Part One :Do You Really Understand of Material Selection for Sliding Gate Wheels?

In the field of modern building and facility management, sliding gate wheels play an indispensable role. They are extensively used in enterprises, institutions, and private residences, and have also become the standard configuration for the main gates of public places. However, the variety of steel sliding gate wheel of hardware on the market is vast, and the price differences are significant. What is the underlying reason for this? The material quality of the wheels is one of the key factors. This article will delve into the guide for selecting the material of sliding gate wheels to help you make wise decisions.

The Importance of Material Selection for Sliding Gate Wheels

Today, let's take the commonly used sliding gate wheel with exterior bracket (LSV series )of wheels as an example. The LSV series sliding gate wheels mainly consist of four key components: the bracket, the roller, the bearing, and the rivet. Choosing the best material for these components is crucial to ensure the cost-effectiveness of the wheels.

Choice of Bracket Material

The bracket serves as the base of the wheel, and its material directly affects the wheel's stability and durability. Brackets are made by processing iron plates with a stamping press, and the common iron plate materials on the market include hot-rolled plate, pickled plate, and cold-rolled plate. Cold-rolled plate, with its excellent strength and surface smoothness, has become the preferred choice in the high-end market. For instance, Open Company uses cold-rolled plates to make brackets, ensuring the strength and appearance quality of the sliding gate wheels.

Careful Selection of rolling gate pulley Material

The rolling pulley is the core component of the wheel system, and its material directly relates to the wheel's load-bearing capacity and wear resistance. Round steel is the raw material for making rollers, and the material of round steel is divided into low carbon steel, medium carbon steel, and high carbon steel based on different carbon content. Medium carbon steel, such as China's 45# steel, with its higher strength and hardness, is particularly suitable for making rollers that bear heavy loads and are frequently used in sliding gates. Although the cost is higher, the durability of medium carbon steel rollers makes it a highly cost-effective choice. All the wheels of Open Company are made of medium carbon steel, which not only enhances the wear resistance of the wheels but also improves the smoothness of the rollers, making them more durable and aesthetically pleasing.

Conclusion and Experience Sharing

With 25 years of production experience, we suggest that when choosing sliding gate wheels, you should consider the materials of the bracket and the roller comprehensively. Although the combination of cold-rolled plate brackets and medium carbon steel wheels has a slightly higher initial investment, the long-term benefits are significant, providing stable and reliable performance for sliding gates.
