Eliminate Sliding Friction

A magnetic sliding system for sliding doors that replaces wheels with magnets for smooth, low-friction movement.

The magnets support the door’s weight, creating a zero-gravity feel that makes the door easier to lift and operate.

Just 5 lbs of force smoothly moves door systems weighing up to 1,300 lbs. Engineered and tested to support units up to 3,300 lbs.

Effortless Power

Slider quantity is determined by sash weight. Magnetic levitation evenly distributes the load, allowing wide openings with slim frames.

Modularity

Easy Installation and Assembly

Special guides and connectors ensure the sliders fit smoothly and the track stays securely in place.

  • Can be used with:

    • Lift and Slide Doors

    • Sliding Doors

    • Load capacity: 110 lb

    • Overall dimensions: 7.83 × 1.77 × 1.62 in

    • Rail section diameter: 0.47 in (≈ 1/2 in)

    • Recommended operating load: For optimum performance, use the slider within a load range of 66–110 lb per slider.

    • Slider quantity calculation: The number of sliders required depends on the total weight of the window or door.

      • Formula: Number of sliders = window or door weight (lb) ÷ 110 lb
