PowerCore™ track rollers and trolley systems overcome the performance challenges common of quietly, and smoothly moving heavy doors of motion components in your next spatial experience.
Using iNTECH’s hybrid roller design, which includes a specially formulated self-lubricating composite bearing surface, our track rollers, track and trolley systems and other motion components ensure long, trouble-free operation in architectural systems. In fact, in one application, our track rollers successfully let users slide a 1,280-pound glass door with only one finger, while maintaining its roundness for the life of the application. You can find our components at use in hotels, storefronts, mall security doors, commercial office doors, railway and subway platform doors, sliding wall systems, clean room enclosures and many more.
Choosing the wrong components for sliding door track rollers create a bumpy, distracting experience for guests and tenants in your space. Our PowerCore track rollers’ unique characteristics overcome the challenges common to metal or traditional plastic rollers:
Finding the right material for your architectural application can be a challenge. Metal track rollers need to be lubricated, are noisy and easily wear out aluminum rails, while plastic components can develop flats under prolonged static loads. PowerCore outperforms other materials in a number of ways:
Our PowerCore components come standardized for common applications, or our engineers can work with you to develop a custom solution designed to handle heavy loads, unusual mechanical constraints or other challenging requirements.
“Intech was very supportive on the front end of the design. They helped with the design of the components, which a semi-custom design based on their iCam® Followers. Intech knows the material specifications and their own manufacturing capabilities and worked closely with us to create the right part for the application”

“Intech’s PowerCore pinions and cam followers took care of two of the major problems with our rack and pinion system at once: the PowerCore components virtually eliminated the problem of friction, which was a defining factor in the reduction of noise in the system, reducing it by half, their ability to customize to our needs was essential, we had the design finished in less than 24 hours.”

“The reason the Intech roller was implemented was because it provided a very smooth rolling surface, and offers lubrication-free operation, which is necessary in such a clean environment. More importantly, though, is the roller’s aversion to taking a compression set. Further, through life testing the roller was found not to show wear for extend life cycles.”
