Description
FAAC 422 CBAC Hydraulic Swing Gate Operator – 104200
The FAAC 422 CBAC is a compact 230V hydraulic swing gate operator designed for residential and light-commercial gate automation where smooth operation, reliability and hydraulic locking are required.
Part number 104200 is the standard-speed CBAC version of the FAAC 422, featuring a 1 L/min hydraulic pump and hydraulic locking in both opening and closing.
Designed for individual swing gate leaves up to 1.8 metres long, the 422 CBAC combines FAAC’s proven hydraulic technology with a compact operator body suitable for a wide range of swing gate installations.
FAAC Part Number: 104200
💧 FAAC Hydraulic Technology
The FAAC 422 uses a hydraulic drive system rather than a conventional electromechanical screw drive.
Hydraulic automation provides smooth and consistent gate movement and has long been used by FAAC for demanding swing gate applications.
The 422 CBAC incorporates:
- Hydraulic pump and motor assembly
- Hydraulic cylinder
- Adjustable hydraulic force
- Hydraulic locking
- Manual release system
🔒 CBAC Hydraulic Locking
Part number 104200 is the CBAC version of the FAAC 422.
CBAC provides hydraulic locking in both:
- Opening
- Closing
This allows the hydraulic system to resist movement of the gate when the operator is stopped.
The 104200 should not be confused with the SB versions of the FAAC 422, which are non-locking and intended for different gate applications.
⚙️ 1 L/min Hydraulic Pump
The 104200 uses the standard-speed 1 L/min hydraulic pump.
This provides a rod speed of approximately 13mm/sec and a maximum traction/thrust force of approximately 5000N.
The combination provides smooth but responsive movement for compatible residential and light-commercial swing gates.
💪 Up to 5000N Force
The FAAC 422 CBAC 104200 provides maximum traction/thrust of approximately 5000N.
Hydraulic force can be adjusted using the operator’s bypass valves, allowing the installer to correctly configure the operator according to the gate and complete safety system.
🚪 Gate Leaves Up to 1.8 Metres
FAAC specifies the 422 CBAC for individual swing gate leaves approximately:
- Minimum leaf length: 0.9m
- Maximum leaf length: 1.8m
The 422 CBAC is particularly suited to relatively compact swing gates where hydraulic operation and positive locking are desirable.
Actual suitability also depends on gate construction, weight, wind loading, hinge condition and mounting geometry.
↔️ Approximately 240–250mm Stroke
The FAAC 422 uses a compact hydraulic cylinder with an effective rod stroke of approximately 240–250mm depending on the applicable FAAC technical documentation.
Correct front and rear mounting dimensions are essential to ensure the operator remains within its designed travel throughout the gate movement.
📐 Up to 110° Opening
The FAAC 422 can provide a maximum gate opening angle of approximately 110° when installed within the specified mounting geometry.
The achievable opening angle depends on hinge position, gate geometry and the front and rear operator mounting positions.
🔧 Adjustable Hydraulic Bypass Valves
The 422 incorporates hydraulic bypass valves for adjustment of the force developed by the operator.
Separate adjustment allows the hydraulic force to be correctly configured during installation.
This provides an important mechanical method of controlling operator force in addition to the safety devices and control equipment used within the complete automation system.
🔓 Manual Hydraulic Release
A manual release allows the hydraulic operator to be released when manual gate movement is required.
This allows the gate to be manually operated during servicing, system faults or extended mains power failures.
🔁 55 Cycles Per Hour
FAAC rates the 422 CBAC at approximately 55 cycles per hour.
This makes the operator suitable for:
- Residential driveways
- Shared residential gates
- Strata entrances
- Small apartment entrances
- Light-commercial gates
The actual operating frequency should always be considered alongside gate size, installation conditions and ambient temperature.
⚡ 230V Hydraulic Operator
The 422 CBAC uses a single-phase asynchronous electric motor operating from a 220–240V AC supply.
FAAC specifies:
- 220–240V AC
- 50/60Hz
- 220W electric motor
- Approximately 1A current draw
- 1400rpm motor speed
- Thermal protection
The operator requires compatible external FAAC control equipment.
🌦️ Outdoor Gate Automation
The FAAC 422 is designed for external swing gate automation and carries an IP55 protection rating.
FAAC specifies an operating temperature range of approximately:
- -20°C to +55°C
The hydraulic system uses FAAC HP Oil.
🧠 Optional Encoder
Compatible FAAC encoder equipment can be incorporated into suitable 422 installations where enhanced electronic gate movement monitoring is required.
When paired with compatible FAAC control equipment, encoder monitoring can provide improved obstacle detection and electronic anti-crushing functionality.
Encoder equipment is separate and is not included with operator part number 104200.

⚠️ Please Note
This listing is for FAAC part number 104200, the FAAC 422 CBAC hydraulic swing gate operator with a 1 L/min hydraulic pump.
This is the standard-speed CBAC model and should not be confused with FAAC part number 104209, the slower 0.75 L/min CBACS version.
The CBAC configuration provides hydraulic locking in both opening and closing.
FAAC specifies a maximum individual gate leaf length of approximately 1.8 metres for this model.
Electronic control equipment, radio receiver, transmitters, photocells, encoder and other system accessories are separate unless specifically stated as included.
