Hydraulic technology1


Duration and reliability: up to 4 times higher than an electromechanical operator. In a hydraulic operator most of the components are in oil bath, therefore less subjected to wear.

Thrust force: a thrust up to 2 times higher than an equivalent electromechanical operator can be generated. (this makes hydraulic operators particularly suitable for harsh conditions, e.g. windy environments)

Harsh environments: particularly rugged and suitable for environments with difficult conditions (humidity, sand, salt, etc.), low temperatures (- 40°C with winter oil, electro-mechanical max– 20°C).

High operating frequency: the continuous lubrication of the components makes hydraulic operators suitable for heavy duty applications.

Maintenance: limited and cheaper with respect to a electromechanical operator: e.g. in case of break-in an electro-mechanical operator is subjected to irreversible ruptures and needs to be replaced, whereas an hydraulic operator can be easily repaired (replacing the blocking valve).

Operating noise: the oil guarantees a very low operating noise during the complete operator lifetime. (in electro-mechanical operators the wear and tear of the components can cause an increased noise level along the time).

High reliability in any application

1 Heavy duty

The technology, core of the S450H operator, combines the advantages of hydraulic technology with 24V DC motor.

On one hand, the hydraulic circuit coupled with 24V motor allows a continuous duty, making this operator suitable for high frequency transit applications.

Moreover, the hydraulic technology requires high quality components with very limited tolerances (e.g. 2 microns for the pumps), making the S450H a very reliable and durable product.

The rear brackets can be screwed and adjusted in 3 positions, enabling a better flexibility in the different installing conditions.

Moreover, the wall bracket has a further up/down adjustment mechanism with slots.

Thanks to the adjustable rear bracket, the S450H is a very flexible operator, and it is suitable with a wide range of installation quotes (see table above). This avoid for instance the need of making a niche in the pillar.

3 Innovative hydraulic circuit

The S450H hydraulic circuit is completely innovative. The by-pass valves are not foreseen in this operator because all the speed and strength adjustments can be performed through the electronic board, with advantages in terms of accuracy and easiness of use.

3 Innovative hydraulic circuit: hermetic

Luglio 2009 by MKT

No breathing screwThe S450H hydraulic circuit is

completely hermetic, and there is already the perfect mix between air and oil inside the tank. Therefore, the breathing screw is not necessary, avoiding also any possibility of oil pollution along the lifetime.

Inversion on obstacles

4 Integrated bus encoder

The bus encoder, integrated on the rear bracket, allows to perfectly control the operator in any position. In addition, it ensures a high accuracy in obstacle detection and inversion quickness, according to the current European safety standards.

The encoder is protected with a plastic cover that can be easily removed for maintenance. The protecting cover:

shields the rear bracket as well as improving its esthetics.

is transparent allowing to view the encoder status (LED)

6 Integrated mechanical stops (closing/opening)

Practical add-on opening mechanical stops included

To be used when the mechanical stops are not present in the ground.

The bushings can be easily inserted in the rod. The number of needed bushings depends on the desired opening angle.

Closing mechanical stopThe S450H operator has an internal mechanical stop based on additional and reinforced supports on the front flange. This allows to avoid the installation of ground mechanical stops by using the whole stroke of the operator (it’s not necessary anymore to recede the rod by 5mm during installation)

Easy to open in any installation

7 New tri-drive valve SB system (FAAC patent)

In traditional SB (without hydraulic lock) operators, the manual opening/closing operation is often quite difficult. The reason is that during manual operations the oil has to flow through the pump with a certain pressure, therefore it might be necessary to slightly “force” the gate in order to reach this pressure.

The new SB system (FAAC patent) includes a tri-drive valve that makes easier to manually move the gate, because the oil doesn’t need to flow through the pump during the manual operations.

Verification and certification through lab tests performed by a third part (notified body)

The tests execution is assumed but not proved

The third part Institution continuously checks the product and its production for the whole certification period

No checks and no market advantages, since it’s just a self-certification of compliance made by the producer

GS Mark: a proof of real safety and product compliance, product USPs

CE mark: a commercial mark that assumes the product compliance

The S450H operator has been recognized with the GS quality mark, which indicates that it was tested by a third part (Nemko Institute) and it complies with the requirements of the German Equipment and Product Safety Act. The GS is a voluntary mark, but it’s not a self-certification like EN Tested (used by our competitors) and it should not be confused with the CE mark.
