Awning track accessories, affecting the key experience
In 2024, electric awnings have become a popular choice for many homes and business venues. Not only can it effectively block out the sun, but it can also add a cozy atmosphere to the space. However, it's easy to overlook a key part -- the retractable track fittings. These main components of the awning, in fact, play a decisive role in the use of the electric awning experience.
The track material is the basic factor that affects the use experience. The aluminum alloy track provides a strong guarantee for the stable operation of the awning by virtue of its light weight, high strength and excellent corrosion resistance. Its characteristics of not easy to deform, so that the awning in the long-term use of the process, the expansion is still smooth. The stainless steel track is known for its excellent anti-rust performance, which is especially suitable for use in harsh environments such as wet or coastal. The smooth surface of the high- quality stainless steel track can greatly reduce the friction when the awning expands and expands, avoid scratching the fabric, and extend the service life of the awning. However, if the material is not good, the aluminum alloy track may be bent due to insufficient strength, and the stainless steel track may be run because of the rough surface, so the awning manufacturer's precision machining ability is very important. DUOCAI Tents has been manufacturing awnings for more than 20 years and has the ability to process aluminum alloy with high precision, and our retractable awnings are of reliable quality.
Pulley and slider as a direct impact on the smoothness of the telescopic accessories, the material and design of the pulley is crucial. Plastic pulley has low cost and low noise, but poor wear resistance, weak carrying capacity, poor quality plastic pulley is easy to wear deformation, and even break. Metal pulley strength is high, wear-resistant, suitable for large awnings, can run noise, and improper surface treatment easy to rust. The diameter and width of the pulley determine the telescopic force and stability. The large diameter pulley can reduce the friction force, and the appropriate width can increase the contact area and prevent shaking. The shape and structure of the slide block should be perfectly matched to the track, and the special seal design can also keep the track clean and improve the scalability. In addition, we need to maintain the track regularly with some lubricants, automotive lubricants will be fine, but most other lubricants will also work.
Installing accessories, while seemingly trivial, is about the overall stability and safety of the awning. If the installation bracket is not firm, the awning in the telescopic or external force, the track is easy to loose deformation, endangering the safety of use. Screws, nuts and other connector quality is not good, there will be slither, loose phenomenon, resulting in fittings are not firmly connected, affecting the normal use.
Although the telescopic track accessories of the electric awning are small, they affect the use experience in all aspects from the material, shape and structure, roller slider to the installation accessories. When selecting and installing electric awnings, be sure to pay attention to the quality and performance of these accessories.
