The BFT Deimos BT A600 offers a powerful and weather-resistant sliding gate automation solution — engineered in Italy, built for demanding use, and ideal for hot, sandy climates like Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

What is BFT Deimos BT A600?
The BFT Deimos BT A600 is a sliding gate motor designed to automate gates up to 600 kg — making it well-suited for residential villas, small commercial properties, and medium-size entrances. It’s part of the established BFT Deimos product line, known for reliability and smooth operation

Key Specifications and Features

  • Gate Capacity: Up to 600 kg — suitable for heavy sliding gates for villas or medium-size entrances. 

  • Motor & Power: 24 V DC motor, with 230 V AC board supply, consuming only about 70 W — energy-efficient, yet powerful enough for heavy gates. 

  • Speed: Gate leaf movement at ~12 meters/min — smooth and quick operation. 

  • Control Unit: Uses BFT’s “HAMAL” control board, built into the motor for compact installation and easier setup. 

  • Soft Start / Soft Stop: Provides gentle starts and stops, reducing mechanical stress — helps increase lifespan of gate and motor. 

  • Safety & Obstacle Detection: Equipped with “D-Track” system — automatically detects obstacles, stops and reverses if needed, enhancing safety for users and preventing damage. 

  • Manual Release: In case of power outage, gate can be manually released via a personal key — ensures access even during blackout. 

  • Weather & Environment Resistant: Protection rating IP24 (some versions IP44) and operational temperature from –20 °C to +55 °C — well suited for UAE’s hot weather and occasional dust exposure.
