BFT KUSTOS BT B25 Swing Gate Motor Kit

The BFT KUSTOS BT B25 is sold as the KUSTOS BT B25 SMART KIT INT (kit reference R935361 00003). The SMART KIT designation indicates that the kit has been pre-selected and bundled by BFT to include all essential components for a complete installation — both operators, THALIA control panel, self-aligning photocells, flashing light, MITTO COOL C4 remotes, push button, and fixing brackets — in a single purchase without requiring separate accessory sourcing. The INT suffix refers to the international version of the kit, confirming compatibility with the 230V board power supply standard used across the UAE. This makes the B25 SMART KIT a particularly convenient option for Abu Dhabi installers who want a single-order complete solution for a 3.0m gate installation.

The BFT KUSTOS BT B25 includes 2 x BFT MITTO COOL C4 remote controls — the 4-channel variant of BFT’s MITTO series, in the COOL design line. The C4 designation confirms 4 independently programmable channels, meaning a single remote can control up to four separate automation devices — for example, a swing gate, a garage door, a pedestrian gate, and an external light or second gate. This is a step up from the 2-channel MITTO2 B RCB included in the KUSTOS BT A25 kit and the single-channel Mitto B RCB in the A40 kit. For Abu Dhabi villa owners with multiple access points across the property, the 4-channel MITTO COOL C4 reduces the number of separate remotes needed. Like all MITTO transmitters, it uses BFT’s rolling code encryption for security.

The BFT KUSTOS BT B25 specifies a 2000N thrust and traction force — the pushing force the actuator applies to open the gate and the pulling force it applies to close it, measured in Newtons. 2000N is equivalent to approximately 204 kg of linear force applied at the bracket mounting point. For a gate leaf weighing up to 400 kg with correctly installed hinges, this is more than sufficient to drive smooth gate movement. The 2000N figure is specified for the 250mm rod stroke at the KUSTOS BT B25’s operating speed — heavier gates or gates with poorly lubricated hinges require more force at startup, which is where the D-Track dynamic load monitoring helps by adjusting power delivery rather than applying constant maximum force.

Yes. The KUSTOS BT B25 handles swing gate leaves up to 400 kg and 3.0 metres per leaf, which covers the majority of wrought-iron double-leaf villa gates in Abu Dhabi with extended leaves between 2.5m and 3.0m. With a 250mm rod stroke delivering 2000N of thrust, a 13-second cycle time, and a 119° maximum opening angle, it provides fast and complete gate clearance. The protected worm screw reduces dust and sand accumulation on the drive mechanism, extending maintenance intervals in Abu Dhabi’s outdoor conditions. The motor’s -20°C to +55°C operating range handles Abu Dhabi’s summer heat without thermal protection issues.

The BFT KUSTOS BT B25 carries a 24-month manufacturer warranty from purchase covering material and workmanship defects, and is described by BFT as an Italian-engineered product. Warranty is voided by power surge damage to the THALIA control board (surge protection on the 230V board supply is recommended), incorrect bracket geometry placing off-axis stress on the 250mm worm screw rod, magnetic limit switch miscalibration causing the motor to travel beyond the gate stop, or installation in a position that exceeds the IP44 protection class by exposing the motor to concentrated water spray or dust accumulation.
