Instructions for Calculating Telescopic Gates on a Monorail
The calculator allows you to accurately determine mounting dimensions and generate a specification of components for DIY gate manufacturing.
Main Construction Units:
1. Bottom rollers
2. Guide monorail
3. Cable rollers
4. Cable hitch
5. Top rollers
6. Guide U-profile
7. Upper catcher
8. Bottom stopper
Calculation Methodology and "KSV Formula" Parameters
Calculation Result: You receive precise mounting dimensions for building your drawing. All components can be purchased at the "KSV Systems" store.
Automation Installation Features
Increased Rollback: When the "With Automation" option is selected, the rollback space increases by 30 cm. The length of the sections remains unchanged.
Rack Mounting: A gear rack bracket is installed on section No. 1, extending 30 cm beyond the section limits. In total, 50 cm (A5+30cm) is required for the operator.
Synchronization Mechanism: Working Principle
As the main section (S1) moves, the second section (S2) follows via the cable mechanism. The system ensures smooth travel and simultaneous stopping of both gate leaves at the designated points.
Cable Routing Scheme (Loop H1-H2-H3-H4-H1):
- Point H1: Anchor point (automation base).
- Point H2: First roller on section S1.
- Point H3: Pass-through via section S2 hitch (installed with an offset of up to 10 cm from the edge in the overlap zone).
- Point H4: Second roller on section S1.
- Final: Cable return and fixation at the starting point H1.
