LIFE OP5 UNI – Italian Engineered Heavy-Duty 5 Metre Swing Gate Automation
The LIFE OP5 UNI is a long-stroke Italian electromechanical swing gate operator intended for larger gates where additional actuator travel and robust mechanical construction are required. With a 487 mm stroke, 2000 N thrust and 230V AC power, it is a strong option for large villas, compounds and compatible commercial entrances.
Designed for professional automatic swing gate projects in the United Arab Emirates, LIFE OP5 UNI 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.
LIFE OP5 UNI Features
- Suitable for gate leaves up to 5 metres when the gate weight, geometry, hinge condition and wind load are within the manufacturer's limits
- Published capacity up to approximately 900 kg in suitable configurations; actual allowable weight reduces with demanding leaf length and site conditions
- 230V AC irreversible electromechanical design with 210W rated power
- 2000 N maximum thrust and long 487 mm actuator stroke
- Approx. 28-second travel through 90° under specified conditions
- 35% duty cycle for residential and compatible commercial use
- Manual release system for emergency operation
- Full aluminium construction designed for external swing gate installation
- IP54 protection and wide stated operating temperature range
- Compatible with LIFE control unit, rolling-code remotes, safety photocells and flashing light

LIFE OP5 UNI 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.
LIFE OP5 UNI Compatible Accessories & Access Control
Depending on the selected LIFE control board and product revision, LIFE OP5 UNI 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.
