Maximum Controls SUPER-ARM-2300 Commercial Actuator

Maximum Controls SUPER-ARM-2300 Commercial Linear Gate Actuator

The SUPER-ARM-2300 by Maximum Controls is engineered as a true heavy-duty commercial actuator. Its patented brake system allows the operator to retract with extreme force — when force exceeds 3 tons, the clutch releases upon impact and automatically resets, protecting the operator from vehicle strike damage during gate motion. The unit features a continuous duty, brushless motor, intelligent ramp-up and ramp-down for smooth operation, and a professional-grade control board designed for complex, high-traffic access control environments. Additional entrapment prevention devices are required.

Key Features

• Continuous duty cycle brushless motor
• Patented clutch release at over 3-ton impact — automatically resets after release
• Intelligent ramp-up and ramp-down for smooth gate operation
• 24VDC battery backup with (2) 7Ah batteries — up to 500 full cycles on backup; three selectable backup modes: open once, leave open, or leave closed
• Switchable 115/230 voltage selection
• On-board switch for solar mode enables 18 milliamp idle in sleep mode
• Direct gear drive — no internal chains, belts, or pulleys
• Stainless steel output shaft
• Corrosion protection: gold zinc and powder coated aluminum housing
• Steel cover with lock protects against intruders and vandalism
• High cycles at extreme temperature ranges: -4°F to 165°F (-20°C to +74°C) including battery backup without a heater
• Robust lightning protection up to 20KVolts and 10KAmps on all inputs and outputs (35 channels), including loop detector input connections
• Adaptive DSP motor control for advanced motion control
• Real time performance analyzer and event log (OBD PORT and Black Box)
• Magic Box enables low voltage wiring for remote power up to 1,000 ft
