  • First Responder Emergency Vehicle Facilities
  • Automotive Dealerships Transportation Facilities
  • Airports Military Facilities
  • Energy Management Energy Efficient LEED Buildings

STANDARD FEATURES
Electrical Supply:
Single-phase powered operator.

Motor:
60Hz high starting torque, continuous-duty, switchless motor, open drip proof, protected against overload.

Speed Managing Features:
Speed managing device provides enhanced performance and speed, with soft-start and soft-stop capabilities.


Reduction:
20:1 or 44:1 worm gear in oil bath reducer with air breather and sealed ball bearings. Output shaft 1" (20:1) with 1/4'' keyway or 1-1/4" (44:1) with 1/4'' keyway. Only comes in 1 HP. Output shaft speed 20:1 reduction: 86 rpm opening/57 rpm closing. Output shaft speed 44:1 reduction: 38 rpm opening/25 rpm closing.
