Maximum Controls MXG013S #40 Stainless Steel Chain – 30 ft for MXG & MAX PRO Slide Gate Operators

The Maximum Controls MXG013S #40 Stainless Steel Chain is a heavy-duty, 30-foot replacement drive chain designed for compatible Maximum Controls commercial sliding gate operators. Manufactured from stainless steel for improved corrosion resistance, this chain is an excellent choice for gate automation installations requiring durable, dependable performance in outdoor environments.

Designed for Maximum Controls MXG stainless steel slide gate operators and compatible MAX PRO Series sliding gate operators, the MXG013S provides the chain drive connection needed to transfer mechanical movement from the gate operator to the sliding gate.

Unlike conventional carbon steel chain, stainless steel construction offers improved resistance to rust and corrosion, making this replacement chain particularly suitable for humid environments, coastal installations, outdoor commercial properties, and facilities exposed to moisture.

The chain features a #40 roller chain size and is supplied in a 30-foot length, providing material for replacement, repair, and installation applications where the gate operator requires #40 chain.

Maximum Controls commercial slide gate operators are designed for demanding vehicular access applications, including gated communities, commercial properties, apartment complexes, industrial entrances, and secured facilities. Using the correct drive chain size is essential for smooth gate travel, reliable sprocket engagement, and proper operator performance.

The Maximum Controls MXG013S is intended for compatible #40-chain MAX PRO slide gate operators, excluding the MAX RHINO Series, and for applicable MXG stainless steel slide gate operator configurations.

Whether replacing a worn chain or installing a new commercial sliding gate system, the MXG013S offers a corrosion-resistant replacement solution for compatible Maximum Controls equipment.

Stainless Steel Construction for Outdoor Gate Applications

The MXG013S features stainless steel construction, providing increased corrosion resistance for gate automation systems exposed to outdoor conditions.

Sliding gate operator drive chains are frequently subjected to moisture, changing temperatures, dust, and environmental contaminants.

Over time, corrosion can interfere with chain flexibility, increase friction, and contribute to premature wear of the chain and associated drive components.

Stainless steel helps reduce the risk of corrosion-related deterioration while providing the mechanical durability needed for compatible sliding gate systems.

This makes the MXG013S particularly useful for:

• Coastal and humid environments

• Outdoor commercial gate installations

• Industrial facilities

• Properties exposed to rain and moisture

• Stainless steel gate operator installations

• Replacement of corroded or damaged drive chains

Important: Stainless steel is corrosion-resistant, not completely corrosion-proof. Proper installation, inspection, and maintenance remain necessary.

#40 Roller Chain Drive System

The Maximum Controls MXG013S uses #40 roller chain, a common drive chain size used in commercial sliding gate automation.

In a chain-driven sliding gate system, the operator's motor and gearbox rotate a drive sprocket that engages the roller chain.

The chain transfers this movement to the gate, allowing the operator to open and close the entrance.

Using the correct chain size is essential for:

• Proper sprocket engagement

• Smooth gate movement

• Reliable power transmission

• Reduced risk of chain skipping

• Correct chain tension

• Reduced premature wear of drive components

The MXG013S is intended for systems designed to use #40 roller chain and should not be substituted for #50 chain.

Maximum Controls Operator Compatibility

The MXG013S is intended for compatible Maximum Controls slide gate operators that use #40 drive chain.

Compatible product families include:

• Maximum Controls MAX 1200 FS PRO

• Maximum Controls MAX 1700 FS PRO

• Maximum Controls MAX 1500 PRO

• Maximum Controls MAX 2200 PRO

• Maximum Controls MAX F18 PRO

• Applicable Maximum Controls MXG stainless steel slide gate operators

Not Compatible With:

• Maximum Controls MAX RHINO 4000 FS

• Maximum Controls MAX RHINO 5500

• Other sliding gate operators requiring #50 drive chain

• Systems with incompatible chain pitch, sprockets, or installation requirements

Compatibility Note: Confirm the operator's exact model, drive sprocket size, and manufacturer parts requirements before ordering. Compatibility with the MAX PRO family does not mean the chain is included as standard equipment on those operators.

30-Foot Replacement Chain Length

The MXG013S is supplied as a 30-foot length of stainless steel #40 chain.

This length is suitable for many commercial sliding gate replacement and installation projects, depending on the gate travel distance and chain routing configuration.

The installer should calculate the required chain length based on the gate's travel, operator position, chain attachment points, and manufacturer installation instructions.

The supplied chain may require sizing and connection during installation.

Important: Chain connectors, master links, mounting brackets, and other installation hardware are not assumed to be included unless specifically stated in the product package.

Replacement & Maintenance Applications

Replacing worn or damaged gate operator chain is an important part of maintaining a reliable automatic sliding gate system.

Chain replacement may be appropriate when the existing chain exhibits:

• Excessive corrosion

• Damaged or seized links

• Significant elongation or wear

• Poor sprocket engagement

• Irregular gate movement

• Visible mechanical damage

• Inability to maintain proper tension

During replacement, installers should also inspect the drive sprocket, idler components, chain brackets, gate rollers, and track alignment.

A new chain cannot correct problems caused by damaged sprockets, improper gate alignment, or excessive mechanical resistance.

Installation Considerations

The MXG013S should be installed by qualified gate automation personnel familiar with chain-driven sliding gate systems.

Before installation:

1. Disconnect and secure electrical power to the operator.

2. Confirm that the operator requires #40 chain.

3. Inspect the existing sprocket and chain routing.

4. Determine the correct chain length and connection method.

5. Install the chain using compatible hardware and manufacturer-recommended tension.

6. Verify smooth gate movement throughout the full travel distance.

7. Restore power and test the operator's complete safety and operating functions.

Incorrect chain tension can cause premature wear, unreliable operation, or mechanical damage.

Always follow the applicable Maximum Controls installation and maintenance instructions.
