Clopay® Corporation now offers the low-profile Tube Motor Operator and the EverGard™ Tube Motor Operator with battery backup. Both new products enhance functionality and ease of use for a variety of door types, including rolling counter doors, security grilles, and light gauge service doors. Available through the Cornell and Cookson brands, these products encapsulate Clopay’s continued commitment to door control system quality and innovation.

The Tube Motor Operator is a service tubular AC motor operator with a low profile, lightweight design, and compact side room. With an impressive rating of 5 cycles/hour, this motor operator is UL325 listed and available in 3-inch and 4-inch type motors that work with a wide range of door sizes.

The Tube Motor Operator includes an auxiliary hand crank for manual operation in emergencies, plus built-in Open/Close/Stop buttons and a 24 VDC output signal that warns when the door is in motion. It also has a dedicated terminal for connecting a monitored entrapment protection device, and it includes a close override feature in case the entrapment device malfunctions. An optional secondary monitored entrapment module is available for added protection. A one-second delay prior to reversing is also in place to prevent operator injury and door damage.

Standard components of the Tube Motor Operator are auto-reset thermal protection that prevents motor burnout, electronic limit switches that enable limit setting via a simple three-button station at floor level, and an exterior radio-control terminal for fast, easy connection of radio controls. It is pre-wired for additional optional sensing devices, and users can add an edge device, photo eye, or other detection device as desired.
