The Sliding Gate Operator Gear Rack -SLGR612 is a specific type of gear rack designed to work with automatic sliding gate operators. ⚙️ It’s an essential component that allows the gate motor to move the gate open and closed.

Here’s a breakdown of what that means:

What is a Gear Rack for a Sliding Gate Operator?

A gear rack is a linear component with teeth cut along its length. It acts like a long, straight gear. In the context of a sliding gate, the gear rack is attached to the bottom or side of the gate. The gate operator, which contains a motorized gear (or pinion), engages with these teeth. As the motor turns the pinion, it “walks” along the gear rack, causing the gate to slide horizontally.

Key Features and Specifications of SLGR612

The sliding gate operator gear rack -SLGR612 described as a “Special Type” of gear rack, with the following known characteristics:

• Length: 1018 mm (approximately 3.34 feet) 📏
• Holes: It features 6 holes, likely for mounting to the gate.
• Weight: 10 kg
• Dimensions: 200 × 100 × 100 cm (these dimensions seem to refer to the packaging or a larger kit, not just the rack itself, which is a common occurrence in product listings).
• Material: While not explicitly stated for SLGR612, gear racks are commonly made from galvanized steel for heavy-duty applications or nylon reinforced with a steel core for quieter operation and lighter gates. Heavy gates typically use steel racks.

Importance in Gate Automation

Gear racks are crucial for sliding gate automation because they provide:

• Smooth and Reliable Operation: The precise engagement between the pinion and the rack teeth ensures consistent and smooth movement of the gate.
• Durability: Made from robust materials, they withstand daily use and varying weather conditions.
• Enhanced Security: The mechanical linkage makes it difficult to force the gate open manually without the operator’s input.
• Convenience: They enable the automated opening and closing of gates via remote controls, keypads, or other access control systems.

The SLGR612, like other gear racks, is a vital part of a sliding gate operator system, converting the rotary motion of the motor into the linear motion needed to open and close the gate.
