Practical comparison: nylon on top, stainless steel below
The image clearly shows the difference between the two versions.
✓ upper carriage with nylon wheels
✓ lower carriage with stainless steel wheels
✓ identical housing and assembly
✓ difference lies entirely in material and performance
Although the construction is the same, the materials respond completely differently under load.
Material behavior under load
The biggest difference occurs when the sliding door is under load for an extended period.
✓ stainless steel wheels remain dimensionally stable
✓ nylon wheels can dent
✓ stainless steel maintains constant diameter
✓ nylon loses flexibility due to deformation
This difference determines how much a sliding door will become difficult to operate over time.
Rolling resistance and user comfort
The rolling resistance is directly noticeable during daily use.
✓ ACVG 110 stainless steel maintains low rolling resistance
✓ Nylon wheels become stiffer
✓ Stainless steel works optimally with precision bearings
✓ Nylon is more sensitive to dirt and friction
With heavy sliding doors, the difference is immediately noticeable when opening and closing.
Wear and maintenance
In practice, we see clear differences in lifespan.
✓ Stainless steel wheels require little maintenance
✓ Nylon wheels wear out faster
✓ Stainless steel is insensitive to moisture
✓ Nylon ages due to contamination
For long-term reliability, nylon requires more frequent replacement.
Application per type of sliding door
Not every sliding door has the same requirements.
✓ Nylon suitable for light sliding doors
✓ Stainless steel suitable for heavy sliding doors
✓ Stainless steel ideal for large glass surfaces
✓ Stainless steel suitable for aluminum, plastic, and wooden sliding doors
For intensive use, we always recommend stainless steel.
