Centurion Origin Magnet with Bracket

The Centurion Origin Magnet with Bracket is an essential accessory for Centurion sliding gate motors like the D3, D5, and D10. It gives the motor a clear reference point, also called the origin. This ensures the system always knows when the gate is closed or in its starting position. Without it, the motor cannot track positions correctly, which may cause misalignment or operational faults.

Why the Origin Magnet Matters

Centurion gate motors depend on sensors to operate smoothly. The origin magnet works with the built-in sensor to signal when the gate reaches its reference point. This setup offers several benefits:

• Accurate detection of the closed position.

• Smooth movement without stalling or slipping.

• Less wear on gears and components.

• Reliable and safe daily operation.

By fitting the Centurion Origin Magnet with Bracket, you keep your gate motor running smoothly and extend its lifespan.

Installation and Setup

You mount the bracket on the gate rack. The magnet must pass in front of the motor’s origin sensor at the correct distance, normally 13 to 20 mm. This gap allows the sensor to detect the magnet without physical contact.

Place the magnet at least 500 mm away from the sensor when the gate is fully closed. This prevents false readings. The slotted holes in the bracket make alignment easier. Once secured, the magnet sends a reliable, repeatable signal each time the gate closes.

Compatibility and Availability

It works with Centurion D3, D5, D5-Evo, and D10 sliding gate motors. You can buy it from most security and automation suppliers in South Africa. Prices usually range from R185 to R220.

Conclusion

If your gate motor struggles to detect its closed position, check the origin magnet. Replacing it with a new Centurion Origin Magnet with Bracket is a quick, affordable fix. This small part makes a big difference in keeping your Centurion gate motor safe, reliable, and efficient.
