Sommer garage door motors.

The sommer direct drive technology ensures an extremely quiet and smooth garage door operation. The maintenance free patented technology offers a traveling motor that attaches directly to the garage door it is stronger than a chain drive and quieter than a belt drive. Our hardware and software is developed completely in house and is renowned for the outstanding quality and innovative technology made in germany. The sensitive internal obstacle detection and the safety sensors constantly monitor every door movement and insure the highest level of safety.

The spring loaded chain will never sag down and the advanced internal obstacle detection system and the safety beam sensors constantly monitor every door movement ensuring the highest level of safety. It is ideal for garages with adjacent living spaces. This makes them especially smooth running and durable. The motor track carriage moves itself along a tensioned chain so that no frictional loss or loss of power occurs.

This type of lift system is called a direct drive which uses a stationary chain that s quieter and faster than most other types of garage openers. Sommer is one of europe s leading manufacturers of high quality garage door openers and wireless control systems. The 3 4 hp sommer direct drive is powered by a motor that unlike those on most garage openers moves along the rail with only one moving part. The sommer group is active globally with its own branch offices and representatives.

A direct drive 24v dc motor provides maximum lifting force.
