MS Door Wheel
An MS (Mild Steel) Door Wheel is a specific type of door wheel made primarily from mild steel, used in sliding doors, gates, or heavy panels where durability and strength are required. Here's an overview of its characteristics:
1. Material:
- Wheel: The wheel is made from mild steel, offering excellent strength and load-bearing capacity. Mild steel is also durable and can handle heavy doors or gates without deformation.
- Frame or Housing: The wheel is usually encased in a mild steel frame or bracket, ensuring it is securely attached to the door or gate.
2. Design:
- Shape: Typically circular, with a groove or flat edge designed to run along a track. The groove helps keep the wheel aligned with the track, ensuring smooth movement.
- Size: The size varies based on the door or gate's weight. Heavier applications require larger, more robust wheels.
3. Features:
- Load Bearing: MS door wheels are designed to handle heavy loads, making them suitable for large metal gates, industrial doors, or other heavy-duty applications.
- Smooth Operation: Despite their robust construction, these wheels are engineered to reduce friction and enable smooth, effortless sliding of the door.
- Rust Resistance: Although mild steel is prone to rust, MS door wheels are often coated with a protective layer, such as zinc or paint, to enhance corrosion resistance.
4. Functionality:
- Heavy-Duty Use: Ideal for doors or gates that require strong, reliable wheels. This could include industrial settings, commercial properties, or large residential gates.
- Low Maintenance: Once installed, these wheels require minimal maintenance, making them a practical choice for long-term use.
5. Applications:
- Industrial Sliding Gates: Often used in factories, warehouses, and other industrial settings where large, heavy gates need to be moved frequently.
- Heavy-Duty Sliding Doors: Suitable for large metal or wooden doors in commercial buildings.
- Residential Driveway Gates: Commonly found in robust driveway gates, providing smooth operation despite the gate's weight.
6. Advantages:
- Strength and Durability: Mild steel offers excellent tensile strength, making it suitable for demanding applications.
- Cost-Effective: MS door wheels provide a good balance between cost and performance, being more affordable than stainless steel while still offering good durability.
- Customizable: MS door wheels can be fabricated in various sizes and designs to fit specific tracks or door requirements.
