K500 control system can be configured for automatic gate closing. When correctly programmed, the sliding gate automatically closes after the selected pause period.

Automatic closing should only be used with correctly installed and tested safety devices appropriate for the gate installation.

RIB K500 Gate Motor Installation

Correct installation is essential for reliable operation of the RIB K500 automatic sliding gate motor. Before installation, the gate wheels, track, guide rollers and mechanical structure should be inspected to ensure that the gate moves freely without excessive resistance.
