SonSec Technician's Notes
Confirm the exact model, site limits and manufacturer installation instructions before quoting or commissioning.
SonSec Verdict
SonSec recommends checking the site mechanics, power, safety devices and access-control needs before specifying Centurion R6 Rotary Swing Gate Motor.
Ideal For
Swing gates where rotary operation is better suited than a linear arm.
Wind-exposed or specific architectural sites where the R6 geometry is appropriate.
Existing R3, R5 or MaxiMate sites where Centurion R6 retrofit is technically appropriate.
When Not to Choose
Unconfirmed compatibility
Unsafe installation conditions
Things to Consider
Confirm standard-torque versus high-torque selection from the official manual before quoting.
Do not present R3 or R5 as current products; use them only as retrofit context.
Check gate profile, stops, locking and safety devices before installation.
Installation Notes
Pre-installation assessment
System integration
Handover planning

Service Life Expectations
Service life depends on correct installation, site load, duty cycle and preventative maintenance.
