What does duty cycle mean?

It’s how hard a motor can work before it needs a break. Some manufacturers give it as a number of operations a day, where one operation is one open and one close. ET Nice gives it as a percentage of each hour: a 25% motor can run for up to 15 minutes in every hour and stands idle for the rest, which lets the motor cool and the battery recharge. A 98% motor runs straight off mains power, with the battery as back-up, so it can work almost nonstop. That suits busy estates and complexes.

These figures are rated for a gate at the motor’s maximum weight, so a lighter gate will do better.

Gate motors for sale, supplied and fitted by our own qualified technicians. Choose from Centurion, ET, Gemini, Hansa and DTS motors for sliding and swing gates, and we'll install, set up and support it from our workshop in Benoni.

Choosing the right motor

Three things decide the motor: how heavy the gate is, how often it opens, and whether it slides or swings.

  • Gate weight: every motor has a maximum. Pick one rated comfortably above your gate, and a motor lasts 10 to 15 years.
  • How busy it is: a home gate opens a few times a day; a complex gate can open hundreds of times. The duty cycle on each card tells you how hard a motor can work.
  • Sliding or swing: sliding motors sit beside the gate and drive a rack; swing motors push each leaf open with an arm or ram.

Not sure? Send us a photo of your gate and we'll recommend two or three options, with fitted prices.
