Sliding gate opener - Royalgate RGSLC400
A chain-link sliding gate opener is a mechanical device that automates the opening and closing of a chain-link fence gate, allowing it to slide open and closed along a track rather than swinging.
It typically uses a chain drive system to move the gate, providing a convenient and often more secure access solution.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
What it is:
-
Automation:It's an automated system that eliminates the need to manually open and close a sliding chain-link gate.
-
Chain Drive:The most common type uses a chain drive, similar to a bicycle chain, to propel the gate along a track.
-
Track and Wheels:The gate slides on a track, usually supported by rollers or wheels, allowing for smooth movement.
-
Security and Convenience:Sliding gate openers provide security by limiting access and offer convenience by allowing remote or automated operation.
How it works:
- Motor and Gearbox: An electric motor and gearbox drive the chain.
- Chain Movement: The motor rotates a sprocket, which moves the chain.
- Gate Movement: The chain is connected to the gate, and its movement along the track pulls or pushes the gate open or closed.
- Control System: A control system, which can include remote controls, keypads, or sensors, manages the gate's operation.
Types of Sliding Gates (relevant to openers):
- Cantilever Gates: These gates slide horizontally on rollers, with a portion of the gate extending beyond the opening to act as a counterbalance.
- Rolling Gates: These gates roll along a track, often used when space is limited.
Benefits:
- Space Efficiency: Sliding gates require less space than swing gates, especially for wider openings.
- Security: Automated systems offer enhanced security and controlled access.
- Convenience: Remote or automated operation provides ease of use.
- Durability: Chain drive systems are known for their durability and reliability.
Considerations:
- Gate Weight and Size: The opener needs to be compatible with the gate's weight and size.
- Power Source: Consider whether you need an AC or DC motor, or even a solar-powered option.
- Control System: Choose a control system that suits your needs (remotes, keypads, etc.).

Sliding gate opener – Royalgate RGSLC1000
*Suitable gate weight: Maximum 1000 Kg Included: 1 x Electromechanical motor 1 x Main control board 6 Meters of Chain (20 feet) 2 x Manual release key 2 x Remote control The Royalgate RGSLC1000 is a sliding gate opener designed for automating sliding gates. It's built to handle gates with a maximum weight of 1000 kg (approximately 2200 lbs). Here's a breakdown of its typical features and what's generally included: Key Features:- Electromechanical Motor: It uses an electromechanical motor to provide the power for opening and closing the gate.
- Chain-driven: Like many sliding gate openers, it likely operates using a chain drive system to move the gate along its track.
- Remote Control: It typically comes with at least two remote controls for convenient operation.
- Manual Release Key: In case of power failure, a manual release key allows you to disengage the motor and operate the gate manually.
- Adjustable Auto-Close: Many modern gate openers, including likely this one, have a built-in feature to automatically close the gate after a set time (e.g., 0, 30, 60, 90 seconds).
- Safety Features: It should include safety sensors (often referred to as photo eyes or photocells) that detect obstructions during gate closing and reverse the gate's movement to prevent accidents.
- Limit Switches: These define the full open and full closed positions of the gate, ensuring precise stopping.
- Durable Construction: Components like the gearmotor are often made from durable materials like die-cast aluminum and steel for longevity and weather resistance.
- Keypads for coded entry
- Additional remote controls
- Safety sensors (not included)
- Wi-Fi or smart home integration for smartphone control (though this might be a separate model or add-on for the RGSLC1000)
