A side motor is a compact, horizontally mounted motor designed to automate the operation of sliding doors, gates, or roller systems where overhead or in-tube mounting is impractical. Positioned alongside the door or gate, this motor connects to the door’s track or drive mechanism via a chain, belt, or gear system, converting rotational motion into linear movement to open or close the door. Ideal for space-constrained areas, side motors are commonly used in residential sliding gates, commercial glass sliding doors, and industrial sliding partitions. They offer reliable performance with adjustable speed and torque settings to match the door’s weight and size. Many models support remote control or smart operation, enhancing convenience. Features include safety sensors to detect obstacles, manual override options for emergencies, and weather-resistant casings for outdoor use. They are designed for easy installation, with mounting brackets that adapt to various door frames. Our side motors are engineered for durability and quiet operation, with minimal maintenance requirements. They are compatible with most standard sliding systems.
