Description
PSG Drive-on Roller 68mm with End Cap for Sliding Gate
Drive-on roller 68mm with end cap by PSG is a steel mounting component designed for installation at the beginning of a sliding gate rail. It plays a crucial role in cantilever gate systems — stabilises the gate in closed position and ensures even distribution of its weight across the running wheels. This significantly extends the lifespan of the entire running mechanism, reducing the frequency of repairs and replacements.
The roller interacts with the drive-on bracket, allowing for smooth and trouble-free gate closing. Construction from galvanised steel guarantees high resistance to corrosion and atmospheric conditions — an ideal solution for external installations exposed to rain, snow and varying temperatures. The set includes mounting bolts, which facilitates quick installation and adaptation to the 68×68mm profile system.
Main advantages
- Extended lifespan of running wheels — the roller takes on part of the loads, reducing wear of running components
- Gate stabilisation — even weight distribution in closed position eliminates vibrations and play
- Corrosion resistance — galvanised steel protects against rust even in harsh atmospheric conditions
- Quick installation — mounting bolts included in set, compatibility with 68×68mm profile

Application and installation
The drive-on roller is mounted at the beginning of the sliding gate running rail and works in conjunction with a drive-on bracket attached to the gate. During gate closing, the roller enters the bracket, taking on part of the leaf weight and stabilising it in the final position. This is particularly important in cantilever gate systems, where proper load distribution directly affects the durability of running wheels and smooth operation of the drive. The component is inserted into the gate's bottom profile and secured with the included bolts — installation is quick and requires no specialist tools.
