This actuator has aux switches that could be used to start/stop the equipment based on gate open/closed. Spring return when powered off, 120v input, two position, would not need remote mount kit if you could utilize rotary motion instead of linear action. Shuts off when stalled so doesn't burn motor up. Designed as an actuator for HVAC damper/ valve operation.
