Product Description

The VMAG High Velocity Magnetic gate operator represents a quantum leap in gate operator technology and combines unprecedented speed and reliability, without moving drive components, making it the ultimate gate operator for homeland security and critical infrastructure.

VMAG propels security gates up to 8 feet per second, which effectively deters unauthorized access and tail-gating while dramatically increasing authorized throughput, enhancing both security and efficiency.

The patented design incorporates electromagnetic Linear Induction Motor technology, eliminating moving drive components, hydraulic fluids and lubricants and their environmental risks, making VMAG the world’s fastest and most reliable gate operator utilizing proven green technology.

VMAG’s industry leading XCP ™ (Xtreme Corrosion Protection) materials and special coatings, with marine grade options, provide additional protection in coastal regions, industrial areas, or other corrosive environments.

The unique floating design, programmable speed control and self-calibrating feature adapt to any application and the integrated locking mechanism makes VMAG virtually impossible to defeat.

Notes

VMAG models VM1420 (440-480 VAC, 3-Phase) or VM1425 HD (440-480 VAC, 3-Phase) are recommended for maximum performance, HEAVY gates, and/or openings of 30′ or more. Custom configurations are available upon request for special projects, large openings and K-rated crash gate systems. Use of Buck/Boost transformers or Step-Up transformers may be necessary depending on available power.

Operator kits include (4) reaction fins and brackets for a standard 20′ gate opening.
Formula for estimating number of required reaction fins:
(Total Feet Of Opening + Five feet) Divided by 6.58 = Number of Fins Required (Round up to whole number).
Example: Opening (24′ + 5′)/6.58 = 4.4 Reaction Fin. Round up to (5) Total Reaction Fins.
