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.
