FAAC C850 / C851 – High-Speed Continuous Duty Operator
Engineered strictly for environments where speed is critical and failure is not an option. Move 1,800 kg industrial gates at up to 42 meters per minute without ever overheating.
The FAAC C850 and C851 redefine the limits of industrial gate automation. Standard industrial motors are powerful, but they are often slow. The C850/C851 series breaks this compromise by integrating a powerful 1.1 KW three-phase motor with an advanced on-board frequency inverter.
This sophisticated inverter technology allows the motor to be powered by standard 230V mains while internally generating three-phase power. This results in unprecedented performance: a colossal 100% continuous use duty cycle and programmable gate speeds reaching an incredible 40 to 42 meters per minute. It is the absolute pinnacle for high-security facilities, prisons, and logistic hubs that require massive gates to open and close instantly.
The FAAC C850 / C851 Model Variations
The 850 family is designed for total industrial supremacy, evolving slightly between generations to improve limit switch and control board integration:
FAAC C850 (Legacy High-Speed)
The original high-speed titan. Equipped with the E850 electronic control unit and integrated inverters, it achieves a maximum speed of 42 m/min. It relies on 4 integrated mechanical limit switches for positioning. (Note: Available only while legacy stocks last).
FAAC C851 (Modern High-Speed)
The fully modernized equivalent. It features the highly advanced E850S electronic device. This upgraded board refines the inverter programming and upgrades the limit switch array to a hybrid system utilizing both mechanical and magnetic limit switches for flawless stopping precision even at 40 m/min speeds.
Unmatched Industrial Features
1. Built-in Frequency Inverter
By utilizing an on-board inverter (OMRON), the C850/C851 has total, granular control over the motor’s RPM. This allows for massive acceleration, rapid top speed, and precisely controlled soft-starts and soft-stops, preventing mechanical shock to the gate hardware.
2. 100% Continuous Duty
The internal combination of a three-phase motor architecture, worm-screw mechanics, and total oil-bath lubrication ensures the motor runs remarkably cool. It is officially rated for a 100% duty cycle, meaning it can operate continuously, 24/7, without any necessary rest periods.
3. Integrated Electric Brake
A 1,800 kg gate moving at 40 meters per minute generates terrifying kinetic energy. The C850/C851 features a specialized, integrated electric brake mounted directly on the 1.1 KW motor. This guarantees instant stopping and total irreversibility when closed.
