Brushless technology to boost and diversify automatic bollard performance
Pilomat’s automatic bollards equipped with brushless electric motors set a new standard in performance, reliability, durability, quiet operation, and minimal maintenance. They’re not just efficient—they’re engineered for excellence.
And when it comes to challenging environments—areas prone to heavy rain and frequent flooding—these brushless systems stand out as the ultimate solution. More power, less hassle, maximum resilience.
Counter terrorism Security
The quality of a product is directly linked to the technical choices made by the manufacturer and the attention given to user needs. Constantly committed to developing more advanced and efficient solutions, Pilomat has chosen to equip several of its automatic bollard lines with innovative brushless electric motors—significantly boosting performance compared to traditional systems.
This high-efficiency technology, adopted exclusively by Pilomat within the access control sector, leverages permanent magnet rotors and eliminates wear-prone contacts like brushes.

Top performances and environment friendly
Brushless motors are DC-powered, high-performance units that use electronic controls for precise operation. Free of brushes and friction-based parts, they ensure long-term durability and minimal maintenance. Compact, powerful, and whisper-quiet, they deliver consistently high performance and fast response times, regardless of weather conditions.
These motors allow the bollard’s cylinder to rise and retract rapidly and smoothly, with far greater control than alternative systems. Fine calibration remains stable over thousands of cycles—an essential feature in high-frequency applications.
Even at the cylinder’s end-of-travel positions, brushless motors contribute to the quietness of Pilomat’s automatic models. Their simple, robust design—with no circulating fluids and no seals subject to wear—ensures minimal maintenance requirements and reduces environmental impact.
Thanks to their brushless architecture, Pilomat bollards boast IP68 protection, meaning they’re completely dust-tight and can operate even when submerged in water. This makes them the ideal solution for areas frequently hit by heavy rain and flooding.
Crash-rated Security solutions
Among the brushless-equipped models designed for high-frequency use, the K4/M30 EMB and K12/M50 EMB series stand out. These belong to Pilomat’s High Security line, specifically engineered for maximum protection in sensitive locations like government buildings, airports, event spaces, and critical infrastructure.
Brushless motors are just one of the distinctive technical choices behind Pilomat’s most advanced bollard lines. They are combined with superior resistance to mechanical stress, top-tier safety features for users and operators, sleek modern design that blends into any setting, and a broad range of customization options.
Performance across all models is certified through rigorous crash tests, mechanical resistance trials, cyclical stress testing, weather exposure analysis, and climate chamber simulations—carried out by internationally recognized third-party laboratories both on test tracks and in controlled environments.
