Description
HEAVY DUTY LINEAR ACTUATOR FOR RESIDENTIAL/ COMMERCIAL USE
DSP motion control for smooth operation, plus, separate closing speeds for dual gate installations.
The Max Arm is a long throw linear actuator that will move up to 1000 lbs gates. The smooth motion control and separate closing speeds for dual gate installations truly sets this machine apart from it’s competition. The 15 gauge gold zinc, powder coated metal control box with standard loop rack and toroid power supply protects the many user friendly features of the DSP Arm Controller board. A window display for instant diagnostics, opening and closing emergency reversal controls, and easy logical control of gate motion and safety parameters are just a few aspects of many that makes Maximum Controls’ residential/commercial linear actuator a gate operator you should consider.

MAX ARM Specifications
Values are from the Maximum Controls installation manual for the MAX Arm and MAX Super Arm 2300 (Version 12b).
| Gate type | Vehicular swing gate only; pedestrians must use a separate entrance |
|---|---|
| Mounting options | Pull-open or push-open; single leaf or bi-parting pair |
| Duty cycle | Continuous on AC input power |
| Thrust | 4,000 N nominal, 4,500 N peak |
| Stroke | 21.2 in maximum |
| Input power | Switchable at the control box: 115 V AC at 6 A or 230 V AC at 2 A, single phase |
| Actuator power | 24 V DC; 144 W maximum absorbed power; 7.5 A maximum operating current for up to 10 s |
| UL 325 classes | Class I, II, III and IV; certified to CAN/CSA C22.2 No. 247 |
| Entrapment protection | Built-in Type A (ERD sensor), plus monitored inputs for Type B1 photocells (N.C. or 10K) and Type B2 sensing edges; sensing edges must be the monitored 10K normally closed type |
| External sensors required | Monitored external sensors for each entrapment area, in both the opening and closing directions wherever an entrapment or pinch point exists; with no external device installed, the operator will not function |
| Not in the box | Entrapment sensors, sold separately; flexible conduit for the operator wire |
| Recommended sensors | The manual’s list includes the Omron E3K-R10K4-10R, EMX IRB-MON and EMX IRB-RET photocells, the EMX Wireless Edge Link WEL-200T/WEL-200R and the Miller Edge R-Band Wireless Edge Unit (RB-G-RX10 and RB-TX10) |
On a residential or commercial vehicular swing gate in Riverside or Corona, plan the mounting before the arm goes up: the manual requires a support bar across the full gate length for the front bracket, never bare pickets, and the arm runs from the DSP Arm Controller in the MAX AC control box.
