Identify Slide Mechanism

[eric1514]

Hi all,

Here's a pic looking up at part of the slide mechanism on my MH. Can someone identify the maker of this thing?



TIA,
Eric

Yes it does, Thanks.

While it looks similiar it is NOT a Newmar style. The system is currently a LCI(Lippert) supplied system. BTW, Newmar slide systems except for the HWH they use is Patented by Newmar, so not other OEM will be using that system. If you are looking for the Motor/actuator, this link will direct you to just one of your style. Doug

Thanks, Doug

The system is working well. I just wanted to learn about how it works. I see that actuator running parallel to those tracks.

For instance, at the end of the slide’s travel something makes a rapid thunk, thunk, thunk. I try to limit it to one or two but maybe it’s just a normal sound it makes, like a clutch.

I've looked a several including that one but none have been shown that specific rack and pinion. Thanks, anyway.

I tried that but Dynamax sprayed the motor with undercoating and it's difficult to remove. As a last resort, I'll try that.
