Adjustable oil damper ÖDR
Outdoor hinged gates can be very dangerous if they move in an uncontrolled way: especially those with ascending hinges on slopes, those that are opened or closed by wind, or those that move very smoothly despite their heavy weight and therefore easily move too fast. The result: a very high risk of accidents and mechanical damage to the gate system.
Characteristics of the product
- Stepless adjustment of the damping force
- Withstands tension loads of up to 1500 N
- Easy adjustment of the damping force when installed by means of external regulation

Radial dampers
Sliding gates on slopes are moved by a gate operator under normal circumstances. Radial dampers reduce the load on the operator during closing and prevent the gate from racing downhill without braking in the event of a malfunction of the operator.
Characteristics of the product
- Especially for outdoor use: housing made of aluminum, gear wheel made of stainless steel
- The freewheel in the toothed gear is protected against moisture penetration by an additional sealing ring
- For very large gates as double radial damper
- Loading capacity up to 7 Nm or 12.2 Nm
- Second safety in case of failure of the operator
- Available with different gear modules (module 4 & module 6), matching the gear rack of the operator
Application examples
Safely closed access gates in daycare center thanks to the gate closer DIREKT
Access gates must always be reliably closed at this daycare center so that children cannot run out into the street. With the DIREKT, the gate closes automatically after each opening, without any risk of injury from a slamming door, because the closing speed can be adjusted precisely to suit the application.
Gate system in the courtyard of an apartment building securely closed thanks to concealed door closer RTS
The hinged gate of the courtyard should always close on its own. But the door closer should not be visible. Because vandalism or even accidental damage to the door closer could prevent it from closing automatically. The RTS built-in door closer now closes the gate automatically – without attracting attention.
Controlled opening of custom access gate
Suction and high wind loads caused the heavy hinged gate to open practically uncontrollably. Now, two adjustable oil dampers ensure that the gate always opens slowly and is comfortable to operate, even with strong winds.
Entrance sliding gate on a slope – Safety thanks to DICTATOR radial dampers
Sliding driveway gates on slopes are usually equipped with an operator, as they are almost impossible to control by hand. A DICTATOR radial damper works together with the operator and prevents dangerous situations: in the event of failure of the operator: It controls the speed of the gate over the entire travel and ensures secure and slow closing.
