I. Understanding the "joint" of Windows - Window Pulleys

When we open the window every day to welcome the first ray of sunlight in the morning or close it to block out the outside noise, we seldom notice the small component that makes all this easy and effortless - the window pulley. This precise device hidden within the window frame track is actually the "joint" of the window system, bearing the weight of the entire window sash and ensuring its smooth movement.


Although window pulleys are small, they affect many aspects of our daily life. A high-quality pulley system enables window sashes weighing tens of kilograms to be easily pushed and pulled with one hand. A good pulley moves almost silently, while a poor one makes a shrill friction sound. More importantly, the precise and smooth pulleys can ensure the sealing performance when the Windows are tightly closed, which directly affects the sound insulation, heat preservation effect and energy consumption inside the room.



Modern window pulleys are not merely simple wheels rolling on tracks; they are precise systems that integrate materials science, mechanical engineering and ergonomics. From the bearing structure to the wheel surface material, from the installation method to the load-bearing design, every detail determines the final user experience.

II. How to Choose the "Perfect Joint" of a Window

In fact, by considering the following key dimensions, one can make a wise choice:


Load-bearing capacity is the foundation. The weight of window sashes of different sizes and materials varies greatly. Ordinary plastic-steel Windows weigh about 15 to 25 kilograms each, while large thermal break aluminum Windows may weigh as much as 40 to 60 kilograms. When choosing pulleys, the load-bearing capacity of a single pulley should be at least 1.5 times the weight of the window sash.


The material of the wheel surface determines the smoothness and durability. Common materials for pulleys include ordinary plastic, nylon, polyurethane and metal edge wrapping, etc. Among them, high-density polyurethane material performs most evenly in terms of wear resistance, noise reduction and smoothness.


The bearing system is a core technology. Bearings determine the smoothness of the pulley's rotation and its service life. Ordinary pulleys mostly use simple bushings, which are prone to rust and jamming. Mid-range products adopt ball bearings.


The installation adaptation and adjustment functions cannot be ignored. Different window types require different installation methods and height adjustment ranges. Degol offers a variety of wheel diameters ranging from 8mm to 22mm, and is equipped with precision fine-tuning screws that can achieve a height adjustment of ± 3mm, perfectly adapting to various track conditions and ensuring that the window sash is always in the best suspension state.


Environmental adaptability is the touchstone of quality. High-quality pulleys should be able to withstand temperature variations ranging from -30℃ to 80℃ and maintain stable performance in harsh environments such as damp and dusty conditions. The Degol pulley has passed a 200-hour salt spray test and 10,000 low-temperature cycle tests, ensuring stable operation regardless of extreme cold or heat, coastal or inland conditions.


III. Degol Window Pulleys: With meticulous craftsmanship, they safeguard every smooth opening and closing

Having been deeply engaged in the field of door and window hardware for two decades, Degol has taken the seemingly simple component of window pulleys to the extreme.


A smooth experience comes from scientific computing and precision processing. Each set of Degol pulleys has been optimized through computer simulation. The wheel surface adopts a unique arc design, reducing the contact area with the track by 30% and the friction force by 45%, yet it can evenly distribute the pressure and prevent track wear. In actual tests, for Windows equipped with Degol pulleys, the push-pull force was always maintained within the range of 2 to 5 Newtons, making it easy for even the elderly and children to operate.


Silent design, integrated into every peaceful moment of life. Degol innovatively added a high-molecular buffer pad layer between the bearing and the wheel body, effectively absorbing vibration and noise. Laboratory data shows that at the same sliding pulley, the noise generated by Degol pulleys is 12 decibels lower than the industry average, almost achieving a "whispering" level of silence, ensuring that opening Windows at night no longer disturbs family sleep.


Durable commitment, quality that stands the test of time. We adopt the "four-layer protection" process: anti-wear coating on the wheel surface, fully sealed bearing structure, anti-rust electroplating of the bracket, and anti-loosening treatment of the screws. Each batch of products undergoes sampling destructive testing - after continuous pushing and pulling 100,000 times, the resistance increase of Degol pulleys does not exceed 8%, and the performance degradation rate is far lower than the industry standard of 20%.


Smart details make installation and maintenance simpler. The Degol pulley adopts a quick-installation design, and most window types can be replaced without disassembling the window sash. All adjustment interfaces use standardized tools, avoiding error during installation. The package comes with detailed multilingual installation guides and QR code video tutorials, making DIY possible.


Safety redundancy provides double protection for families. In addition to the main load-bearing wheels, Degol has also designed auxiliary anti-roll wheels and emergency positioning devices. Even if the main wheel fails in extreme circumstances, the window sash will not suddenly fall, leaving a safe time window for maintenance. This dedication to security reflects Degol's brand philosophy of "putting user safety first".


Choosing Degol window pulleys is not merely about selecting a set of hardware accessories, but also about choosing a leisurely pace of life and a serious attitude towards home details. Let's open up a lighter, quieter and safer life experience for you with our exquisitely crafted "window joints".
