Swing Gate Operator twist M
twist M / twist ML
The powerful swing gate operators for gates up to 2.5 m leaf width or 300 kg leaf weight

The twist M / ML swing gate operators from SOMMER can be flexibly used for right- and left-hinged as well as single- and double-leaf gates up to 300 kg or 2.5 m width – featuring smooth soft start/stop, controlled force measurement, and therefore particularly quiet and safe operation.

twist ML

Advantages of the longer stroke length of the twist ML

  • Operator can be mounted on very wide and masonry posts
  • Operator can be installed at a steeper angle to the gate
  • Opening angles of up to 130° are possible
  • The steeper position allows higher force in the closed position, making break-ins or forced openings more difficult

Product advantages

Flexible
  • universally suitable for DIN left and DIN right
  • single- and double-leaf operation
  • suitable for outward-opening gates with special fittings
  • microprocessor control with a wide range of settings, e.g. pedestrian gate function, automatic gate closing, adjustable pre-warning time, adjustable behavior when encountering an obstacle (full or partial gate reversal)
  • fast installation and simple electrical connection
  • Identical mounting dimensions to the twist 200 E/EL simplify retrofitting.
Safe
  • self-locking without electric lock
  • accident prevention through electronically controlled force measurement with DPS (Dynamic Power System)
  • operator can be manually released in any position (e.g. in case of power failure), optionally via Bowden cable from the outside
  • connections for safety devices such as warning light and photocell (4-wire), as well as for an external consumer (DC 24 V), potential-free relay contact
  • electronic limit switches with reed sensors ensure precise end position shut-off
Innovative
  • compact design
  • optional ambient lighting that illuminates the ground during gate movement
  • safe and convenient emergency release system with defined positions (locked/unlocked)
  • controlled soft start/stop in ramp form without loss of force ensures smooth and gate-friendly movement

Determine A-B dimensions and set end positions

The swing gate operator twist 200 E is used as an example to show how to determine the A-B dimensions and how to set the end positions. The diagram can be transferred to the swing gate operators twist M, twist ML, twist 200 EL, twist 350 and twist XL. The possible A-B dimensions can be found in the A-B dimension tables of the respective assembly and operating instructions. It is shown how the travel length can be extended and shortened with the setscrews.
