The Nice Robus 600 (model RB600) is an Italian 24V sliding gate motor for gates up to 600 kg. One number decides whether it suits your gate, and it is not the 600 kg. It is the push force your gate needs, which must stay under 150 N. We stock the complete kit in Al Khuwair for OMR 142.000 and fit it across Oman.
Nice Robus 600 gate weight is not the limit that matters
Nice publishes two thrust figures for this motor. Peak start up thrust is 600 N, or 18 Nm. Nominal working thrust is 300 N, or 9 Nm.
Nice’s installation manual tells the fitter to measure the force needed to move the gate along its whole path. That force must stay below half of the nominal figure, so 150 N. It is roughly 15 kg on a hand scale.
Sand in the track, a bent rail or a worn wheel raises that force without changing the weight. A 450 kg gate that drags can fail the test. A 600 kg gate on good wheels can pass. Many seller pages print 600 N as the motor’s power. That is the short peak, not the working figure.
Cycles per hour and the residential rating
Nice limits cycles by gate length.
| Gate length | Cycles per hour |
|---|---|
| Up to 4 metres | 40 |
| Up to 8 metres | 20 |
The daily limit is 100 cycles, and the longest continuous run is 7 minutes. Nice lists the RB600 for residential use. Seller pages often quote 40 cycles per hour with no gate length, and that only applies up to 4 metres. A villa or small compound sits well inside these limits. A shared building entrance or a busy yard does not, so ask us about the Robus 1000.
Nice Robus 600 in Oman heat, dust and salt air
Nice scores wear in a severity index. Heat above 40°C or humidity above 80% adds 10%. Dust and sand add 15%. Salt air adds 20%.
Muscat, Sohar, Sur and Salalah can hit all three. That is 45% of the wear budget gone before weight and gate length count. Nice says an index above 100% calls for a larger motor. Its estimated life runs from 20,000 to 250,000 cycles, depending on that index.
The motor is rated IP44. That covers splashes and objects over 1 mm, but not fine dust. Keep the track clear and the wheels greased.
RB600 or the newer RBS600, which Robus 600 is this?
Nice now sells a newer Robus generation, called RBS400, RBS600 and RBS800. It uses a magnetic limit switch and a built in receiver with app control.
The kit on this page is the earlier RB600, with the RBA3 control unit, an electromechanical limit switch and BlueBUS. Parts differ, so quote the code on your motor label when ordering spares.

Nice Robus 600 or Robus 1000, choosing by thrust
| Robus 600 | Robus 1000 | |
|---|---|---|
| Maximum weight | 600 kg | 1000 kg |

If your gate needs more than 150 N, step up to the Robus 1000. A lighter gate that passes the test easily suits our Nice Robus 400.
What is included in the Nice Robus 600 kit
- One Nice RB600 24V motor with integrated RBA3 control unit
- Two Nice FLO2RE remote controls
- One pair of Nice EPMB BlueBUS photocells
- One Nice OXI plug in receiver
- Four nylon racks, one metre each
- One push button and one motor fixing bracket
Quoted separately: installation, extra rack, foundation concrete and a flashing light. The optional PS124 back up battery and more remotes and accessories are available too. The rack must cover the full travel of the gate, so a gate much longer than 4 metres needs more.
Installing a Nice Robus 600 sliding gate motor in Oman
Our engineer starts with the push force test and checks the track and wheels. The motor sits on a foundation plate with two anchor bolts. We set the rack 1 to 2 mm clear of the pinion along the whole gate.
Then we fit the limit brackets and wire the photocells. BlueBUS carries up to 15 devices on two wires, and the control unit learns the gate length on its own. A two leaf gate uses two motors, one Master and one Slave. The key release moves the gate by hand in a power cut.
Sliding gate motor installation for villas and compounds across every governorate
We install in Muscat, Sohar, Nizwa, Salalah, Sur, Duqm and every other governorate. See our sliding gate motors, the Nice range, gate spare parts or our installation service.
Common questions
Can the Nice Robus 600 move a 600 kg gate?
Yes, if the push force stays under 150 N along the whole travel. Weight alone does not decide it. Send us your gate details and we will tell you if it suits.
How often can the Nice Robus 600 open and close?
Up to 40 cycles an hour on gates up to 4 metres, and 20 an hour up to 8 metres. The limit is 100 cycles a day. Nice rates it for residential use.
What is the difference between the RB600 and the RBS600?
The RB600 is the earlier model with the RBA3 board and an electromechanical limit switch. The RBS600 is newer, with a magnetic limit switch and a built in receiver.
What does the Nice Robus 600 kit cost?
OMR 142.000 for the kit with motor, photocells, two remotes, receiver and 4 metres of rack. Payment is cash on delivery. Installation is quoted separately.
