I just installed M3 668 swing motor, to my folding gate. Cabling + motor + gate light is RM2300. The speed is fast as my 16ft folding gate open/close within 5 secs. Anyone installed this type of motor? My contractor said it's malaysia brand.
My contractor recommend it because it is build without nylon gearing, all copper and cast iron. I also compared with DC motor and M3 is more heavier and smaller in size. Unfortunately i cannot find more info from the internet as compare to DC motor.

My 2 cents to share.
Sometime fast may not be good, especially if you have heavy gate. Learn this from the installer.
Imagine running a fast car, and sudden stop or hit something. So have many impact, like the gears, your gate weld, the bracket on the wall.
That is why starting and coming to end is always slower in some setup.
My neighbor had exactly this problem recently, the wall bracket nearly come off, and got to re weld and mount to another location. And program slower.

Nowadays autogate system like DCMoto & Casa Asia come with micro computer chipset inside which is able to learn & control. Which is mean it move fast when open but when it almost reach the end it will stop, the same action applied when you close the door. Therefore, no banging or impact happen.

Yes, almost most of the new design motor have 2 speed working in different voltage... Mine operate in 18v and comes to 12v as the door is reaching closing/opening side.

QUOTE(Biskut coklat @ Jun 21 2012, 12:54 AM) Guys, which brand would u suggest for a 18ft folding type gate?appreciate ur suggestions  Ask ur main gate supplier, normally they bundled with autogate system as well. So they may give u better suggestion since it's tested by them. For me, I prefer DCMoto or Casa Asia.
