Description
FAAC 400 CBAC Hydraulic Swing Gate Operator – 104201
The FAAC 400 CBAC is a heavy-duty 230V hydraulic swing gate operator designed for residential, strata, commercial and high-use gate automation.
Part number 104201 is the standard-length CBAC version, featuring hydraulic locking in both opening and closing, a high-flow 1.5 L/min hydraulic pump and fast 15mm/sec maximum rod speed.
With its robust hydraulic construction, quiet operation and proven FAAC technology, the 400 CBAC is particularly well suited to frequently operated swing gates requiring strong and reliable automation.
FAAC Part Number: 104201
💧 Heavy-Duty Hydraulic Technology
The FAAC 400 uses a self-contained hydraulic system consisting of an electric pump and hydraulic piston which transfers movement to the gate leaf.
Hydraulic operation provides smooth and quiet gate movement while offering excellent durability for demanding applications.
The 400 CBAC incorporates:
- Hydraulic motor-pump unit
- Hydraulic piston
- Gerotor pump
- Adjustable hydraulic bypass valves
- Hydraulic locking
- Key-protected manual release
- FAAC HP hydraulic oil
🔒 CBAC Hydraulic Locking
Part number 104201 is the CBAC version of the FAAC 400.
CBAC provides hydraulic locking in both:
- Opening
- Closing
This allows the hydraulic system to resist movement of the gate when the motor is stopped.
Unlike the non-locking SB and SBS versions, the CBAC provides hydraulic locking as an integral part of the operator.
⚙️ High-Flow 1.5 L/min Pump
The 400 CBAC uses a 1.5 L/min hydraulic motor-pump unit.
FAAC specifies:
- Pump flow rate: 1.5 L/min
- Maximum rod speed: 15mm/sec
- Maximum expressed force: 4650N
The higher pump flow provides relatively fast gate movement while retaining the smooth characteristics of a hydraulic operator.
⚡ Fast 15mm/sec Rod Speed
The FAAC 400 CBAC provides a maximum rod speed of approximately 15mm/sec.
This makes the CBAC one of the faster standard FAAC 400 configurations and is particularly useful where efficient opening and closing is required on frequently operated entrances.
💪 Up to 4650N Maximum Force
The 400 CBAC provides up to approximately 4650N of maximum expressed force.
Hydraulic bypass valves allow the operating force to be adjusted during installation according to the requirements of the gate and complete safety system.
🚪 Gate Leaves Up to 2.2 Metres
FAAC specifies the current 400 CBAC for individual swing gate leaves up to 2.2 metres long.
The operator’s heavy-duty construction and high operating frequency make it particularly suitable for substantial gates requiring frequent daily operation.
Actual suitability also depends on gate construction, weight, wind loading, hinge condition and mounting geometry.
↔️ 270mm Rod Travel
The current FAAC specification for the standard-length 400 CBAC provides 270mm of rod travel.
This should not be confused with the long-body versions of the FAAC 400, which provide increased rod travel for different gate geometries and applications.
Correct front and rear mounting dimensions are essential to ensure the operator remains within its intended travel.
📐 Up to 125° Gate Opening
FAAC specifies a maximum gate leaf opening angle of approximately 125°.
The actual achievable opening angle depends on:
- Gate hinge position
- Pillar dimensions
- Rear mounting position
- Front mounting position
- Required operator geometry
Correct mounting dimensions must be established during installation.
🔧 Hydraulic Anti-Crush Protection
The FAAC 400 incorporates adjustable hydraulic bypass valves.
These valves limit the maximum hydraulic force transmitted to the gate and allow the installer to adjust operating force according to the individual installation.
Appropriate electronic and physical safety devices must still be installed according to the requirements of the complete gate automation system.
🔁 Up to 50 Cycles Per Hour
FAAC rates the current 400 CBAC at approximately 50 cycles per hour.
This makes the operator suitable for applications including:
- Residential driveways
- Shared residential entrances
- Strata properties
- Apartment complexes
- Commercial entrances
- Industrial entrances
- Frequently operated swing gates
🔓 Key-Protected Manual Release
The FAAC 400 incorporates a key-protected manual hydraulic release.
In the event of a power failure or system fault, the hydraulic drive can be released to allow the gate leaf to be manually operated.
The protected release system helps prevent unauthorised disengagement of the operator.
⚡ 230V Hydraulic Operator
The FAAC 400 CBAC uses a single-phase asynchronous electric motor.
FAAC specifies:
- Power supply: 220–240V AC, 50/60Hz
- Motor type: Single-phase asynchronous
- Maximum power: 220W
- Motor thermal protection: 120°C
Compatible external electronic control equipment is required to operate the system.
🌦️ Designed for Outdoor Automation
The FAAC 400 is designed for external swing gate automation and carries an IP55 protection rating.
FAAC specifies:
- Operating temperature: -20°C to +55°C
- Protection rating: IP55
- Hydraulic oil: FAAC HP Oil
The robust construction makes the 400 particularly well suited to demanding external gate installations.
🧠 Optional SAFEcoder
Compatible FAAC encoder equipment can be added to suitable 400 installations to provide enhanced electronic monitoring of gate movement.
When configured with compatible FAAC control equipment, the SAFEcoder system can provide:
- Accurate gate movement monitoring
- Electronic obstacle detection
- Anti-crushing functionality
- Improved position control
The encoder and compatible electronic control equipment are separate from the individual operator.
