01 / GATE
Gate Length and Structure
A longer gate can create different leverage and wind-loading conditions even when its total weight is similar.
Rack-and-pinion gate automation
156 Series AC Sliding Gate Opener
Model Options for Gates from 500 to 2500 kg
Choose an OMKER 156 series AC sliding gate opener around the real gate load, travel condition and access requirements. Six configurations combine single-phase AC drive, adjustable control functions and external accessory interfaces.

Choose a Model for Your Gate Weight
Use gate weight as the first filter, then confirm gate length, rolling resistance, duty requirements and supply voltage before selecting the final configuration.
| Model | Maximum Gate Weight | Rated Power | Maximum Torque | Speed | Protection |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DCK-156D | 500kg | 370W | 18Nm | 12m/min | IP44 |
| DCK-166D | 800kg | 450W | 22Nm | 12m/min | IP44 |
| DCK-166E | 1200kg | 550W | 35Nm | 12m/min | IP44 |
| DCK-176D | 1600kg | 750W | 50Nm | 12m/min | IP44 |
| DCK-186D | 2000kg | 900W | 60Nm | 12m/min | IP44 |
| DCK196D | 2500kg | 1200W | 75Nm | 12m/min | IP44 |

Selection conditions
What Else Matters Beyond Gate Weight?
The maximum gate-weight figure is not a complete project specification. These site conditions affect motor load, movement quality and component selection.
02 / ROLLING
Track and Wheel Resistance
Alignment, debris, worn rollers or rail deformation can increase the force required to move the gate.
03 / DUTY
Daily Opening Frequency
Share the expected traffic pattern so the configuration can be reviewed against real operating demand.
04 / POWER
Local AC Supply
The series supports single-phase AC versions; provide the destination voltage before quotation and production.
Control the full movement cycleRemote opening, stopping and closing can be adjusted around the entrance.
Movement control
Adjust Gate Movement to Your Entrance
The 156 series supports remote OPEN–STOP–CLOSE control, adjustable motor output torque, working time and soft-stop width. The soft-start function can also be disabled where the project configuration requires it.
Automatic closing delay and obstacle response connect motor control with actual traffic flow. Final settings should be commissioned for the gate's movement, track condition and installed safety devices.
- Adjustable soft-stop width for the closing and opening approach
- Selectable auto-close timing for controlled access
- Automatic reversal when an obstacle is detected during closing
System integration
Connect Access Controls and Safety Accessories
Available interfaces let the sliding gate motor work as part of a wider entrance system. Confirm which external devices are included and which must be ordered separately.
| Device | Role in the entrance | Configuration |
|---|---|---|
| Infrared photocell | Detects an obstruction across the protected gate path | External accessory |
| Alarm lamp | Provides a visible warning while the gate is operating | External accessory |
| Button or keypad | Provides local command or authorized user entry | Connect through supported interface |
| GSM device | Adds compatible mobile-network access control | External module |
| Wi‑Fi / Bluetooth APP | Supports optional connected management | Optional controller configuration |
Installation and maintenance
Plan the Drive, Rack and Manual Access
1
Check the gate movement first
The gate should roll freely on aligned wheels and a clean, stable track before motor sizing.
2
Align the rack and pinion
Consistent engagement along the full travel path supports reliable force transfer.
3
Keep service space available
Allow room for wiring, adjustment, cover removal and scheduled inspection.
4
Plan power-outage access
The emergency manual key release provides manual operation; it is not a backup power source.
Applications
Sliding Gate Automation for Different Entrances
Select around the actual gate, traffic pattern and control system rather than assigning every application to the heaviest motor.
Residential Driveways
Prioritize smooth movement, safe accessory placement and a model matched to the lighter gate load.
Factory Entrances
Review gate mass, daily cycles, access-control integration and maintenance access.
Logistics Park Access
Match the motor and peripherals to long gates, vehicle throughput and site security controls.
Series application brief

156 Series Sliding Gate Opener FAQs
Which 156 series model suits my sliding gate?
Start with the measured gate weight, then consider gate length, rolling resistance, wind exposure and daily opening frequency. Use the model table as a first filter and confirm the final selection with OMKER.
What power supply does the series require?
The listed series uses single-phase AC power with 120V and 220–240V versions. Provide the destination voltage and frequency when requesting a quotation.
Can the soft-stop settings be adjusted?
Yes. The published product information states that the soft-stop width can be adjusted, and the soft-start function can be disabled. Commissioning should suit the actual gate movement.
Can I connect photocells and access controls?
The controller supports interfaces for infrared sensors, alarm lamps, external button switches and GSM devices. These external devices should be confirmed as separate supplied items where applicable.
How is the gate operated during a power outage?
A manual key release is provided for emergency manual operation. This release should not be described as a battery backup or automatic power-failure system.
What information should I send for a quotation?
Provide the gate weight and length, track and wheel condition, local voltage, daily operating frequency, required accessories, purchase quantity and clear site photos.
