    摘要: A crossing gate mechanism includes a gate mechanism enclosure, a gate arm shaft, and a quick-replacement moon gear assembly. The gate mechanism enclosure defines an interior space. The gate arm shaft extends into the gate mechanism enclosure and is rotatable relative thereto. The quick-replacement moon gear assembly is coupled to the gate arm shaft for rotation therewith and is positioned within the interior space. The quick-replacement moon gear assembly includes a gear hub fixed to the gate arm shaft for rotational movement therewith, and a quick-replacement moon gear releasably coupled to the gear hub. The quick-replacement moon gear is removeable from the interior space while the gear hub remains fixed to the gate arm shaft.

    摘要: A crossing gate mechanism includes a swingable gate arm, a rotatable gate arm shaft fixed to the gate arm, and an electronic sensor assembly coupled to the gate arm shaft. Rotation of the gate arm shaft corresponds with swinging of the gate arm. The electronic sensor assembly senses an angular position of the gate arm shaft and transmits a position signal corresponding thereto. The electronic sensor assembly includes a driving element that is attached to the gate arm shaft to rotate therewith. the electronic sensor assembly also includes a driven element that is driven by the driving element such that rotation of the gate arm shaft causes the driven element to rotate. The electronic sensor assembly is configured to generate the position signal based on a position of the gate arm shaft.

    摘要: A crossing gate mechanism includes a gate mechanism enclosure, electrical components inside the gate mechanism enclosure, and a controller inside the gate mechanism enclosure. The controller is connected to and configured to monitor and/or control the electrical components. The controller includes an operator panel for receiving input from a user. In addition, the controller has a user interface displayed by the operator panel. The controller is operable to present information associated with the electrical components on the user interface.
