RACO ELECTRIC ACTUATORS FOR BUILDINGS AND STRUCTURES
We offer customized solutions for drive systems in doors, gates and segment barriers that combine all aspects of modern architecture, climate control and building security. Systems for goods & heavy load elevators are also available.
Synchronization and exact positioning in combination with various security functions for personal protection are day-to-day business for RACO.
DOOR AND GATE OPERATION
Large gates, security doors and/or door systems that can be found in architecture for the design of exterior facades or heavy property protection are operated with RACO Electric Actuators.
The application example shows 40ft high glass swing doors at an atrium access. Each pivot axis of the total of 5 doors is driven by RACO Electric Actuators, which are connected by means of a lever arm in the basement. The RACOmatic® controls the movement profile and ensures exact positioning so that in the closed position a flush glass front is created even without a door stop.
In safety door systems with frame and fixed stop, the last inches are moved safely to the end position at creep speed and with active force limitation. Systems are optionally equipped with spring elements and/or emergency release.
SEGMENT BARRIERS
With RACO Electric Actuators segment barriers can be operated as access barriers with high impact loads. If the segment barrier is set down recessed in the roadway, the electric actuator is also relieved of load so that no forces are transmitted to the drive when a vehicle passes over it.
Areas with high security requirements such as banks, government facilities, power plants or other protected zones can thus be effectively protected against unauthorized entry.
Systems with a quick protection function can be moved into position in a few seconds.
ELEVATOR TECHNOLOGY
Heavy duty freight elevators are commonly used in modern architecture. These elevators are used to safely transport loads throughout the different stories of the building. Thy can be found in car storage facilities, hospitals, production plants, etc. .
Limiting the spring deflection when loading and unloading the cabin with the RACO SAFESTOP device not only enables access with forklifts and industrial trucks, but also with cars and vans.
BUILDING CLIMATE CONTROL
The historic 125-year-old palm house in the palace gardens in Vienna, with over 4,000 exotic plants, requires different areas with different climatic conditions.
For this purpose, windows in the roof and on the vertical glazing are opened and closed in a controlled manner using electric actuators.
Further applications were realized in hot regions for roof dome actuation and sun protection devices with RACO Electric Actuators.
We will be happy to help you.
