Sliding gate operator gear rack -SLGR2

*2 Holes

*Length: 340 mm

A sliding gate gear rack is a toothed metal bar that is attached to the bottom of a sliding gate. It interacts with a motorized pinion (gear) to move the sliding driveway gate open and closed.

As the pinion rotates, it engages with the rack’s teeth, causing the driveway gate to slide along its track. This mechanism provides a smooth and efficient way to automate the movement of sliding gates.

Here’s a more detailed explanation:

Rack:

The toothed bar that is fixed to the sliding gate, typically along its bottom edge.
Pinion:

A gear that is connected to the motor of the gate operator. It rotates and meshes with the rack’s teeth.
Operation:

When the motor rotates the pinion, the teeth engage with the rack, causing the gate to move horizontally.
Advantages:

Rack-driven sliding gates are known for their smooth, quiet operation and efficient movement, especially on flat surfaces.
Material:

Racks can be made of steel or nylon-reinforced with steel. Nylon racks are often preferred for their quieter operation and resistance to rust.
