Description

Sliding Door Actuator / Mechanism A Sliding Door Actuator / Mechanism is an electromechanical system used to automatically open and close sliding doors or gates. It converts the rotary motion of a motor into linear movement that drives the door along a track. These systems are widely used in industrial, commercial, and residential applications for convenient and controlled door operation. Main Components Electric Motor – Provides the driving power. Linear Actuator / Drive Mechanism – Converts rotary motion into linear motion. Guide Rail / Track – Allows the door to slide smoothly. Control Unit – Controls opening and closing functions. Limit Switches / Sensors – Stops the door at the correct position. Mounting Brackets & Couplings – Connect actuator with the door structure. Working Principle When power is supplied, the motor rotates. The actuator mechanism (lead screw, belt drive, or rack and pinion) converts this rotation into linear motion. The linear motion pushes or pulls the sliding door along the rail. Limit switches stop the actuator once the door reaches the fully open or closed position. Key Features Smooth and quiet operation High load carrying capacity Compact and robust design Low maintenance system Adjustable opening speed Weather-resistant construction Typical Technical Specifications Stroke Length: 200 mm – 1500 mm Load Capacity: 500 N – 5000 N Voltage: 12V / 24V / 230V Speed: 10 mm/s – 60 mm/s Protection Class: IP54 / IP65 Applications Automatic building entrance doors Industrial warehouse sliding doors Hospital automatic doors Clean room doors Residential sliding gates Advantages Hands-free automatic operation Improved safety with sensors Energy efficient Suitable for automation integration (PLC / remote control)
