BFT ELI BT A40 – Italian 24V Underground Swing Gate Automation with Encoder Control
The BFT ELI BT A40 is an Italian 24V underground electromechanical operator for premium gates where concealed automation, precise electronic control and intensive-use capability are desired. It combines a 350 Nm drive, encoder feedback and THALIA-family control compatibility.
Designed for professional automatic swing gate projects in the United Arab Emirates, BFT ELI BT A40 can be integrated with a correctly matched control board, remote controls, safety photocells, warning light and access-control accessories. Final motor selection should always consider the physical gate, hinge condition, pillar geometry, wind exposure, opening angle and expected operating frequency rather than relying on gate weight alone.

BFT ELI BT A40 Supply & Installation Services
For reliable operation, the gate should move freely by hand before automation is installed. The hinges, stops, posts or pillars and mounting points should be structurally sound. Correct motor geometry is particularly important on swing gates because bracket position directly affects actuator travel, leverage, opening angle and the load placed on the motor.
A professional installation normally includes motor and bracket positioning, control-panel wiring, limit or travel setup, remote-control programming, safety-photocell alignment, automatic-closing configuration where required, force or torque adjustment, manual-release testing and final commissioning. Electrical installation should follow the manufacturer's instructions and applicable site requirements.
BFT ELI BT A40 Compatible Accessories & Access Control
Depending on the selected BFT control board and product revision, BFT ELI BT A40 can be combined with compatible accessories such as:
- Manufacturer-compatible remote controls and radio receivers
- Infrared safety photocells and other supported safety devices
- Flashing / warning lights
- Push buttons and key switches
- GSM gate openers and dry-contact mobile access controllers
- Keypads, RFID readers, intercom systems and access-control relays
- Electric locks where required by gate length, wind load or manufacturer guidance
- Battery backup or low-voltage accessories where supported by the exact 24V control system
Accessory voltage, input type and radio compatibility should be checked before connection. Do not assume that an accessory from the same brand is compatible with every controller generation.
