The two numbers that decide this purchase
Before the spec sheet, two figures matter more than anything else on this page. The first is your gate’s real weight, not its size. The second is the rack already fitted, if your gate has one.
The Life ACER AC6R DL is rated to 600 kg. Weigh your gate leaf rather than judge it by eye, since a wide gate with a steel frame and solid infill can carry far more weight than it looks like it does.
Choosing between the Life ACER AC6R DL and the AC6RM DL
Life sells this 600 kg motor in two versions, both carrying the same weight rating.
| Version | Limit switch type |
|---|---|
| AC6R DL | Electromechanical |
| AC6RM DL | Magnetic |
This listing is the standard DL version. If a manual, a quote, or an existing control board on site refers to the M DL, tell us before ordering, since the boards are not interchangeable spares.

A 35 percent duty cycle means the motor is built to run for roughly a third of any given period before it needs to rest. For a villa gate opening a normal number of times a day, this is well within comfortable range. For a shared compound entrance opening far more often, tell us the daily cycle count and we will confirm this is still the right motor rather than a heavier duty one.
Which Life ACER model suits your villa gate in Oman
We stock the full Life ACER range, and the number in the model name is simply the gate weight in kilograms.
| Model | Max gate weight |
|---|---|
| AC4R DL | 400 kg |
| AC6R DL | 600 kg |
| AC8R DL | 800 kg |
| AC12R DL | 1200 kg |
| AC15RM DL | 1500 kg |
Life ACER range from 400kg to 1500kg, sized for villas and compounds
A 600 kg motor suits a wider villa gate than the entry level 400 kg model, or a gate carrying heavier steel infill. If your gate is shared across several properties, or your driveway serves a genuine compound entrance, ask us before ordering and we will confirm whether 600 kg is enough or whether a heavier model earns its price.

Installing an Italian sliding gate motor in Muscat and across Oman
Our engineer checks your gate weight and rack against this motor’s rating before fitting starts. That single check is what prevents almost every callout we get on a sliding gate motor after installation.
Once confirmed, we mount the motor to its base plate, fit the rack along the gate leaf, set the pinion mesh, wire the photocells and warning light, then program the encoder and slowdown settings for a 600 kg gate.
Sliding gate motor installation for villas and compounds across every governorate
We install this Italian sliding gate motor in Muscat, Sohar, Nizwa, Salalah, Sur, Duqm and every other governorate, from our own shop in Al Khuwair rather than through a subcontractor. See the full LIFE range, our sliding gate motors from 400 kg to 3,500 kg, or our gate automation installation service.
Common questions about the Life ACER AC6R DL in Oman
Will the Life ACER AC6R DL move my gate?
Yes, if your gate leaf weighs 600 kg or less. Weigh it rather than estimate from its size, since frame and infill add more weight than most people expect.
Will it work with the rack already on my gate?
Only if that rack is module 4, which is what this motor’s pinion is built for. Photograph the tooth profile and send it to us before ordering, so we can confirm it before you buy.
How fast does this sliding gate motor move the gate?
10 metres per minute, with an optical encoder controlling the slowdown at each end of travel so the gate eases into its stops rather than reaching them abruptly.
How many times a day can this sliding gate motor open?
It is rated to a 35 percent duty cycle, which is comfortable for normal villa use. For a shared or compound entrance opening far more often, ask us about a heavier duty model in the range.
