Digital Brushless Technology
The Evolution of Gate Automation
Anyone working in the gate automation sector knows that every project brings a new challenge. And every motor installed, every system set up, must guarantee reliability, performance, safety, and durability.
It’s not enough for it to simply “work”. It needs to work well-consistently and over time.
What if we told you there’s a technology designed specifically to solve the most common issues that waste your time (and patience) on-site?
Welcome to the world of Digital Brushless by Roger Technology, distributed in the UK by RT Automation.
What exactly is Digital Brushless technology?
The electric motor is nothing new. The first DC motor was invented centuries ago and runs with two wires, no electronics. But it has a long-standing flaw: carbon brushes. They create sparks, noise, wear, maintenance needs, and electrical disturbances.
The breakthrough? The brushless motor.
Here’s the clever bit: permanent magnets are placed in the rotor (the spinning part), windings in the stator (the stationary part), resulting in no sliding contacts, zero sparks, and zero friction.
If that’s the heart, the brain is the electronic control unit. And this is where Roger Technology worked its magic:
• In-house development of motor and control unit
• Advanced microprocessors (100 million operations per second)
• Real-time control of temperature, torque, position, current, voltage
• Voltage converted into sinusoidal three-phase current (field-oriented control)
Why is all this better? (Because it really is)
The Roger Brushless motor is a digital, intelligent motor, custom designed for automation.
This means:
- Zero maintenance
No brushes? Eliminated. Sliding contacts? Never existed.
Result: install → it works → sleep soundly. - Over 96% efficiency
Almost all electrical energy is turned into movement. No wasted heat. The motor stays cool even under intensive use, day and night. - Constant torque at all speeds
Powerful start from standstill, smooth movement, steady speed—even with variable loads. You’ll feel the difference compared to asynchronous motors. - Compact size
For the same power, a brushless motor can be a third the size of a traditional one. Ideal when space is tight. - Regenerative braking
When braking, it becomes a generator. Mechanical energy is recovered. This means intelligent consumption and potential energy savings. - Precision control
Controlled acceleration and deceleration. You can reverse direction in tenths of a second—with no shock or risk.
Active safety
Real-time monitoring, automatic protections, continuous feedback. A control unit so smart, it prevents faults before they happen.
What do you really gain by installing a Digital Brushless Motor?

From expert to expert-in-this-technology
Many seasoned installers still aren’t familiar with brushless technology. And we get that. For years, we’ve worked with brushed motors—often with good results.
But expectations have changed.
Today, clients want reliability, quiet operation, low energy use, and zero maintenance.
And you can offer all that—without complicating your job.
Roger Technology has invested years of research into bringing brushless motors to its full range of automation solutions for access control, residential, and industrial systems.
And we at RT Automation distribute them across the UK with local support, expertise, and availability.
The digital brushless motor isn’t just a technical upgrade – it’s a practical revolution for those who work with their hands, but think with their head.
Installing a Roger Brushless system today means:
✅ fewer headaches
✅ greater efficiency
✅ happier clients
✅ a confident step into the future of automation
