Installation of Fittings
The strength of the supplied fittings has been specifically cho-
sen to suit the supplied drive system (twist 200). The manufac-
turer shall not be held liable for damages, if fittings other than
those supplied are used.
If dimension B is smaller than the smallest value in the above
table, install a spacer plate below the post fittings to ensure that
dimension B is at least 100 mm.
• Prior to welding of fittings to posts or gate wings, remove or cover the
drive unit to prevent damage from sparks, etc.
• At solid stone and concrete posts, mount fittings in such a way that the
plugs cannot loosen during operation. Instead of steel or plastic strad-
dling dowels, we recommend using adhesive bond anchors that allow for
the tension-free adhesion of the threaded pin in the post.
• Ensure that the distances between the gate wing and the post, and the
gate wing and the drive system conform with the applicable standards.
Steel posts
Take into account wall thickness of post!
The fittings can be welded directly to the post or fixed by means of screws.
Stone and concrete posts
When mounting fittings onto stone posts, ensure that the boreholes for the
screws are not too close to the edge of the post. The distance to be main-
tained may vary, depending on the dowel used. Please follow the instruc-
tions of the dowel producer.
Timber posts
As no additional forces are applied, you can use the supplied fittings.
If the supplied fittings do not fit your posts, contact a specialised dealer for
special fittings (e.g. timber post fittings).
After installation of the fittings, do not carry out any welding or
grinding work, as residues resulting from such work lead to
accelerated corrosion at the fittings.
Examples of dimensions A / B
1. Short post
Dimensions:
Steel column 100 mm x 100 mm
Desired opening angle: min. 90°
Length of gate wing: 1.5 m
Measurements:
A = 80 mm
B = 110 mm
Dimensions according to table
A = 80 mm
B = 120 mm
Max. opening angle = 94°
2. Long post
Dimensions:
Concrete column 215 mm x 100 mm
Desired opening angle: min. 95°
Length of gate wing: 2.5 m
Measurements:
A = 225 mm
B = 165 mm
Dimensions according to table
A = 220 mm
B = 160 mm
Max. opening angle = 91°
3. Inside hinge /fittings
Dimensions:
Post 195 mm x 100 mm
Desired opening angle: min. 100°
Length of gate wing: 1 m
Measurements:
A = 100 mm
B = 75 mm
As dimension B is 75 mm, insert a spacer
plate below the fittings. This ensures that
dimension B is increased to minimum 100
mm.
Dimensions according to table
A = 100 mm
B = 100 mm
Max. opening angle = 105°
Post Fittings
1. Minimum distance between ground and bottom edge of hinge plate: 50
mm. However, ensure that the drive can be properly mounted onto the
gate wing.
2. Tighten nut at screw, ensuring that the drive can still be easily moved.
