System Information
The Power Gear Slim Rack Slide-out System is a rack and pinion design operated by a 12 Volt DC gear motor.
Slide-out systems are engineered to provide years of trouble-free service. Changes to weight, stroke, weight
distribution, rail position, controller, power supply, seals, slide toppers, ramps, rollers, etc. all have an effect
on the performance of the system. In order to secure warranty coverage, each new application or changes
to existing applications
MUST
be audited and approved by Power Gear with a signed document. Audits can
be arranged by contacting your account representative.
Component Descriptions
•
Rocker switch that mounts to the wall. It allows room movement and provides end user feedback.
•
A specially designed control box that gives the user full control of room movement, in or out. The
control has programmable stops that stop the motor when the room is fully extended or retracted and
the ability to detect faults for ease in troubleshooting.
•
Vertical channel with 12V DC gear motor and gear rack arms that mount into the side wall opening and
slide-out room.
•
Harnesses to connect the touch pad and motors to the control box.
•
Floor rollers (not supplied by Power Gear) that support the room's weight while extending and retracting
the room. Only floor rollers approved by Power Gear can be used with the system. Contact Power Gear
for recommended rollers.
