The CAME BK-1800 (KT Automation reference KTI02006002BK18) is an electromechanical sliding gate operator engineered specifically for high-mass perimeter access infrastructure. Delivering up to 1150 N of thrust force from a 480 W, 230 V AC motor (drawing 4.2 A), the BK-1800 is dimensioned to handle demanding commercial, industrial, and multi-user access points requiring precise movement for gate leaves weighing up to 1800 kg and measuring up to 20 meters in length.
Heavy Industrial Plants and Logistics Freight Yards
Manufacturing facilities, distribution warehouses, and bulk freight terminals require continuous vehicular security across exceptionally wide spans. The BK-1800 provides the necessary mechanical torque to operate single-leaf sliding barriers up to 20 meters at speeds of up to 10.5 meters per minute. Its self-locking irreversible gear mechanism mechanically resists back-driving, ensuring the gate leaf remains locked in closed positions without requiring secondary electric locks.
- Wide Span Entrances: Handles clear driveway spans across rail sidings, factory entries, and loading bays up to 20 m.
- High-Inertia Sliding Leaves: Generates 1150 N of traction force to drive structural steel frames and solid infill security gates up to 1800 kg.
- Harsh Environment Resilience: Encased in an IP44-rated enclosure with an operating temperature tolerance ranging from -20 °C to +55 °C.
Multi-Panel Telescopic Sliding Gate Installations
In facilities where lateral runaway space is restricted, multi-panel telescopic sliding gates divide the gate span into overlapping sections. The BK-1800 provides the heavy-duty drive required to overcome the compounding rolling resistance and inertia of multi-leaf telescopic drive transmissions. Pinion configurations engineered for module 4 or module 6 toothed racks allow rigid meshing and positive mechanical power transfer on demanding telescopic track systems installed on level foundations.
High-Density Multi-User Residential and Apartment Blocks
Residential housing societies, apartment blocks, and multi-tenant commercial compounds require high-capacity access coordination with quiet, compliant operation. The BK-1800 maintains acoustic emissions at or below 70 dB(A), making it suitable for residential perimeter lines. The integrated control unit simplifies access management across large populations, featuring internal storage capable of programming up to 250 individual transmitter users.
- Safety Hardware Integration: On-board terminals supply 24 V AC auxiliary power (up to 20 W) to run active infrared photocell arrays and support 8k2Ω resistive safety edges.
- Signaling and Warning: Direct 230 V AC output (up to 25 W) provides synchronized control for warning flashers during gate travel cycles.
- Manual Operation Safeguards: A locked front compartment with a dedicated triangular key allows facility staff to operate the manual release lever during power interruptions or commissioning procedures.
Controlled Commercial Facilities and Infrastructure Hubs
Corporate parks, transport terminals, and utility compounds classified under Class I electrical installations rely on the BK-1800 for automated access integration. The motor's internal thermal cut-out protection engages at 150 °C to protect internal windings against thermal overload under sustained heavy usage, ensuring dependable electro-mechanical perimeter access management across continuous operational cycles.
