Description
Internal Opening Stop for FAAC 770 Underground Operators
The FAAC Internal Mechanical Opening Stop (722121) is a genuine component designed for use with FAAC 770 underground swing gate operators. It provides a fixed mechanical stop within the operator assembly to define the maximum opening position of the gate.
This component is used where a physical stop is required to control the open limit and prevent over-travel of the gate leaf.
Function and Operation
The internal opening stop is installed within the operator mechanism and acts as a mechanical limit point during the opening cycle.
When the gate reaches the set open position, the operator arm contacts the stop, preventing further movement. This ensures consistent positioning and reduces reliance on electronic limits alone.
The use of a mechanical stop is important in applications where precise stopping is required or where additional protection is needed to prevent excessive force on hinges or mounting points.
Key Features
Mechanical Open Limit Control
Provides a fixed physical stop to define the maximum opening position of the gate.
Operator Protection
Reduces stress on the operator by preventing over-travel beyond the intended limit.
Consistent Positioning
Ensures repeatable open positions regardless of environmental or load variations.
Genuine FAAC Component
Manufactured to suit FAAC 770 operator assemblies for correct fit and operation.
Applications
Suitable for use in:
- FAAC 770 underground swing gate operators
- Installations requiring a defined mechanical open limit
- Systems where external ground stops are not used
Compatibility
Designed specifically for:
