The PowerMaster 38-00368 Control Arm Assembly is a genuine OEM replacement component engineered for use with compatible PowerMaster MSW and RSW swing gate operators. As the primary mechanical linkage between the gate operator and the gate leaf, the control arm assembly converts the operator's rotational motion into smooth gate movement during opening and closing cycles.
Manufactured to original factory specifications, this heavy-duty assembly is designed to withstand the demanding loads associated with commercial and industrial swing gate applications. Proper arm geometry is critical for maintaining smooth operation, minimizing stress on the operator drivetrain, and achieving accurate gate travel limits. PowerMaster installation documentation emphasizes correct control arm positioning for optimum performance and longevity.
Over time, control arm assemblies may experience wear from repeated cycling, environmental exposure, accidental impact, or improper adjustment. Common symptoms include excessive play, inconsistent gate travel, binding, vibration, or difficulty maintaining proper open and closed positions. Replacing worn components with the genuine 38-00368 assembly helps restore factory performance and reliable operation.
The assembly is commonly used during major repairs, preventative maintenance programs, and complete operator refurbishments where maintaining OEM mechanical integrity is essential.
