Technical Specifications

VDS CARRERA 1000 KG Sliding Gate Opener

The VDS CARRERA 1000 is designed to automate compatible sliding gates weighing up to 1000 kg.

Its higher gate capacity makes it suitable for large residential gates, apartment buildings, compounds and selected commercial entrances.

230V Sliding Gate Motor

The CARRERA 1000-230 operates from a 230V AC power supply and uses a high-performance electric motor designed for dependable automatic sliding gate operation.

The 230V configuration provides semi-intensive operation with a specified frequency of use of approximately 50%.

330W High-Performance Motor

The VDS CARRERA 1000 uses a 330W electric motor operating at approximately 1400 RPM.

This provides reliable mechanical power for correctly installed sliding gates weighing up to 1000 kg.

10 Metres Per Minute Gate Speed

The CARRERA 1000-230 provides a nominal gate movement speed of approximately 10 metres per minute.

Actual opening and closing time depends on the gate travel distance, control settings and complete installation conditions.

Very Quiet Gate Operation

VDS specifies a noise level below 30 dBA for the CARRERA operator.

Its quiet operation makes it suitable for residential properties, apartment buildings and entrances where reduced operating noise is desirable.

Die-Cast Aluminium Construction

The CARRERA features a strong die-cast aluminium structure with a powder-painted external finish.

This durable construction helps protect the gate operator during long-term outdoor use.

Steel & Cast Internal Gears

The internal transmission uses durable steel and cast gears manufactured from solid materials for reliable mechanical operation.

These components transfer power from the electric motor to the M4-Z16 output pinion that drives the sliding gate rack.

Lithium Grease Lubrication

The mechanical components use lithium-grease lubrication to help protect against corrosion, oxidation and rust while maintaining smooth operation.

M4-Z16 Pinion

The VDS CARRERA 1000 uses an M4-Z16 pinion designed to operate with a compatible Module 4 sliding gate rack.

Correct rack positioning and pinion alignment are essential for smooth and reliable automatic gate movement.

Electronic Torque Control

The CARRERA supports electronic torque control when used with the appropriate VDS electronic control system.

This allows the automation system to manage motor force according to the gate and installation requirements.

Anti-Squashing Safety Function

With compatible VDS electronics, the gate automation system supports anti-squashing functionality and controlled obstacle response.

Correct force settings and suitable safety devices such as photocells remain important for safe automatic gate operation.

Gate Slowdown Function

The compatible VDS control system provides a slowdown function near the end of gate movement.

Slowing the gate before the final stopping position helps reduce mechanical shock and provides smoother opening and closing.

Manual Emergency Release

The VDS CARRERA incorporates a manual release mechanism with a customised key.

This allows the sliding gate to be moved manually when required, such as during a power failure, emergency or maintenance.

Available with Control Unit

The VDS CARRERA 1000 is available in different configurations. The operator can be supplied without a control unit or in a version with an integrated control unit and radio receiver.

The exact product configuration should therefore be confirmed before ordering.

Available with Encoder

Depending on the selected CARRERA configuration, the operator can be supplied with or without encoder functionality.

The correct version should be selected according to the required control system and gate automation functions.

Optional Battery Backup

Compatible CARRERA configurations can support an optional battery-backup system where the required control electronics and accessories are installed.

Battery backup can allow automatic gate operation during temporary mains power interruptions.

Residential Sliding Gate Motor

The VDS CARRERA 1000 KG is suitable for large villa entrances and residential sliding gates requiring more capacity than a standard 400 kg or 600 kg residential operator.

Apartment & Collective Gate Automation

VDS classifies the CARRERA series for residential and collective gate automation applications.

This makes the CARRERA 1000 suitable for correctly sized shared entrances, residential buildings and compounds where reliable automatic access is required.

Commercial Sliding Gate Applications

The CARRERA 1000 can also be considered for compatible commercial sliding gates where the gate weight, usage frequency and operating requirements remain within the motor specifications.

Check Gate Size Before Ordering

Before selecting the VDS CARRERA 1000 KG, check the actual gate weight, gate length, frequency of use, gate wheels, guide rollers, rack condition and overall mechanical movement.

The sliding gate should move smoothly and freely by hand before an automatic gate motor is installed.

Professional VDS Gate Motor Installation

Professional installation is recommended to ensure correct motor positioning, gear-rack alignment, limit-switch adjustment, electrical wiring, control-board programming and safety-device operation.

After installation, the gate should be tested through multiple complete opening and closing cycles to confirm smooth, safe and reliable operation.
