U-Rail Roller 15mm Iron Zinc / Nylon Wheel

U-Rail Roller 15mm Iron Zinc / Nylon Wheel is a guide roller for suspending and moving lightweight sliding curtains, tarpaulins and panels. The roller combines a straight galvanised steel mounting plate with two bearing-mounted nylon running wheels.

The version is designed for the 15mm U-rail system and measures 54.5mm in length and 30mm in width. The maximum load capacity is 10kg per roller.

Applications

This roller is used for lightweight PVC sliding curtains, transparent partitions, tarpaulins and sliding panels in workshops, warehouses and production environments.

The nylon running wheels provide smooth guidance and can reduce contact noise compared with all-metal running wheels.

What should you consider?

Check that the roller is suitable for the 15mm U-rail profile and that the straight mounting plate matches the suspended material.

The maximum load capacity is 10kg per roller. This is lower than the standard metal version, which has a maximum load capacity of 15kg per roller. When determining the number of rollers, consider the total weight and load capacity of the complete rail construction.

Nylon running wheels may be damaged by dirt, sharp edges or deformation inside the rail. Check the running surfaces and suitability for the operating environment.

Processing and use

Determine the required suspension points and attach the straight mounting plate to the curtain, tarpaulin or panel using suitable fasteners.

Insert the rollers into the corresponding 15mm U-rail and check that both nylon running wheels rotate freely.

Check movement along the complete rail length and remove any contamination from the rail profile. Install suitable end stops to prevent the rollers from leaving the rail.

Matching products

Fepatex offers U-rails in system sizes of 15, 24, 38 and 44 mm. Depending on the profile size, different lengths and versions in galvanised steel, stainless steel and aluminium are available.

Matching wall brackets, ceiling brackets and additional accessories, such as end stops, connectors and bends, are available for the different rail systems. The correct version depends on the profile size, mounting method and application. Components from different rail systems are not automatically interchangeable.

Alternative or other version

Six roller versions are available for the 15mm U-rail system: galvanised steel, galvanised steel with angled plate, stainless steel 304, galvanised steel with nylon eye, galvanised steel with nylon wheel (this version) and non-bearing white nylon.

The versions with metal running wheels have different running characteristics. The white nylon version has no ball bearings, while the angled-plate and nylon-eye variants differ in mounting arrangement.
