The Link Joiner 2 connects sections of the operator chain assembly inside Marantec rail systems.
It is used to:
- reconnect broken chain sections
- join trolley drive components
- repair worn chain connectors
- restore chain tension transfer between motor and trolley
The connector is commonly found in:
- residential chain-drive garage operators
- Marantec M-Line systems
- older Comfort series rail assemblies
Compatibility
The Link Joiner 2 is intended for:
- Marantec SK rails
- Older Marantec chain-drive systems
- Rail assemblies produced between 1999 and 2006
Likely compatible operators include:
- Marantec M4500
- M4700
- Q-series rail systems
- Older Comfort operators
Compatibility depends on:
- rail generation
- chain profile
- trolley style
- connector geometry
Installation Notes
Typical installation procedure:
- Disconnect opener power
- Release door from trolley
- Open rail access section
- Remove damaged connector
- Align chain ends
- Install joiner halves
- Tighten retaining screws
- Re-tension chain if required
Technician discussions on garage-door forums confirm:
- replacement is generally straightforward
- connector assemblies are often replaceable without replacing the full rail
