Product Overview
FAAC 746 gate motor is a 230V electromechanical sliding gate operator designed for gates up to 600 kg. It is suitable for Abu Dhabi customers who need reliable automation for residential, apartment, light commercial, or industrial sliding gate applications. The FAAC 746 ER Z16 uses an oil-bath gearmotor, encoder obstacle detection, magnetic limit switch system, and 780D control board for controlled gate movement. Its non-reversing design helps keep the gate mechanically locked when the motor is not operating, reducing the need for an additional electric lock in standard installations.
