Constructed from stainless steel, the #40 roller chain provides enhanced resistance to rust, oxidation, moisture, and environmental exposure compared to conventional carbon steel chain. Its corrosion-resistant design makes it particularly well-suited for outdoor gate installations, coastal properties, humid climates, and locations where long-term durability and reduced corrosion-related maintenance are essential.
Supplied in a 100-foot continuous reel, this chain provides gate installation professionals, access control contractors, and maintenance technicians with a convenient bulk solution for new installations, drive chain replacements, and ongoing service requirements. The continuous reel allows installers to measure and cut chain to the appropriate length for individual gate configurations, minimizing unnecessary waste while accommodating a wide range of sliding gate dimensions.
Designed for compatibility with All-O-Matic sliding gate operators and other automated gate systems requiring ANSI #40 roller chain, this product supports smooth mechanical power transfer between the operator's drive sprocket and gate assembly. Its precision roller chain configuration helps maintain consistent engagement with properly matched sprockets, supporting reliable gate travel and efficient drive system operation.
Whether replacing deteriorated chain on an existing operator, completing a new automated sliding gate installation, or maintaining multiple commercial access points, the All-O-Matic #40 Stainless Steel Roller Chain provides a dependable solution for professional gate automation applications.

Compatibility & Installation Information
The All-O-Matic #40 Stainless Steel Roller Chain – 100 ft Reel is intended for sliding gate operators and chain-drive assemblies specifically designed for ANSI #40 roller chain.
It may be used with compatible All-O-Matic sliding gate operators and other manufacturers' gate automation systems when the specified chain size, working load, and sprocket configuration match the installation requirements.
Before installation, verify the following:
-
Correct Chain Size: Confirm that the gate operator requires ANSI #40 roller chain rather than #41, #50, or another chain configuration.
-
Sprocket Compatibility: Ensure drive and idler sprockets are designed for #40 roller chain.
-
Required Chain Length: Measure the gate travel and chain routing configuration to determine the correct installation length.
-
Proper Chain Tension: Adjust chain tension according to the gate operator manufacturer's installation guidelines.
-
Chain Alignment: Maintain proper alignment between the operator drive sprocket, idler components, and gate chain attachments.
-
Installation Hardware: Verify whether connecting links, master links, chain brackets, and other required components must be purchased separately.
-
Load Requirements: Confirm that the stainless steel chain's rated working load is suitable for the intended gate operator application.
Important: Not all All-O-Matic sliding gate operators use #40 chain. Always verify the required chain size for your specific operator model before ordering. Stainless steel roller chain should not be substituted for another chain size or strength rating without confirming compatibility.
Why Choose Stainless Steel Roller Chain?
Sliding gate operators are frequently installed outdoors, where drive components are continuously exposed to rain, humidity, airborne contaminants, temperature changes, and other environmental conditions.
Conventional carbon steel roller chains can develop surface corrosion over time, particularly when exposed to moisture or insufficient maintenance. Rust buildup can contribute to stiff chain articulation, increased friction, inconsistent sprocket engagement, and premature component deterioration.
Stainless steel roller chain offers improved resistance to corrosion and oxidation, making it an attractive option for gate automation installations where environmental durability is a priority.
Advantages of Stainless Steel Construction
-
Corrosion Resistance: Helps resist rust and oxidation caused by outdoor moisture exposure.
-
Long-Term Durability: Supports extended service life in suitable environments when properly maintained.
-
Consistent Chain Movement: Helps reduce corrosion-related stiffness and binding.
-
Outdoor Installation Suitability: Appropriate for many exposed gate automation applications.
-
Reduced Corrosion-Related Service: Can help reduce maintenance associated with rust buildup and chain deterioration.
-
Professional-Grade Replacement Option: Provides a corrosion-resistant alternative when compatible with the operator's required specifications.
Although stainless steel provides excellent corrosion resistance, it does not eliminate the need for periodic inspection, proper lubrication, correct chain tension, and routine gate operator maintenance.
