Track Rollers for Sliding Gates or Heavy Load Movement
High-quality track rollers are the foundation for functional sliding gates or sliding doors. Such constructions can be highly beneficial both outdoors and indoors, saving you significant time and energy. Our extensive range not only includes track rollers for sliding gates but also offers a wide selection of models specifically designed for heavy loads. Explore our product offerings to find the ideal solution for your application!
The Advantages of Track Rollers
Unlike support rollers and cam rollers, track rollers are particularly suitable for mounting on axles. They are based on ball bearings with solid outer rings, capable of handling high radial and axial loads. Double-row rollers are better suited to absorbing tilting moments than single-row ones. Additionally, the running surface on the outer ring minimizes edge stresses. Ball bearings stand out for their low friction resistance, as their rolling elements efficiently transmit movement. At TORWEGGE, you will find not only track rollers with ball bearings but also wheels with stainless steel ball bearings for transporting loads. Depending on the floor conditions and the weight of the load, you can choose from wheels made of thermoplastic, polyamide, or polypropylene.
For automatic sliding gates, it is especially important that the track rollers last for many years. This is best ensured with this load-relieving technology. Track rollers are attached to the bottom rail of the sliding gate and then placed on the corresponding track. In industrial applications, track rollers are used for conveyor systems or cam drives. Once installed, ball-bearing track rollers operate with high efficiency, ensuring long-lasting and reliable performance.
What to Consider When Buying Track Rollers
Our track rollers are made from robust materials designed to meet the highest standards and deliver reliable performance for many years. They are manufactured from high-quality stainless steel or solid steel, which, in its galvanized version, offers enhanced weather resistance and a lifespan of up to 75 years. On flat steel rails, they run smoothly and quietly, provided the rails are optimized for either an angular or semi-circular groove.
When selecting the correct size, it is important to ensure that the rail is slightly narrower than the inner width of the groove. To maintain and preserve your system, we recommend lubricating certain types of ball-bearing rollers at regular intervals. Special greases and oils, whether synthetic or mineral-based, are suitable for this purpose. They protect against corrosion and reduce dirt and contamination. Water, dust, and debris are repelled by mineral oils and greases. Additionally, lubricants with high viscosity further reduce the already low friction of the track rollers.
Synthetic lubricants, such as PTFE sprays (Teflon), offer a sustainable alternative to comparable petroleum-based products and stand out due to their better temperature stability. As a result, track rollers in sliding gates require less frequent lubrication. However, mineral-based lubricants are more cost-effective. Besides purely synthetic and mineral-based lubricants, blends are also available, combining the advantages of both types. Proper lubrication eliminates bothersome squeaking and creaking, ensuring smooth and quiet operation of the track rollers. If you follow these tips, there is nothing standing in the way of long-lasting satisfaction with your rolling mechanism. If you are looking for rollers for pallet jacks, you can find them in our dedicated selection of pallet jack rollers.
