APC-PE2000 Photoelectric Safety Sensor Set
The Safety sensor set is used to prevent the closing cycle occurring during the case of the sensor path being interrupted by vehicles, trailers or any other obstacles.
If the gate begins to close and the sensor path is interrupted then the gate will stop and return to the open position.
Both sensors (transmitter and receiver) are wired back to the control box of the gate system using the supplied cable roll, alternatively a reflective sensor upgrade is available which will only require wiring from the sensor mounted at the control box.
- Up to 15 Metres Infared beam operating distance
- Only powers on when the command is given to close the gates
- Alignment led to assist in the installation process
- Weather sealed with the supplied cover seals
- Easy screw down wiring termination
(2 x 50 CM) Nylon Gear Racks 1 Meter Pack | Made in Italy by Stagnoli

Interlocking Gear Racks Made in Italy by Stagnoli
The Keyed Interlocking Modular Nylon Gear Rack is Compatible with All Sliding Gate Automation
Stagnoli, Italy invented the nylon racks and has been manufacturing nylon racks since 1981. The advantage of nylon racks is no lubrication, rust-free and silent. Furthermore, with the nylon rack, there is no need to carry out any welding, which is instead required for iron racks and which involves more machining in the assembly process. GR50 is a quality product and is completely Made in Italy.
Dimensions of Modular Nylon Gear Racks | Sliding Gate Hardware
This gear rack nylon coated with steel core, strong and quiet, is compatible with all sliding gate automation, and is easy DIY install.


Modular gear racks kit includes;
A box with 2 nylon gear racks measuring 50 cm, 4 self-tapping and self-piercing screws, and 4 washers in galvanized steel. (Made in Italy by Stagnoli)
