Garage Door Opener Repair Compton

Call on AFF Garage Doors for garage door opener repair. A garage door opener system consists of components that work together to facilitate the smooth operation of the garage door. Two common types of garage door opener systems are chain drive and belt drive systems. Let's explore the different parts of each system here and signs that your opener system might need repair.

In a chain drive system, the key components include:

• Motor: The motor is very important as it relates to the garage door opener system and its functioning, providing the power to operate the door. It converts electrical energy into mechanical energy to drive the system.
• Chain: The chain is a sturdy metal chain that connects the motor to the trolley, which is attached to the garage door. It transfers the motor's power to move the door along the tracks.
• Trolley: The trolley is responsible for carrying the garage door along the tracks. It is attached to the chain and moves back and forth, guided by the tracks, to open and close the door.
• Drive Gear: The drive gear is located inside the motor housing and meshes with the chain. It transfers the rotational motion from the motor to the chain, enabling the movement of the trolley.
• On the other hand, in a belt drive system, the main components include:
• Motor: Similar to the chain drive system, the motor is responsible for powering the garage door opener system.
• Belt: Instead of a chain, a belt drive system utilizes a reinforced rubber belt to connect the motor to the trolley. The belt offers quieter operation compared to the noise produced by a chain.
• Trolley: Similar to the chain drive system, the trolley carries and guides the garage door along the tracks, utilizing the rotational force from the motor.
• Drive Gear: The drive gear in a belt drive system is responsible for transferring the motor's rotational motion to the belt, resulting in the movement of the trolley.
