Rack strip for sliding gates FAAC FAAC-LZ08 — steel toothed rack for gear-driven gate operators

Steel toothed rack FAAC FAAC-LZ08 is a rack strip designed for use with gear-driven sliding gate operators. Manufactured to match FAAC drive systems, the rack provides the toothed engagement required to transmit motion from the operator pinion to the sliding gate. The product is supplied as a continuous strip of steel toothed rack intended for mounting along the gate profile. It is suitable for both repair jobs and new installations where a compatible FAAC rack section is required.

Advantages

The steel construction ensures mechanical strength and resistance to deformation under typical gate loads, while the machined teeth offer reliable engagement with the operator pinion for smooth movement. As a component designed for FAAC gear-driven systems, the rack strip aligns with expected tooth pitch and profile, reducing the need for adjustments. Supplied as a strip, it allows installers to cut and fit lengths to match the gate span, supporting straightforward replacement or integration into new builds.

Suitable for

• Repair of FAAC-compatible gear-driven sliding gate operators
• New installations of sliding gate systems using toothed rack drive
• Replacement of worn or damaged rack sections along the gate profile
• Custom-length installations where rack strips are cut to size

Key specifications

• Material: steel
• Design: toothed rack profile for gear engagement
• Compatibility: designed for use with FAAC gear-driven sliding gate operators
• Form factor: supplied as continuous strip suitable for cutting to required length
• Mounting: intended to be affixed along the gate profile to mesh with the drive pinion

How to use

Measure the gate travel and determine the required rack length, allowing for proper meshing with the operator pinion. Cut the steel toothed rack to the measured length using appropriate metal-cutting tools, ensuring a straight and burr-free cut on the profile. Align the rack along the gate profile so the teeth engage evenly with the drive pinion; fasten securely using compatible fixings at recommended intervals to prevent movement and maintain tooth alignment. After installation, check for smooth engagement across the full travel and adjust pinion position or mounting points if necessary to eliminate binding or excessive play.

Usage recommendations

For long-lasting performance, protect exposed steel surfaces from corrosion by applying suitable coatings or using stainless fasteners where applicable. During routine maintenance, inspect tooth wear and fastening points regularly and replace worn sections promptly to avoid accelerated wear on the operator pinion.
