I have an old auto gate sliding motor that I am trying to salvage because other then electronic parts, the motor has been very reliable for the past 10 years.

The main issue I am trying to fix now is that the Spring trigger for the limiter has broken and I cannot find a replacement part.
I have tried DIY with a flexible tube and it lasted for the last year.
Now it is broken again and I am giving one last try to get help to replace it.

1) Is there alternative parts I can use, I've seen different spring trigger or magnet limiter ?
2) Is there any repair man able to modify my motor to use these alternative parts?

Unfortunately, I cannot remember the Motor brand without having to dig for the receipt, but I think it is not a local brand.

Welcome all help!

Thanks. Would anyone know any installer who knows how to modify to magnetic limit switch?

I doubt it. But thanks anyway. Will wait for any other introduction or i will try to diy.

Appreciate if anyone could direct me where to get the magnetic switch. My search so far only found the magnets with brackets.

Hey Thanks a lot, but this is what i have found too, I thought it was just per pictures of brackets and magnet. Anyway i am asking the seller now.
I would think a sensor would look like this link

Need to replace my sliding gate very soon. Sliding motor is dead.
Was going to get DC motor but I start to see many complains.
Do share your DC motor experience, warranty issues, reliability.

From what i gathered here, Sliding DC motor seems to be more problem them AC.
why do i need DC motor for?
I am okay with my 8 year+ Italy motor, i doubt it has DC. Only problem is I can never find replacement parts, even the mother board has been changed to local board. Limiter spring switch has no replacement parts.

1) Appreciate DC vs AC differences.
2) Prefer a Motor using magnetic Limiter rather then spring.

Lucky for you . My experience wasn't smooth sailing.
I am now having to live with power trip to the whole house when it rains caused by the autogate motor installation.
He choose to ignore my text for support.

Thanks for follow up. As discussed we will wait till you are available.

Yes, happy to say after 2 days with the switch on full time, i have not encountered any power trip. Thank you.
That wire tear must be the cause, maybe it was in contact with some other conductive metal.
No issues, I did wait for you patiently

your burned wired looks like starting from the taped wire contact area.
This could happen when a contact is not tighten correctly.

Considering Delux autogate 16-18ft. Any negative feedback ? how is their motor?
Where can i sell my used sliding gate motor, it is still very good. Replacing because renovating house.
