DORMA’s Magneo sliding door system with LMD technology delivers sleek design with whisper-quiet, ultra-smooth operation
LAKE BLUFF, Ill. – Powered by advanced linear magnetic drive technology (LMD), the MAGNEO sliding door system from DORMA Entrance Systems opens and closes doors with an even gliding action that’s virtually free of sound and friction.
To complement the smooth movement, the MAGNEO system’s clean lines and unobtrusive, low-profile header blend seamlessly into commercial or residential settings, especially those with a modern or minimalist design motif.
It is the only sliding door entrance system to utilize LMD technology instead of belts, pulleys, gears or motors. The unparalleled MAGNEO system enables a sliding door to open and close on an electromagnetic “cushion,” reducing wear, noise and maintenance.
In addition, MAGNEO is ideal for use in “green” applications. The use of glass doors can improve interior daylighting properties. Meanwhile, it uses less energy than a 60-watt light bulb during operation and a mere tenth of that when inactive.
MAGNEO is also engineered to meeting all safety requirements for low-energy applications. Its extra-sensitive operation instantly detects any obstruction and reverses the closing operation to prevent potential injury.
The versatile MAGNEO system can be configured with MANET fixings from DORMA Glas and either a recessed door grip or stylish minimalist handle when used with all-glass doors. A glass clamping rail is available for added stability. Various activation options are offered: motion detector, radio remote control, external program switch, and push-and-go operation.
MAGNEO is suitable for all-glass, framed glass, wood and metal doors up to 175 pounds (80kg). The system can be surface-mounted or concealed in the wall. It is available in three opening widths: up to 34 inches/875mm, up to 39 inches/1000mm and up to 44 inches/1125mm. The system includes floor guide rails all-glass, wood and framed door panels.
