The FAAC 109321.1 – C721 Slide Gate Operator is a high-performance 24V DC sliding gate motor designed for both residential and light-commercial applications. Capable of automating gates up to 1,800 lbs (800 kg) in weight and up to 55 feet (17 m) in length, the FAAC C721 provides smooth, quiet, and energy-efficient operation.
Its 24V low-voltage motor allows for safe installation, reduced power consumption, and the ability to work with a battery backup system for uninterrupted access during power outages. The integrated electronic control board offers advanced features such as obstacle detection, soft start/stop, adjustable speed, and auto-closing timers.
Built with a die-cast aluminum housing and thermoplastic cover, the FAAC C721 is built to last in outdoor environments and supports high-frequency operation with minimal maintenance.
