Elegance at the Gate – The New Black Edition is Here!
With the launch of the twist M S3 / ML S3 black models, SOMMER brings a breath of fresh air to the world of swing gate operators: elegant, powerful, and equipped with the latest technology.
Style Meets Function: What’s New
The twist M S3 / ML S3 black variant impresses with its elegant black look: a black anodized drive tube and black powder-coated post and gate leaf fittings emphasize the sophisticated design.
Technical Highlights at a Glance
Compact & universal: Suitable for both DIN left & right, and for single- and double-leaf gates – saving storage space and increasing flexibility.
Controlled soft run: The speed is reduced just before reaching the end position – protecting both mechanics and gate.
Dimensions identical to predecessor: Installation fits seamlessly onto the existing twist 200 E/EL drilling patterns – a real advantage for retrofitting.
Comprehensive connections: Includes safety features such as photocells, warning light, emergency release, potential-free relay contact, and power supply for accessories.
Safe & convenient: Self-locking (no electric lock required), dynamic power measurement (DPS), manual release even in case of power failure – optionally via Bowden cable from the outside.
M or ML? The Differences That Matter
twist M:
- Drive tube length: 390 mm
- Opening angle up to 120°
twist ML:
- Longer drive tube: 550 mm → allows an opening angle up to 130°
- Particularly suitable for wide posts and steep installation situations
Everyday Benefits
- Convenient pedestrian function – controllable when only one gate leaf is needed.
- Automatic closing – the gate closes automatically after a set interval (e.g., after passing through the photocell).
- Energy-saving – in standby mode, the system requires minimal power (less than 0.5 W).
