16 operator models built in-house – garage and sectional drives, roller-shutter and tubular motors, sliding and swing gate operators, jackshaft, fire and elevator door operators, servo control boxes and remotes. Operators are sized the way the market sizes them: garage and sectional drives by lifting force (roughly 600 N light residential to 1200 N heavy duty), sliding gate operators by gate weight (400 kg up to 2500 kg class), and tubular motors by torque. CE marked to EN 12453, with WiFi / RS485 connectivity and custom engineered to your specification for OEM programs.
An operator is only as good as its match to the door. The wrong torque-to-weight pairing, an incompatible control board, or a drive that cannot hold its duty cycle will generate warranty calls long after the container ships. RAX manufactures the door, the operator and the control electronics under one roof – so the motor, the limit setting and the safety inputs are engineered as a system, validated to 100,000 cycles, and shipped with wiring diagrams and CAD for your team to integrate.
Pain: torque/weight match & batch consistency
You integrate operators into your own sectional, roller and high-speed doors. You need a stable torque/speed match to door weight, consistent batch quality, control-board compatibility and OEM private labeling. RAX supplies matched openers, tubular motors and servo control boxes with private label, packaging and manual translation – and a 3-year operator / 5-year servo warranty you can stand behind.
Pain: bus connectivity & sensor integration
You need bus connectivity (RS485), WiFi/Bluetooth, dry-contact and API integration, and sensor inputs – radar, light curtain, geomagnetic loop. RAX operators carry WiFi / RS485 remote control for Industry 4.0 IoT door control, with radar / geomagnetic / light-curtain sensing and anti-pinch safety edge plus bottom air-bag sensor inputs.
Pain: parts compatibility & small-batch supply
You buy replacement operators, tubular motors and remotes in small batches and need exact compatibility plus fast shipping. RAX supports FCL & LCL, archives tooling and CAD up to 5 years, and ships free spare parts within warranty by DHL/FedEx in 5-7 days.
From ceiling-rail garage drives to wall-mounted jackshaft units, tubular shutter motors and fail-safe fire-door operators – every model is manufactured in-house and shipped with English manuals, CAD drawings and wiring diagrams. Any spec, custom engineered to your specification for OEM and industrial programs.

View product →Operators are selected by the load they must move and how often they must move it. The ranges below are typical industry selection values – drawn from published Western catalogues and standards – to help you frame your specification. RAX confirms the exact torque, lifting force, voltage, IP rating and duty cycle for your door on the engineering proposal.
| Garage / sectional lifting force | Typically ~600 N (light residential) to ~1200 N (heavy / industrial). For reference, Nice specifies its Spider garage operator at 800-1200 N with built-in WiFi and brushless technology. |
|---|---|
| Sliding gate – max gate weight | Selected by weight class, commonly ~400 kg up to 2500 kg and above. Nice segments its sliding range into “Up to 400 kg”, “400-600 kg”, “600-1000 kg” and “Over 1000 kg” classes. |
| Swing gate / door – rating basis | Rated by leaf length and weight rather than force; light-to-heavy leaf families exist for residential through estate and industrial leaves. |
| Tubular motor torque | From ~6 Nm (internal blinds / light screens – e.g. Somfy Sonesse 40 RTS at 6 Nm / 20 rpm) up to ~300 Nm and above for heavy 92 mm industrial shutter motors. |
| Tubular motor tube diameter | Commonly 35 mm / 45 mm for light-medium shutters and 59 mm / 92 mm for heavy industrial curtains (industry convention). |
| Motor voltage | 230 V AC mains for heavy / industrial drives; 24 V DC for intensive-use, battery/solar and residential safety applications. RAX operators use DC24V servo drive. |
| IP rating | IP44 is common for indoor tubular and gate operators; IP65 for external or exposed installations (industry convention – verify per model). |
| Duty cycle | Residential intermittent (short-time S2/S3) versus industrial intensive (high-percentage S3, or continuous with servo VFD drive). |
| Limit setting | Mechanical limit (standard) versus electronic / radio limit (premium, faster commissioning). |
| Operating temperature | Typically ~ −20 °C to +60 °C standard; cold-storage variants run lower. RAX systems are tested from −30 °C cold storage to +50 °C desert. |
| Smart control | WiFi, Bluetooth, RS485 bus and 433 / 868 MHz RF remote. RAX supplies WiFi / RS485 remote control (Industry 4.0 Ready). |
| Safety inputs | EN 12453 force limits, anti-pinch safety edge, photocell / light curtain, bottom air-bag sensor; soft start/stop standard on DC / brushless and servo drives. |
| RAX special variants | Explosion-proof motor (Ex d IIB T4); fire-door fail-safe operation (EI60 / EI120); radar / geomagnetic / light-curtain sensing. |
Integrity note: figures marked as industry convention or attributed to named manufacturers (Nice, Somfy) are published market benchmarks, not RAX certified specifications. RAX’s own per-model torque, force, IP and duty-cycle values are confirmed against your door weight, size and cycle rate on the proposal. RAX-claimable facts: DC24V servo drive, WiFi/RS485, explosion-proof Ex d IIB T4, fire rating EI60/EI120, anti-pinch safety edge, bottom air-bag sensor, 100,000-cycle fatigue validation, and 3-year operator / 5-year servo warranty.
