USAutomatic Ranger HD Single Swing Gate Opener
The Ranger HD (Ball Screw) is a unique gate opener featuring an innovative ball screw drive. We chose to sell this gate opener because of this distinctive feature. Traditional electromechanical gate openers use a lubricated Acme screw to drive the piston, relying on lubricant to reduce friction. In contrast, a ball screw uses small ball bearings that ride between the drive screw and the “nut” attached to the end of the piston. This design is significantly more efficient, virtually eliminating drag from friction and extending the life of the screw drive by a factor of four. We recommend this gate opener for areas of high use, such as lighter to medium-weight commercial applications and high-volume residential gates, especially when solar power is desired.
The Ranger HD is an excellent addition for ornamental iron, chain link, farm, ranch, and all other types of gates. This gate opener is solar-friendly and easy for homeowners to install. It can be powered by a DC transformer (included) or a solar panel (not supplied). This low-voltage transformer plugs into a battery controller and can provide up to 575 cycles a day without decreasing the battery charge. Its unique charging system design allows the transformer to be installed away from the gate area if needed, meaning the transformer’s low-voltage wire can be extended. The solar option enables installation in remote areas or applications where solar charging is preferred. The included battery charge controller accepts either the DC transformer or solar panel and comes with a DC plug for easy installation. It also includes two LCR two-button transmitters, photo eyes, and mounting hardware. Another great feature of this unit is the electronic limit control on board for easier position adjustment.
