Why Choose Sommer for Your Arizona Home?
Sommer has been manufacturing garage door automation systems in Germany for decades. Their core innovation — the travelling motor direct-drive system — is fundamentally different from the chain and belt drives that dominate the US market. As an authorized Sommer dealer, On Track installs and services all Sommer opener models across Mesa and the East Valley.
Sommer Advantages for Arizona Homes
Travelling Motor Direct-Drive Technology
In a standard opener, the chain or belt moves the length of the rail past a fixed motor. In Sommer's system, the motor unit itself travels along the rail as the door opens and closes. This eliminates the chain or belt as a noise source and reduces mechanical friction throughout the system — resulting in a quieter, longer-lasting opener with fewer wear points.
Completely Maintenance-Free Sealed Unit
No chain to lubricate, no belt to inspect, no tension to adjust. The Sommer direct-drive is a sealed unit — no periodic maintenance required. For Mesa homeowners in Arizona's dusty, high-heat environment, that matters.
Handles Arizona's Extreme Conditions
The evo+ self-learning force curve automatically adjusts for seasonal conditions — accommodating the door expansion that occurs in Mesa's summer heat without nuisance reversals. Handles doors up to 23 feet wide and 1,100 lbs.

Complete Sommer Opener Lineup
evo+ 2060 / 2080 / 2110
Three motor sizes: 2060 (600N, up to 600 lb doors), 2080 (800N, up to 1,100 lbs), 2110 (1,100N, up to 1,500 lbs). Self-learning force curve automatically adjusts for seasonal conditions. UL tested and certified. Wi-Fi ready via SOMweb gateway. Battery backup standard. Completely maintenance-free sealed unit.
pro+ — Flexible Installation
Same direct-drive performance as the evo+ with one key difference: the control unit detaches and mounts separately on a wall, ceiling, or rear of the rail. No additional outlet or electrical work required. Three installation variants. Handles doors up to 26 feet wide. Ideal for garages where the standard head-unit position isn't feasible.
GIGAline — Commercial & Heavy-Duty
Industrial-grade operator with frequency converter and tear-resistant steel roller chain. Rated for doors up to 26 feet wide and 11.5 feet tall, up to 1,100 lbs, and up to 100 parking spaces. IP54 rated. Built for underground garages, commercial facilities, and high-cycle applications with oversized or very heavy doors.
Legacy: Aperto / Synoris
Sommer's earlier direct-drive models still in operation across Mesa and the East Valley. On Track carries parts and services all legacy Sommer systems — logic board replacement, remote programming, drive mechanism repair, sensor alignment — regardless of installation age. No need to replace a working unit.
Direct-Drive vs Chain & Belt
Sommer Direct-Drive
- • Motor travels the rail: Only one moving part — the motor unit itself
- • Near-zero mechanical noise: No chain rattle, no belt hum
- • Zero maintenance: Fully sealed, no lubrication ever needed
- • Self-learning force: Adapts automatically to summer heat expansion
- • Made in Germany: Industrial-grade build quality
Belt Drive
- • Quiet but still produces belt hum and vibration
- • Belt stretches over time — requires tension adjustment
- • Belt subject to wear in Arizona heat cycles
- • Good option for attached garages at a lower price point
- • Fixed motor at ceiling unit — standard installation
Chain Drive
- • Loudest drive type — chain rattle on every cycle
- • Most economical and longest-proven
- • Requires periodic lubrication
- • Best for detached garages where noise is less of a concern
- • Very reliable and handles heavy doors well
