What are the differences between DC sliding gate motors and AC sliding gate motors?

Differences between DC sliding gate motors and AC sliding gate motors? As a manufacturer that produces both AC and DC sliding gate motors, J&G Motor will share the differences between them in this article.

 

1. Difference in operating voltage between DC and AC sliding gate motors

 

From their names, it is obvious that they operate under different voltage types. DC sliding gate motors work with low voltage, while AC sliding gate motors require higher voltage.

 

2. Difference in battery configuration between DC and AC sliding gate motors

 

DC sliding gate motors usually come with built-in batteries or support external backup batteries, whereas AC sliding gate motors do not have battery backup. This means that during a power outage, AC sliding gate motors cannot operate, while DC sliding gate motors can continue to function normally using battery power.

 

3. Difference in pulling force between DC and AC sliding gate motors

 

Generally, DC sliding gate motors are suitable for lightweight electric sliding gates. For large and heavy-duty electric sliding gates, AC sliding gate motors, which provide stronger pulling force, are more appropriate.

 

4. Difference in regional usage between DC and AC sliding gate motors

 

For example, DC sliding gate motors are most commonly found on electric sliding gates in Africa. However, in Southeast Asian countries, you are more likely to see AC sliding gate motors installed.