A powered door system is not compliant on the operator alone. In the CE framework the operator is validated for safe forces within a complete door system, with protective safety devices tested separately. Understanding how these standards interlock is the fastest way to evaluate any supplier. RAX states CE marking to EN 13241 (door system) and EN 12453 (operator safety).
Sets the safety-use requirements and test methods for powered doors, gates and barriers where people can reach them – including the safe force limits (dynamic and static) that protect against crushing, shearing and drawing-in. It covers the full lifecycle (delivery, installation, use, deactivation, disposal) and is the core operator-safety standard. RAX operators carry CE to EN 12453.
The particular safety standard for drives moving residential garage doors vertically, with rated voltage not exceeding 250 V for single-phase appliances and 480 V for others; DC and battery units are included, as are the entrapment-protection devices used with such drives. Essential documentation for any residential garage door opener sold into Europe.
The umbrella product standard for industrial, commercial and garage doors and gates. For powered doors it requires protection against crushing, shearing and drawing-in, safe force levels, controlled stopping and EMC limits, plus mechanical strength, durability, wind-load resistance, thermal resistance and air leakage. Conformity is by type testing plus factory production control. RAX is CE marked to EN 13241.
Supplies the referenced mechanical test methods and criteria (strength, durability/cycling, mechanical safety including finger-pinch and spring/cable safety) that the door an operator drives must satisfy to demonstrate EN 13241 compliance. ICS 91.060.50.
Referenced by EN 13241 for the design and testing of protective safety devices – safety edges, light curtains and contact strips. This is the standard your safety edge and photocell must meet so the operator’s force limits and reversal logic work as a validated system.
Counterpart regional requirements. RAX can support AS/NZS 4505 (Australia) and UL (North America) counterpart test data for projects that need local-market conformity evidence alongside the CE documentation.
Practical CE message for buyers: a powered door needs the operator validated to EN 12453 (forces/safety) and – for residential drives – EN 60335-2-95, within an EN 13241 door system, with protective devices to EN 12978 and mechanical aspects to EN 12604. RAX ships a CE Declaration of Conformity plus EN 13241 test report with every order.

Six steps take you from a door drawing to a correctly sized, compliant operator. Send us these parameters and our engineers return a proposal with torque/force sizing, voltage recommendation and CAD layout.
Sectional overhead, roller shutter, sliding, swing, jackshaft-on-torsion-bar, fire or elevator. The motion determines the operator family – ceiling-rail trolley, shaft-mounted, tubular in-shaft, rack-and-pinion or articulated arm.
Garage and sectional drives are sized by lifting force in Newtons against door area and weight (~600-1200 N typical). Sliding gates are sized by gate weight (400 kg to 2500 kg+ classes). Tubular motors are sized by torque (Nm) at the shaft – a function of curtain weight and drum radius. Undersizing causes stall and overheating; oversizing wastes cost and can defeat safety-force tuning.
Residential intermittent use needs only a short-time rating; an intensive industrial or logistics door needs a high-percentage S3 duty cycle or a continuous servo VFD drive. Match the cycles-per-hour to the motor’s thermal limit so it does not throttle under load.
230 V AC mains suits heavy and industrial drives; 24 V DC suits intensive-use, battery/solar backup and residential safety (lower-voltage circuits simplify safe installation). RAX operators use 24 V DC servo drive for smooth, controllable operation.
Decide on RF remote (433/868 MHz), WiFi/Bluetooth, or RS485 bus for building-management integration, and specify activation sensors – radar, geomagnetic loop, light curtain – plus safety inputs (safety edge, photocell, bottom air-bag).
Require EN 12453 force-limit validation, EN 60335-2-95 for residential drives, protective devices to EN 12978, and the CE Declaration of Conformity within an EN 13241 door system. RAX supplies CE DoC, EN 13241 report, wiring diagrams, CAD and the Factory Inspection Report.
