Sliding gate operator’s gear

The sliding gate operator’s gear is the mechanical part that is in the sliding gate opener, and the gear connects to the gate opener motor.

The sliding gate operator’s gear is pushed and pulled to open or close the sliding driveway gate.

The sliding gate rack is the part that works close to the gears, and it has to have a 2 millimeter gap between.

More Information about the sliding gates:

Sliding gates are ideal where space for swing gates to open into the driveway is limited. If the driveway bends, cars are parked near the gates, or plants in the garden or the house are too close, swing gates will hit them as they swing open.

Additionally, sliding gates are the perfect alternative to swing gates where a driveway runs uphill onto your property. This prevents swing gates from opening as they will hit the ground as they open onto the rising drive.

However, sliding gates shouldn’t be used where the driveway slopes across the entrance. This means that the gate is sliding uphill one way and downhill in the opposite direction. As gravity will try to pull it downhill and resist its movement uphill, the sliding electric gate opener is put under extra stress.

If you have a short driveway, you have a lot of cars parked on it, or it curves or rises towards the house, sliding gate automation systems might be the best choice for you.
