What is the difference between the SL-1000 and the
SL-1000i ?
Their exterior size is the same. 26” high x 8” diameter. However the
power of the motors are:
 | SL-1000: ¾ hp equivalent DC motor. This operator is rated for classes I, II, III, and IV for gate openings of up to 25’ and weight of
1000lbs. |
 | SL-1000i: 1.2 hp equivalent DC motor. This operator is our
Industrial model and rated in classes I, II, III, and IV with opening
lengths of 40’ and weight of up to 2000lbs. |
How many cycles a day can RGS operators perform?
 | Sl-1000 and Sl-1000i operators are rated continuous duty. |
 | The SL-1000r is rated at 200 cycles daily |
Are RGS operators UL listed?
 | RGS operators all comply with the UL325 requirements and open and close in
approximately 1.1 feet per second. |
 | The commercial and industrial operators are UL 325 compliant and ETL listed |
 | The SL-1000r is not yet ETL listed but uses the same control panel as the commercial and industrial versions and does comply with UL325 requirements. |
What is the RGS rack gear made of and is it strong enough to withstand continuous
duty action?
 | The RGS rack gear is machined from UHMW nylon composite. |
 | Extremely strong and durable as well as UV resistant. |
 | The RGS pinion gears are machined from solid billet of aircraft
quality aluminum. |
Where are RGS operators built?
 | All machined parts are produced in Pensacola, Fl from aircraft grade aluminum. |
 | Assembly and inspection are also performed in Pensacola. |
What maintenance do RGS operators require?
 | RGS operators have fewer moving parts than other slide gate operators. |
 | The planetary gearmotors are a sealed unit. |
 | Commercial and industrial operators have double sealed upper and lower bearings. |
 | Residential operators have no external bearings outside the gearmotor. |
 | Magnetic limit switched never require adjustment. |
 | Rack and pinion drive design eliminates stretching and rusting chain. |
