Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does UHMW mean and why is it used for this idler wheel?
A: UHMW stands for Ultra-High Molecular Weight polyethylene, a dense plastic with excellent abrasion resistance, low friction, and high impact strength - ideal for rolling and sliding applications in gate operators.
Q: Where is the 2300-697 idler wheel used in the gate operator?
A: The idler wheel is part of the main drive chain assembly on HSLG and related SLR/SLC/SLD slide gate operators, guiding and tensioning the drive chain.
Q: Is this part listed in the official Linear installation guide?
A: Yes, the 2300-697 is listed in the Linear SLR/SLC/SLD Slide Gate Operator Installation Guide as the specified replacement idler wheel for those models.
Q: Are any special tools needed to replace this idler wheel?
A: No special tools are typically required. Consult the Linear SLR/SLC/SLD installation guide for specific disassembly and reassembly procedures, and always disconnect power before servicing.
Q: Does the UHMW idler wheel require lubrication or special maintenance?
A: UHMW polyethylene requires minimal maintenance, but periodic inspection for wear, cracking, or deformation is recommended. Keep the drive chain properly lubricated per Linear's guidelines.
