Description
FAAC 400 L SBS Hydraulic Swing Gate Operator – 104220
The FAAC 400 L SBS is a heavy-duty long-stroke 230V hydraulic swing gate operator designed for large residential, commercial and industrial swing gates requiring powerful, smooth and reliable automation.
Part number 104220 is the long-body SBS version of the FAAC 400, combining a 390mm rod stroke with a 1 L/min hydraulic pump, 6200N maximum expressed force and a maximum rod speed of 10mm/sec.
Designed for individual swing gate leaves up to 7 metres long when used with an electric lock, the 400 L SBS is particularly suited to large and heavy gates installed on substantial pillars or where additional operator stroke is required.
FAAC Part Number: 104220
💧 Heavy-Duty Hydraulic Technology
The FAAC 400 uses a self-contained hydraulic drive system combining an electric motor, hydraulic pump and hydraulic piston.
Hydraulic technology provides exceptionally smooth and quiet gate movement while continuously lubricating the internal hydraulic components.
The 400 L SBS incorporates:
- Hydraulic motor-pump unit
- Hydraulic piston
- Gerotor pump
- Adjustable hydraulic bypass valves
- Manual release system
- FAAC HP hydraulic oil
🔓 SBS Non-Locking Configuration
Part number 104220 is the SBS L version of the FAAC 400.
The SBS configuration does not incorporate hydraulic locking.
Unlike the CBC and CBAC versions of the FAAC 400, the SBS operator does not hydraulically secure the gate when stationary.
A separate electric lock should therefore be incorporated into the installation to mechanically secure the gate.
🚪 Gate Leaves Up to 7 Metres
FAAC specifies the 400 L SBS for individual swing gate leaves up to:
- 7 metres with electric lock
This makes the 400 L SBS one of the FAAC 400 configurations specifically suited to very large swing gate leaves.
Typical applications include:
- Large residential driveway gates
- Commercial entrances
- Industrial entrances
- Large architectural gates
- Wide single swing gates
- Heavy double swing gate systems
- Shared access entrances
Actual operator suitability also depends on gate construction, weight, wind loading, hinge condition and installation geometry.
↔️ 390mm Long-Stroke Design
The 400 L SBS provides 390mm of rod travel.
This is substantially greater than the 270mm stroke of the standard 400 SBS.
The additional stroke provides greater flexibility where the gate is mounted on a large pillar or the hinge position requires additional operator travel.
The long-body operator measures approximately 1277mm in overall length compared with approximately 1034mm for the standard-length FAAC 400 models.
🏗️ Designed for Large Pillars
FAAC specifically developed the long versions of the 400 for installations involving large-sized pillars.
The increased operator length and 390mm stroke can help avoid the need to create deep niches in substantial masonry pillars.
This makes the 400 L SBS particularly useful for:
- Large masonry pillars
- Deep hinge offsets
- Wide steel posts
- Architectural entrance columns
- Existing gates where pillar modification is undesirable
- Installations requiring increased hydraulic operator travel
Correct FAAC mounting geometry must still be maintained.
💪 6200N Maximum Force
The FAAC 400 L SBS provides up to approximately 6200N of maximum expressed force.
This substantial hydraulic force allows the operator to control large gate leaves while retaining the smooth movement characteristic of FAAC hydraulic automation.
Hydraulic bypass valves allow the operating force to be adjusted during commissioning according to the requirements of the gate and complete safety system.
⚙️ 1 L/min Hydraulic Pump
The 104220 uses a 1 L/min hydraulic motor-pump unit.
FAAC specifies:
- Pump capacity: 1 L/min
- Maximum rod speed: 10mm/sec
- Maximum expressed force: 6200N
This provides a balance between substantial hydraulic force and controlled operating speed for large swing gate applications.
📐 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
The additional 390mm stroke provides greater installation flexibility, particularly where large pillars or deep hinge offsets are involved.
🔐 Electric Lock Required
The FAAC 400 L SBS does not incorporate hydraulic locking.
An electric lock should therefore be installed to mechanically secure the gate when closed.
This is particularly important with the large gate leaves for which the 400 L SBS is designed.
The electric lock is a separate component and is not included with the individual operator.
🔧 Adjustable Hydraulic Bypass Valves
The FAAC 400 incorporates adjustable hydraulic bypass valves which limit the maximum hydraulic force transmitted to the gate.
These allow the installer to configure the operating force according to the characteristics of the individual gate.
Appropriate safety devices must still be installed according to the requirements of the complete gate automation system.
🔁 Up to 70 Cycles Per Hour
FAAC rates the 400 L SBS at up to approximately 70 cycles per hour.
This makes the operator particularly well suited to frequently operated entrances including:
- Commercial properties
- Industrial facilities
- Strata complexes
- Apartment entrances
- Shared residential entrances
- Large private properties
- High-use driveway gates
🔓 Key-Protected Manual Release
The FAAC 400 incorporates a key-protected manual release system.
In the event of a power failure, system fault or servicing requirement, the hydraulic operator can be released to allow the gate leaf to be manually moved.
For installations where the gate is the only access point to the property, the location and accessibility of the manual release must be considered during system design.
⚡ 230V Hydraulic Operator
The FAAC 400 L SBS 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 gate automation 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
- Operator weight: approximately 10kg
The hydraulic drive provides smooth and extremely quiet operation while offering the durability required for demanding outdoor installations.
🧠 Optional SAFEcoder
A FAAC SAFEcoder BUS magnetic absolute encoder can be incorporated into compatible FAAC 400 installations.
When paired with compatible FAAC electronic control equipment, the SAFEcoder can provide enhanced:
- Gate movement monitoring
- Gate position control
- Electronic obstacle detection
- Anti-crushing functionality
The SAFEcoder and compatible electronic control equipment are separate accessories.
🛑 Optional Mechanical Stops
FAAC offers an optional Positive Stop kit which allows opening and closing mechanical stops to be integrated into compatible FAAC 400 operators.
This can simplify installations where dedicated mechanical stopping points are required.
The Positive Stop kit is sold separately.

Both are long-stroke 390mm operators, but they are intended for significantly different applications. The SBS L is the non-locking version for very large gate leaves, while the CBAC L provides hydraulic locking and higher maximum force for shorter gate leaves.
⚠️ Please Note
This listing is for FAAC part number 104220, the FAAC 400 SBS L long-stroke hydraulic swing gate operator.
The SBS L version does not incorporate hydraulic locking. An electric lock should be installed to mechanically secure the gate.
FAAC specifies a 1 L/min hydraulic pump, 10mm/sec maximum rod speed, 6200N maximum expressed force and 390mm rod travel.
The maximum specified individual gate leaf width is up to 7 metres when used with an electric lock.
The long-body design is primarily intended to provide additional stroke and improved mounting geometry for installations involving large pillars. It does not increase the 7 metre maximum leaf width compared with the standard 400 SBS.
The electronic control board is not incorporated into the operator and must be selected separately.
Electronic control equipment, electric lock, radio receiver, transmitters, photocells, optional SAFEcoder and other system accessories are separate unless specifically stated as included.
Maximum gate dimensions are manufacturer limits and do not automatically mean every gate within those dimensions is suitable. Gate construction, weight, wind loading, hinge condition, mounting geometry and operating frequency must also be considered.
