CHAIN GUIDE INSERT FOR A GARAGE DOOR

摘要

A chain guide is provided for a garage door operator that reduces frictional forces on the chain guide as the chain moves along a travel path. The garage door operator includes a chain having a portion engaged with a sprocket, with a motor for electrically powering the rotation of the sprocket to thereby move the chain. A chain guide is provided in the operator, with the chain guide defining a path for movement of the chain. The friction reducing insert is disposed in the channel of the chain guide to capture and engage the chain and reduce frictional forces.
