All-O-Matic #50 Dacromet Rust-Free Roller Chain – 10 ft Box | Heavy-Duty Sliding Gate Operator Drive Chain

The All-O-Matic #50 Dacromet Rust-Free Roller Chain – 10 ft Box is a heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant drive chain designed for dependable mechanical power transmission in commercial and industrial sliding gate operator applications. Featuring a specialized Dacromet protective coating, this #50 roller chain delivers enhanced resistance to rust, oxidation, and environmental deterioration, making it an excellent solution for demanding outdoor gate automation installations.

Unlike conventional untreated steel roller chains, Dacromet-coated chain utilizes a zinc-aluminum flake protective coating designed to shield metal surfaces against corrosion caused by rain, humidity, moisture, and other environmental conditions. This protective finish makes the chain particularly suitable for exposed sliding gate installations, commercial access control systems, industrial facilities, and locations where long-term corrosion protection is a priority.

Supplied in a convenient 10-foot box, the All-O-Matic #50 Dacromet Roller Chain provides professional gate installers, access control contractors, and maintenance technicians with a practical solution for smaller installations, drive chain replacements, and ongoing service requirements. The boxed configuration offers a manageable quantity of chain without requiring the purchase of a full 100-foot reel, making it ideal for maintenance projects, individual gate repairs, and applications requiring shorter chain lengths.

Designed for use with compatible All-O-Matic sliding gate operators and other automated gate systems requiring ANSI #50 roller chain, this product supports consistent mechanical power transfer between the operator's drive sprocket and gate assembly. Its roller chain construction promotes reliable engagement with properly matched sprockets, helping maintain smooth gate travel and efficient drive system operation.

Whether completing a new commercial sliding gate installation, replacing corroded chain on an existing operator, or maintaining industrial access control equipment, the All-O-Matic #50 Dacromet Rust-Free Roller Chain – 10 ft Box provides a professional-grade solution for applications requiring durable, corrosion-resistant #50 roller chain.

Compatibility & Installation Information

The All-O-Matic #50 Dacromet Rust-Free Roller Chain – 10 ft Box is intended for sliding gate operators and chain-drive assemblies specifically designed for ANSI #50 roller chain.

It may be suitable for compatible All-O-Matic sliding gate operators and other manufacturers' automated gate systems when chain dimensions, sprocket configuration, and mechanical load requirements match the installation.

Before installation, verify the following:

• Correct Chain Size: Confirm that the gate operator requires ANSI #50 roller chain rather than #40, #41, or another chain configuration.

• Sprocket Compatibility: Ensure the operator's drive sprocket and idler assemblies are designed for #50 roller chain.

• Required Chain Length: Measure the gate travel distance and chain routing to determine whether the 10-foot boxed length is sufficient.

• Proper Chain Tension: Adjust chain tension according to the gate operator manufacturer's installation requirements.

• Chain Alignment: Maintain correct alignment between the drive sprocket, idler components, and gate chain attachment points.

• Connecting Hardware: Verify whether master links, connecting links, chain brackets, and other installation components are included or must be purchased separately.

• Working Load Requirements: Confirm the chain's mechanical load rating is suitable for the intended gate operator.

• Routine Maintenance: Inspect, clean, and lubricate the chain as recommended by the manufacturer.

Important: Not all All-O-Matic sliding gate operators use #50 roller chain. Always verify the correct chain size and specifications for your particular operator model before ordering.

The 10-foot box contains the specified chain length. Connecting links and additional installation hardware should not be assumed included unless confirmed by the manufacturer.

What Is Dacromet Rust-Free Chain?

Dacromet is a corrosion-resistant coating technology that utilizes zinc and aluminum flakes within a protective inorganic coating system. The coating creates a protective barrier against environmental exposure while providing additional corrosion resistance through its zinc-containing formulation.

Unlike stainless steel chain, which relies on the corrosion-resistant properties of its base metal, Dacromet-coated roller chain uses a specialized protective surface treatment applied to steel components.

This makes Dacromet-coated chain a practical alternative for installations requiring enhanced corrosion resistance without necessarily using stainless steel construction.

Advantages of Dacromet-Coated Roller Chain

• Enhanced Rust Protection: Helps resist corrosion caused by rain, humidity, and moisture exposure.

• Protective Zinc-Aluminum Coating: Provides an additional corrosion-resistant surface treatment.

• Outdoor Application Suitability: Beneficial for exposed sliding gate installations.

• Reliable Mechanical Performance: Supports consistent chain-drive operation when properly specified and maintained.

• Reduced Corrosion-Related Deterioration: Helps minimize rust-related damage compared to untreated steel chain.

• Professional Installation Flexibility: Suitable for new installations and replacement projects requiring compatible #50 roller chain.

• Long-Term Service Potential: Can help extend usable service life in suitable operating environments.

Although marketed as rust-free, Dacromet-coated chain is not completely immune to corrosion. Coating damage, abrasion, environmental exposure, and inadequate maintenance can affect corrosion resistance over time.

Dacromet vs. Stainless Steel vs. Standard Black Chain

Selecting the appropriate roller chain finish is important for maintaining dependable sliding gate operation under different environmental conditions.

Dacromet-Coated Chain: Provides corrosion protection through a specialized surface coating, making it an option for outdoor sliding gate installations where conventional steel chain may deteriorate more quickly.

Stainless Steel Chain: Offers corrosion resistance throughout its base material rather than relying solely on a surface coating. However, stainless steel is not necessarily stronger or more wear-resistant than coated carbon steel.

Standard Black Chain: Provides a conventional roller chain solution for installations where enhanced corrosion protection is not a primary requirement.

The appropriate chain should be selected based on the gate operator's specifications, environmental exposure, chain working-load rating, and maintenance requirements.

10-Foot Box vs. 100-Foot Reel

All-O-Matic offers roller chains in multiple sizes, protective finishes, and packaging configurations, including 10-foot boxes and 100-foot reels. 

 

The 10-foot box is a practical option for smaller projects, individual chain replacements, and technicians who need a specific quantity without purchasing bulk chain.

The 100-foot reel is better suited for professional installers, service companies, and maintenance departments completing multiple installations or requiring larger quantities of chain.

Benefits of 10-Foot Box Packaging

• Convenient Replacement Length: Provides a manageable quantity for smaller maintenance and installation projects.

• Reduced Excess Inventory: Helps avoid purchasing more chain than necessary.

• Customizable Installation: Chain can be shortened to meet individual gate requirements.

• Easy Service Storage: Convenient for gate operator service vehicles and maintenance inventories.

• Professional Repair Supply: Useful for technicians replacing worn or corroded chain sections.

• Flexible Purchasing: Allows customers to purchase chain in smaller quantities instead of full bulk reels.
