Maximum Controls MX017 Chain Idler Wheel

Chain Idler Wheel Assembly for Maximum Controls Slide Gate Operators

The Maximum Controls MX017 Chain Idler Wheel is a replacement chain idler assembly used on compatible Maximum Controls slide gate operators. This assembly helps guide and support the drive chain as it moves through the operator, keeping the chain properly routed through the drive system during gate travel.

The MX017 is compatible with multiple Maximum Controls slide gate operator models, including MAX 1500 PRO, MAX 1200 FS PRO, MAX 1700 FS PRO, MAX 2200 PRO, MXG 1800 FS, MAX F18 PRO, MXG 2300, and MXG 2300-ST operators. A worn, damaged, seized, or misaligned idler wheel can contribute to chain noise, uneven movement, chain drag, poor tracking, or added strain on the drive system. Replacing the idler wheel with the correct assembly helps restore proper chain guidance and supports smoother slide gate operator performance.
