Sommer Garage Door Motors

All of our garage door operators are equipped with the travelling motor operator system developed by sommer.

Sommer garage door motors. The sommer group is active globally with its own branch offices and representatives. The sensitive internal obstacle detection and the safety sensors constantly monitor every door movement and insure the highest level of safety. Our hardware and software is developed completely in house and is renowned for the outstanding quality and innovative technology made in germany. This type of lift system is called a direct drive which uses a stationary chain that s quieter and faster than most other types of garage openers.

Sommer is one of europe s leading manufacturers of high quality garage door openers and wireless control systems. The motor track carriage moves itself along a tensioned chain so that no frictional loss or loss of power occurs. What makes our operators so powerful is the clever technology. The 3 4 hp sommer direct drive is powered by a motor that unlike those on most garage openers moves along the rail with only one moving part.

The maintenance free patented technology offers a traveling motor that attaches directly to the garage door it is stronger than a chain drive and quieter than a belt drive. This makes them especially smooth running and durable. It is ideal for garages with adjacent living spaces. The sommer direct drive technology ensures an extremely quiet and smooth garage door operation.

A direct drive 24v dc motor provides maximum lifting force.
