Patented FACE technology from Benincà for quiet, reliable, and long-lasting operation
BESIDE, the official representative of the Italian holding BENINCÀ in Bulgaria, will participate in the 2026 Architecture and Construction Week, where it will showcase its latest solutions in intelligent automation and access control.

Benincà TOM – a new standard for double-leaf gates
The main focus of the stand is the TOM automation for double-leaf gates by Automatismi Benincà SpA – an innovative drive system introducing a new approach to motion transmission and the reliability of automatic systems.
FACE gears – technology borrowed from aviation
The use of FACE gears is extremely rare in gate automation. This type of gearing is applied in aviation, including on tilting helicopter rotors, where high precision, durability, and reliability are required.
Compared to traditional conical gears, FACE technology provides
- Optimal load distribution;
- Lower sensitivity to misalignment;
- Minimal transmission errors;
- Quiet and smooth operation;
- High resistance to impact, stress, and wear.
The unique tooth geometry contributes to better stress distribution and significantly longer service life, even under intensive use.
Compactness and versatility
With a width of only 96 mm, TOM is an extremely compact solution suitable for automating all types of double-leaf gates – residential, public, and industrial. The combination of small size, high power, and silent operation meets the requirements of modern architecture.
