Fail-Safe Motors for Rolling Shutters & Gates
Every commercial building, warehouse, and factory in India needs reliable shutter and gate motors. Our brake motors with gear provide the controlled, safe operation that building owners and facility managers demand.
Why This Application Demands Specialized Motors
Rolling shutter and automatic gate motors face unique challenges: they must hold heavy doors securely in any position during power failures (fail-safe braking), provide smooth, controlled opening/closing speed, survive thousands of daily cycles in commercial buildings, and include manual override for emergency exit. Indian installations face voltage fluctuations and power cuts that make fail-safe operation critical for security and safety.
How Sun Star Motors Solves It
Sun Star Motors™ brake motors with gear are the preferred choice for rolling shutters and automatic gates. The integrated fail-safe braking system holds the shutter/gate in position even during power failures — critical for security. Gear ratios from 10:1 to 60:1 provide the low-speed, high-torque output needed for heavy industrial shutters. The optional manual release lever enables manual operation during power outages, meeting fire safety requirements for emergency exits.

Best Motors for Rolling Shutter & Gate Motors
Brake Motor
Precision stopping meets industrial safety. Designed for cranes, hoists, and elevators, our brake motors feature a fail-safe AC braking system that ensures instant holding power the moment power is cut. Adjustable braking torque allows for fine-tuned control in frequent start-stop operations where safety is non-negotiable.
Break Motor With Gear
The ultimate solution for high-torque, slow-speed precision. By integrating a speed reducer with our fail-safe braking system, this unit provides exceptional control for material handling lifts and rotary tables. Compact and powerful, it delivers massive output torque while ensuring safe, immediate stopping.
5 HP Single Phase (132 F)
Professional-grade power for workshops and small machine tools. This high-torque single-phase motor brings industrial reliability to environments without three-phase access. Featuring a centrifugal starting switch and thermal protection, it's the reliable choice for flour mills, compressors, and woodworking machinery.
