Description

The CAME Frog-A Automation Kit is the premium, standard 230V AC underground electromechanical operator system designed for heavy-duty swing gates. Engineered for residential estates, private driveways, and architectural properties where maintaining a clean aesthetic is crucial, the entire drive assembly is hidden sub-surface inside rugged steel foundation boxes.

The high-inertia system is optimized for heavy wrought-iron or solid-clad timber gates measuring up to 3.5 meters in length or up to 800 kg per leaf, providing a massive 320 Nm of starting torque within a fully waterproof IP67-rated submersible enclosure.

Core Engineering & Mechanical Design

• Invisible Surface Aesthetic: The electromechanical gearmotors drop completely out of sight beneath the driveway line, leaving only a heavy-duty steel drive plate visible flush with the paving stones.

• High-Inertia Raw Torque: Powered by a line-voltage 230V single-phase motor, the system generates deep starting thrust to cleanly swing wide, wind-resistant or fully boarded timber leaves that might stall lower-voltage setups.

• IP67 Submersible Architecture: Built to survive harsh outdoor drainage environments, the motor casings are fully sealed against water and dust infiltration, allowing the system to continue running safely even if the foundation box temporarily fills with standing rainwater.

• Self-Locking Drive Security: The FROG-A utilizes an irreversible gear design that mechanically locks the gates securely in place when the motor stops, providing structural perimeter defence without strictly requiring a secondary physical latch.
