MAX SUPER ARM 2300

HEAVY DUTY COMMERCIAL
LINEAR GATE OPERATOR

Clutch release on 3 ton impact makes the Super Arm the first true commercial actuator.

The Super Arm 2300 by Maximum Controls is the first true commercial actuator available on the market. What makes an actuator “commercial” you may ask? We think the following criteria has to be met:

+ If a gate is struck by a vehicle while in motion the actuator should not break.
+ The actuator must run on 230 VAC or 115 VAC.
+ SAMS or PAMS sequencing must be compatible.
+ The actuator must move a heavy gate in extreme conditions.
+ True RPM ramp up and ramp down must be employed.
+ Continuous duty cycle is imperative.
+ A professional control board is a must.
+ An industry standard 10 pin loop rack for easy access and safety.
+ Separate external loop detector inputs for complex scenarios.
+ Emergency reversal sensitivity selectable on open and close cycles.
+ The actuator must supply a gate in motion strobe output.
+ Work with a range of monitored safety devices.

The Super Arm 2300 has all of these features and more.

Max Super Arm 2300 Mechanical Specifications

Specifications listed in blue are unique to to Max Super Arm 2300

  • Shipping weight of Actuator: Super Arm (35 lbs)

Max Super Arm 2300 Safety Specifications

Specifications listed in blue are unique to to Max Super Arm 2300

  • UL 325/991 compliant Class I, II, III, and IV. CSA approved
  • Vehicle hit protection technology protects the gate operator from collision damage caused by automobile impact, avoiding costly repairs
  • Built in advanced entrapment protection and alarm output
  • Built in gate-in-motion alarm for industrial applications

Maximum Controls recognizes swing gates are more prone to vehicular collisions. For this reason the Max Super Arm 2300 will collapse on impact when struck by vehicular traffic. When a vehicle hits a moving gate, to avoid damage to the actuators, the clutch releases, then they reset automatically.

The Max Super Arm 2300 has a solid stainless steel output shaft and key lock for mechanical release. For emergency release unlock the key and lift up the hood. To engage the actuator, push down the hood and lock to resume automatic operation.

The Max Super Arm 2300 ships with a heavy duty half inch stock rear bracket that is broached and welded. Both brackets front and rear, are silver zinc plated.

The AC Control Box features rugged metal construction that is gold zinc plated and powder coated. Each AC Control Box comes with an exterior UL reset button, a convenient jog key switch for emergency access or egress, a 10 amp power supply with two 115 VAC accessory outlets, two 7 amp hour batteries conveniently located behind the control panel, a loop rack and much more. A lockable steel cover finishes off this handsome design.

A convenient LCD display keeps you informed. Functional data and error messages are visible when an accessory failure or function is present. This makes troubleshooting and fuction monitoring a breeze.

For asymmetric installations the two independent closing speeds can be adjusted to achieve a smooth closing sync. Whichever gate closes first, slow it down. This enables the installer to visually sync the closing cycle. This feature is unique to Maximum Control’s actuators.

The Max Super Arm 2300 offers the most robust lightning protection available in the industry. The Super Arm protects all peripheral inputs, loop inputs, power inputs, relay outputs, and all communication lines (over 35 channels of protection) in 1/1,000,000,000 of a second. With special emphasis on power supply protection, the Max Super Arm 2300 is guaranteed to withstand any lightning hit more than 50 feet away. Truly protected like no other operator in the world.
