Viking Access VA-G5NX Replacement Swing Gate Arm

Replacement Linear Actuator for Existing Viking G-5 Gate Systems

The Viking Access VA-G5NX Replacement Swing Gate Arm is the operator arm only for existing Viking G-5 swing gate automation systems. It is intended for replacing a damaged, worn, or failed G-5 actuator while retaining the site's existing Electronic Control Unit (ECU), access controls, safety devices, radio equipment, and other system components.

The G-5 uses a 24 VDC, 1/2 HP motor and linear lead-screw drive to automate residential and commercial vehicular swing gates. Depending on gate length, the operator supports gates from 2,000 lb at 10 ft to 800 lb at 18 ft, with a 100% continuous-duty cycle and an opening range up to 135 degrees.

Because the VA-G5NX is the operator arm rather than a complete automation kit, it is a practical replacement when the existing G-5 control system remains serviceable and only the gate-mounted actuator needs to be replaced.

Conclusion

The Viking VA-G5NX is intended for an existing G-5 installation that requires replacement of the gate-mounted operator without purchasing another complete single or dual kit. Before ordering, confirm that the existing control equipment is a compatible Viking G-5 system and that the gate remains within Viking's published weight-to-length limits.
