Technical Specifications

FAAC 490123 Galvanised Steel Rack for Sliding Gate Motors

The FAAC 490123 is a galvanised steel gear rack designed for compatible automatic sliding gate operators. Its Module 4 tooth profile provides correct engagement with compatible FAAC Module 4 motor pinions.

30 × 8 mm Galvanised Steel Rack

The FAAC 490123 has a 30 × 8 mm steel profile. Galvanised construction provides a durable solution for outdoor sliding gate automation installations.

Steel rack is particularly suitable for installations where a strong and rigid rack-to-pinion drive system is required.

Module 4 Sliding Gate Rack

The FAAC steel rack uses a Module 4 gear profile. The rack module must match the motor drive pinion to ensure correct tooth engagement and smooth gate movement.

Before replacing an existing rack, always check the module and profile of the existing rack and motor pinion.

1 Metre Steel Rack Section

Each rack section is 1 metre long. Multiple sections can be installed continuously along the gate according to the total gate travel.

For example, an installation requiring approximately 4 metres of rack can use four 1-metre sections.

Weld-On Fittings

The FAAC 490123 steel rack is supplied with weld-on fittings for mounting the rack securely to a suitable sliding gate structure.

The mounting fittings should be correctly positioned so the rack remains properly aligned with the motor pinion throughout the complete gate travel.

Compatible with FAAC Sliding Gate Motors

The FAAC 490123 rack is designed for compatible FAAC sliding gate operators using a Module 4 drive pinion.

Always confirm the exact gate motor model, pinion and installation requirements before selecting a replacement steel rack.

FAAC 740 & FAAC 741 Steel Rack

The FAAC 740 and FAAC 741 sliding gate motors use a Z16 Module 4 drive pinion. FAAC specifies the 30 × 8 mm Module 4 galvanised steel rack as a compatible rack option for these operators.

Heavy-Duty Sliding Gate Applications

Steel gear rack provides a strong mechanical connection between the automatic gate motor and sliding gate. It is suitable for installations where a durable rack is required for regular or demanding gate operation.

Correct Rack & Pinion Alignment

Correct rack alignment is essential for reliable automatic gate operation. The steel rack should remain properly aligned with the motor pinion throughout the complete opening and closing travel.

The weight of the gate must remain supported by the gate wheels and track. The rack should not press down onto the motor pinion or use the motor gearbox as a support for the gate.

Replacement FAAC Steel Rack

The FAAC steel rack can be used to replace compatible worn, damaged or broken sliding gate rack sections.

Damaged rack teeth can cause noise, vibration, jerking or loss of drive. Worn or damaged sections should be replaced and correctly aligned with the existing rack.

FAAC Steel Rack vs Nylon Rack

FAAC offers both steel and nylon rack options for compatible sliding gate automation systems. Steel rack provides a rigid and durable drive solution, while nylon rack can provide quieter operation for suitable applications.

The correct rack should be selected according to the gate motor, gate weight, usage conditions and installation requirements.

Applications

• FAAC automatic sliding gates
• Villa sliding gates
• Residential driveway gates
• Apartment entrance gates
• Commercial sliding gates
• Warehouse gates
• Industrial sliding gates
• Automatic vehicle entrances
• New sliding gate installations
• Replacement of damaged steel racks

Check Compatibility Before Ordering

Before purchasing the FAAC 490123 steel rack, confirm that your sliding gate motor uses a compatible Module 4 pinion.

Rack size, module, mounting type and motor pinion should all be checked before installation.
