Description
FAAC S450H CBAC Hydraulic Swing Gate Operator – 104100
The FAAC S450H CBAC combines the strength and reliability of hydraulic gate automation with the control and safety advantages of a modern 24Vdc system.
Designed for residential and light-commercial swing gates, the S450H uses FAAC Hybrid Technology to deliver fast, smooth and powerful gate movement together with integrated encoder monitoring, electronic obstacle detection and continuous-duty operation.
Part number 104100 is the S450H CBAC version, featuring hydraulic locking and designed for individual swing gate leaves up to 2 metres long.
FAAC Part Number: 104100
💧 FAAC Hybrid Technology
The S450H combines two proven technologies within a single operator:
- FAAC hydraulic drive technology
- 24Vdc electric motor and electronic control
This combination provides the robust mechanical characteristics of a hydraulic operator while allowing speed, force and safety functions to be managed electronically through compatible FAAC control equipment.
🔒 CBAC Hydraulic Locking
Part number 104100 is the CBAC version of the S450H and incorporates hydraulic locking.
The hydraulic system holds the gate securely when the operator is stopped, providing a self-locking gate automation solution within the specified application limits.
The CBAC version is specifically designed for gate leaves up to 2 metres long.
🧲 Integrated BUS Encoder
The S450H incorporates FAAC’s integrated BUS encoder as standard.
The encoder continuously monitors the position and movement of the gate and allows compatible FAAC control equipment to provide accurate electronic safety functions.
These include:
- Electronic anti-crushing protection
- Obstacle detection
- Rapid reverse on obstacle
- Accurate gate position monitoring
- Controlled acceleration and deceleration
- Electronic speed control
The encoder is integrated into the rear attachment of the operator.
💪 Over 5000N Maximum Force
The S450H is a powerful compact hydraulic operator.
FAAC’s current technical data specifies maximum expressed force exceeding 5000N when configured with compatible control equipment.
The electronic control board allows the operating force to be adjusted according to the requirements of the gate and installation.
⚡ High-Speed Gate Operation
The 24V hydraulic system allows considerably faster movement than many traditional hydraulic operators.
FAAC specifies a maximum rod speed exceeding 25mm/sec.
Actual operating speed can be adjusted through the compatible electronic control board, allowing the installer to balance speed, smoothness and safety for the individual gate.
↔️ 311mm Long Stroke
The S450H provides an effective rod stroke of 311mm.
The long stroke provides considerable installation flexibility and helps accommodate a wide range of swing gate mounting geometries.
📐 Multi-Position Mounting Bracket
The S450H incorporates FAAC’s multi-position rear mounting bracket.
This adjustable mounting arrangement simplifies installation and allows the operator position to be adapted to different gate pillars and hinge locations without requiring the conventional fixed welded rear bracket arrangement used by many linear operators.
The front mounting bracket is also adjustable and designed to be screwed into position.
🚪 Gate Leaves Up to 2 Metres
FAAC specifies the S450H CBAC 104100 for individual swing gate leaves between approximately:
- Minimum leaf length: 1.1m
- Maximum leaf length: 2m
The 3 metre maximum leaf specification associated with the S450H range applies to the non-locking S450H SB version and should not be applied to the CBAC 104100.
Actual suitability also depends on gate construction, weight, wind loading, hinge condition and installation geometry.
↔️ Up to 110° Opening
The S450H provides a maximum gate opening angle of approximately 110° when installed within the specified mounting geometry.
Correct positioning of the front and rear mounting brackets is essential to achieve the required gate movement while keeping the operator within its intended working travel.
🛑 Integrated Mechanical Stops
Opening and closing mechanical stops are incorporated into the S450H operator.
This can eliminate the need for separate external ground stops where the installation has been correctly configured to use the operator’s integrated stops.
The stops can be adjusted during installation to establish the required opening and closing positions.
♾️ Continuous-Duty Operation
FAAC rates the S450H for continuous use.
The combination of 24V operation and hydraulic drive technology makes it particularly suitable for gates requiring regular or frequent operation.
Typical applications include:
- Residential driveways
- Shared residential entrances
- Strata properties
- Apartment entrances
- Light-commercial entrances
- Frequently operated swing gates
🔋 Battery Backup Compatible
Because the S450H uses a 24Vdc motor, battery backup can be incorporated when used with compatible FAAC control equipment.
Available battery backup arrangements depend on the control board selected for the installation.
Battery backup equipment is separate unless specifically included as part of a complete automation package.
🔓 Manual Release
The S450H provides a manual hydraulic release system allowing the gate to be moved manually when required.
This allows manual operation during servicing or in situations where the automation system cannot operate normally.
🌦️ Outdoor Hydraulic Operator
The S450H is designed for external swing gate automation and carries an IP55 protection rating.
FAAC specifies an operating temperature range of:
- -20°C to +55°C
The hydraulic system uses FAAC HP Oil.
