5. Rack & Limit Actuator Installation
5.1 Mounting rack to gate
A strong base on the gate is required for
mounting the rack.
a. Manually open the gate and place a rack
section to mesh with the pinion gear on the
Drive Unit. Mark the top of the rack. Move
the gate and mark the rack for the entire
length of the gate
(Fig. 5.1)
.
b. Position the top edge of the rack on this line
and mark the centres of the rack’s mounting
slots. The first section of rack should start
20mm from the edge of the gate.
c. Drill and tap for 6mm (¼”) screws.
d. Once the first section of the rack is mounted,
check that it meshes with the NeoSlider™
pinion gear.
e. When joining subsequent sections of rack,
check the mesh by placing a spare section
upside down (teeth facing upwards) and
putting it into mesh with the racks being
joined
(Fig. 5.2)
.
f. Tighten the racks. This will ensure that the
NeoSlider™ pinion can run along the racks
without obstruction.
