EXAMPLE DOOR & PULLEY CONFIGURATIONS
When using pulleys, please always ensure that the motor is not lifting more than it’s maximum rated weight capacity. You will also need to take into consideration the effect of friction, as the motor considers this to be ‘extra weight’.
Please remember, when lifting heavy doors,battery life may be reduced. We also advice that the energy required to raise a weighted door is the same, no matter how many pulleys are used;however, the door will travel more slowly if more pulleys are employed.
