Product Description
The Genie 27091A.S is a genuine OEM limit worm gear used in the limit mechanism of select Genie residential garage door openers. The worm gear meshes with the limit worm drive (GE-27092A.S) to rotate the limit cam assembly, controlling the precise open and close travel positions of the garage door. It is one of 7 interrelated components in the Genie limit mechanism family; the remaining components - limit wheel, limit pinion, limit cam, limit plate, and limit switch - will be covered in a separate service part group. Compatible models include the 700, 1200, 700IC, 1200IC, IC250, IC250B, PMX500-IB, AC Chain Drive, and DC Belt Drive series.
