The Linear 2110-312-BT is a replacement welded rail arm assembly used with select Linear / OSCO VS-GSWG swing gate operators. This part is the welded rail section of the gate arm assembly and is commonly used when the existing rail arm is bent, damaged, worn, or no longer supporting smooth gate travel.
On a VS-GSWG swing gate operator, the arm assembly connects the operator to the gate and transfers movement from the operator drive system to the gate leaf. A damaged rail arm can affect gate alignment, chain travel, sprocket engagement, and overall movement through the open and close cycle.
This part should not be confused with the complete gate arm assembly. The 2110-312-BT is the welded rail arm component only. Related hardware, covers, chain, sprockets, guides, brackets, and gate attachment hardware may be separate depending on what is being repaired.
The Linear 2110-312-BT is commonly associated with the standard 78 inch gate arm assembly used on select Linear / OSCO VS-GSWG swing gate operators.
Important: This part is for the standard 78 inch VS-GSWG arm configuration. Some VS-GSWG installations may use a non-standard 63 inch arm assembly, which uses different arm-related part numbers. Always verify the original arm assembly before ordering.

Related VS-GSWG arm parts that may be used in the same assembly but are not the same item: 2110-648 complete 78 inch gate arm assembly, 2100-1168-BT cover for 78 inch arm, 2110-248 upper rail guide assembly with bearing, 2220-011 sprocket, 2200-004 sprocket, 2100-051 lower rail guide, 2100-052 rain cover, 2100-054 chain tension bolt, 2200-006 #40 master link, and 2200-658 #40 chain.
Non-standard 63 inch VS-GSWG arm parts are different: 2110-257 complete 63 inch gate arm assembly, 2110-271 welded rail assembly, 2200-420 #40 chain, and 2100-1167-BT cover for 63 inch arm should not be confused with the standard 78 inch arm parts.
Before replacing the welded rail arm, inspect the entire gate and arm assembly. A bent rail is often caused by impact, a dragging gate, worn hinges, loose gate brackets, a misaligned operator, or an obstruction event. Replacing the rail without correcting the cause can lead to repeat damage.
Check the rail guides, sprockets, chain, chain tension bolt, cover, gate bracket, and operator mounting alignment before putting the gate back in service. The chain should be routed correctly for the operator handing, and chain tension should be snug without being overtightened.
If the gate is hard to move by hand, out of level, sagging, or binding through its swing, correct the gate hardware problem before replacing operator arm parts. A gate operator should not be used to force a poorly moving gate.
This is a structural mechanical gate operator component. Installation should be performed by a qualified gate technician familiar with Linear / OSCO VS-GSWG swing gate operators. Disconnect power and secure the gate before removing or replacing arm components.
Do not place hands, tools, or loose hardware near the arm, chain, sprockets, or gate path while the operator is powered. After installation, the gate operator should be tested for proper arm travel, gate alignment, chain routing, limit settings, obstruction response, and required safety device operation.
Never bypass required entrapment protection devices or use a replacement arm part to compensate for an unsafe gate installation. If the gate has impact damage, hinge wear, excessive wind load, or a structural alignment issue, correct those conditions before returning the operator to service.
No. The 2110-312-BT is the welded rail arm component. The complete standard 78 inch VS-GSWG gate arm assembly is commonly associated with part number 2110-648.
This part is commonly used with select Linear / OSCO VS-GSWG swing gate operators using the standard 78 inch arm assembly. Verify the operator model and parts diagram before ordering.
No, not unless a manufacturer parts diagram specifically confirms it for your setup. The non-standard 63 inch VS-GSWG arm uses different related part numbers, including a different welded rail assembly.
This listing should be treated as the welded rail arm component only unless the product listing specifically states that additional parts are included. Chain, cover, sprockets, rail guides, and hardware may need to be ordered separately.
Common causes include vehicle impact, a binding or sagging gate, loose gate brackets, worn hinges, improper chain tension, misalignment, or the gate striking an obstruction. Inspect the full gate system before replacing the arm.
Yes. This arm is part of the moving mechanical linkage on a commercial swing gate operator. A qualified gate technician should verify fitment, install the arm safely, adjust the chain and limits, and test all safety devices after repair.
