Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which Linear operator models use the 26-link 2200-973 chain?
A: The 2200-973 is specified for 1 HP Linear gate operator models. Lower HP models (1/2 HP and 3/4 HP) use the shorter 24-link 2200-972 chain.
Q: What chain standard and pitch does the 2200-973 use?
A: The 2200-973 uses ANSI #40 roller chain with a 1/2-inch pitch, identical in pitch to the 2200-972 but with 2 additional links to accommodate the 1 HP drive configuration.
Q: Can I use the 26-link 2200-973 in place of the 24-link 2200-972?
A: The 2200-973 has 26 links versus the 24 links of the 2200-972. The additional length is required to properly fit the 1 HP operator drive configuration. Using the wrong chain length will result in improper tension.
Q: How often should I inspect and lubricate the 2200-973 chain?
A: Inspect the chain periodically for wear, corrosion, and elongation. Lubricate with a suitable chain lubricant at regular intervals. Replace immediately if any links are cracked, stiff, or if chain elongation exceeds 1/2 inch per foot of chain.
Q: Can I use a standard master link with the 2200-973 chain?
A: Yes, standard ANSI #40 master links are compatible with the 2200-973 chain. Always install the master link clip with the closed end facing the direction of chain travel to prevent disengagement.
