Description
The CAME BX-74 Automation Kit (officially updated under the modern series code BX704AGS / part number 801MS-0020) is an intensive-use residential sliding gate operator. Engineered for medium-duty domestic driveways and small residential developments, this single-phase system is a reliable choice for sliding gates weighing up to 400 kg and measuring up to 14 meters in length.
Core Engineering & Mechanical Design
-
High-Torque 230V AC Drive: Running on line-voltage 230V AC power, the motor generates strong starting torque. This enables it to efficiently push standard iron, steel, or timber-clad residential gates through cold weather, wind resistance, or minor track debris.
-
Integrated ZBX7N Control Framework: The modernized chassis drops older manual dip-switches in favour of the advanced ZBX7N control board. This board features a built-in LCD programming screen, automatic radio decoding, and dedicated error-logging diagnostics.
-
Encoder-Monitored Force & Safety: To satisfy modern safety standards for impact forces, the motor incorporates an internal absolute tracking encoder. This component actively manages end-of-travel deceleration slowdown tracks to prevent harsh structural slams and triggers swift mechanical reversals upon meeting an obstacle.
-
Drop-In Retrofit Footprint: The updated BX704AGS casing shares the exact physical footprint, base plate design, and bolt positioning as the legacy BX-74 model, making it a direct drop-in replacement onto existing foundation bolts.
