Cantilever Sliding gate design
Cantilever Sliding gate design
(OP)
Hello guys,
I need your urgent help with this. I need to design a cantilever sliding mechanism for a gate weighing 1000kg moving across a distance of 15m for both opening and closing sequence. Will be grateful if i get some literature or a sample design to guide me to selecting the individual components including the sizing of the motor-gear component that will drive the rack and pinion.
Thanks in advance.

Jboggs, if you can help out with the roller chain drive mechanism for a sliding gate, that will ne much appreciated. Thanks

How long is the gate itself?
RE: Cantilever Sliding gate design
Typical sliding gates have a pair of ~300m rubber tired wheels at the distal end,
and a stationary roller at the proximal end,
or some sort of rail/roller guiding the proximal end,
and a roller chain drive, as noted.
1000kg is damn heavy, unless there is some vehicle attack/impact resistance requirement.

1000 kg is non-trivial. You'll need to think about acceleration and deceleration.
Slamming it against end stops is probably sub-optimal and likely dangerous.
RE: Cantilever Sliding gate design
F(Force to overcome) = (Torque of motor) x ((Gear ratio)/(radius of pinion))
Any assistance on a sample design on any cantilevered sliding gate will be deeply appreciated. Thanks

The problem with sloppy work is that the supply FAR EXCEEDS the demand
