Why Brushless Is Best — Fewer Breakdowns. More Uptime.
Brushless DC (BLDC) motors represent the future of automatic gate systems. Here's why.
Traditional Brushed Motors
❌ Carbon brushes wear out over time
❌ Generate heat and friction
❌ Lower efficiency (60-75%)
❌ Noisy operation
❌ Limited duty cycle
❌ Frequent maintenance required
❌ Shorter lifespan (3-5 years)
Brushless Motors (Roger)
✅ No brushes = minimal wear
✅ Cooler, more efficient operation (85-95%)
✅ Higher efficiency means lower energy cost
✅ Quieter, smoother motion
✅ High duty cycle (100+ cycles/day)
✅ Minimal maintenance
✅ Longer lifespan (10-15+ years)
How Brushless Motors Work
Electronic Commutation
Instead of mechanical brushes, brushless motors use electronic controllers to switch the magnetic field. This eliminates the primary wear component and allows for precise control.
Encoder Feedback
Built-in encoders provide real-time position data, enabling soft-start, soft-stop, and accurate obstacle detection—critical for safety.
Superior Torque Curves
Brushless motors deliver consistent torque across the speed range, meaning smooth acceleration and deceleration without jerky motion.

Safety & Surge Protection
Better Motor Control
Integrated controllers provide precise obstacle detection and force limiting. Brushless systems can sense resistance and stop immediately, protecting people and vehicles.
Surge Protection
We pair every Roger system with proper surge protection and grounding. Lightning strikes are common in Jamaica—protect your investment with engineering-grade protection.
