1.5 - GUIDELINES FOR DOOR MOTORS
The risk assessment must be carried out before installing the motor.
The following are some checks and precautions commonly applicable to the systems of motorized doors/ gates; you must therefore,
depending on the dierent situations, consider any additional risks and exclude those not applicable in accordance with the princi-
ples of safety integration provided by the Machinery Directive.
IMPACT CRUSHING SHEARING CONVEYING HOOKING
DANGER
• Verify that at each of the two extreme positions of the stroke there is a fixed mechanical stop that stops
the gate in case of malfunction of the limit switches. For this purpose, the mechanical stop must be sized
to withstand the static thrust of the engine plus the kinetic energy of the gate.
• The columns of the gate must have on top of the anti-derailment guides to avoid involuntary disengage-
ment.
• Check that no entrapment points can be generated (for example between the open gate door and the
wall).
• Check that the upper guides do not cause friction.
• Check that the gate is stable and that the sliding wheels are in good condition and greased.
• Check that the ground guide is well fixed to the ground, completely on the surface and free of irregulari-
ties that can hinder the movement of the gate.
• Check that the fastening point of the automation is in an area protected from impact and that the mount-
ing surface is solid.
• Provide adequate pipes and conduits for the passage of electrical cables ensuring protection against
mechanical damage.
• Implement any other type of precaution and check as indicated by the rules in force.
• The method of control of the gate, as well as the accompanying safety devices, must conform
to the intended use of the gate itself.
