The amazon link is the system I have purchased already. I am confident it is powerful enough, but I need to show calculations which is not my strong point in mechanics what it comes to force and torque and moment of inertia. Makes my head hurt.

The following short video would be pretty standard. I could distance the actuator about 100mm from the hinge if need be. This would widen the base of the triangle.

600mm when closed. 900mm when open approx. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07ZVH7R2W/?tag=pfamazon01-20 The actuator motor section is supposed to be very close to the gate hinges. The entire motor section rotates on its own bracket when opening/closing. I have attached the first iteration...

OK, so the motor end of the linear actuator will be beside the bottom hinge, perhaps 50mm and in parallel. The extension part of the actuator will be anchored 900mm (I just checked the extension) from the hinge on the gate. When the linear actuator retracts, the gate opens inward. When it...

Great question. For simplicity, let's say the gate is slammed shut. No velocity control features to account for.

15 seconds. Would be a little less than 90 degrees from fully closed to fully open.

Hi Guys. I hope everyone is well today. A swing gate of 2300mm x 750mm (LxH) with a uniform mass distribution totaling 64kg. Assuming the force is applied 500mm out from the hinge, how do I calculate the force required to open the gate? If needed, the hinges are hook and eyelet type...
