Preferably, all door leaf elements 400a, 400b, 400c, 400d include identical roller carriages 500. Preferably, a door leaf element 400a, 400b, 400c, 400d is guided in the running rail 300 by means of at least two, preferred exactly two roller carriages 500.
The roller carriage 500 of
The running rollers 525a, 525b, 525c, 525d, which are configured to be identical, present respectively one roller body 527 with a running surface 528, wherein the roller bodies 527 roll on two running surfaces 302a, 302b of the running rail 300.

The roller body 527 has a modulus of elasticity at 20° C. of 2 kN/mm2 to 4 kN/mm2, preferred approximately 3 kN/mm2, according to ISO 527-1/-2, a shear modulus at 20° C. of 0.5 kN/mm2 to 1 kN/mm2, preferred approximately 0.8 kN/mm2, according to DIN ISO 1827:2010-07, and a density at 20° C. of 1 g/cm3 to 2 g/cm3, preferred approximately 1.4 g/cm3, according to DIN EN ISO 1183. Furthermore, the roller surface 528 of the roller body 527 has a surface roughness Ra of 0.01 μm to 3 μm, preferred of 0.05 μm to 2 μm, according to DIN EN ISO 4287.

Furthermore, the roller body 527 has a water absorption of 0.3% at standard atmosphere according to ISO 62. The water absorption at standard atmosphere indicates the weight increase in percentage of a body by absorbing water when stored at a temperature of 23° C. and a humidity of 50%. According to the disclosure, the water absorption of the roller body at standard atmosphere is kept low. High water absorption results in a high flattening out of the roller body 527, whereby noise is caused when the roller body 527 of the running roller 525 rolls on the running surface 529 of the ceiling guide 200.
Furthermore, the roller body 527 has water absorption of 1.4% at storage in water according to ISO 62. The water absorption at storage in water indicates the weight increase in percentage of a body by water absorption, when stored in water. The roller body 527 of a running roller 525 is configured such that its water absorption is kept very low, when stored in water. Thus, flattening out of the roller body 527, e.g. in a sliding wall system 100, which is disposed in an external room, is reduced. Thereby, low-noise operation under different weather conditions can be ensured.
Furthermore, the roller body 527 has a flattening of less than 0.7% with regard to the diameter of the roller body 527 after 8 hours of downtime of the roller body 527. The low admissible flattening of the roller bodies 527 considerably increases the running smoothness of the inventive sliding wall system 100. The flattening of a roller body 527 is measured in that a test load of 200 N is applied in vertical direction to the roller body 527, which is disposed on a surface. Particularly preferred, the roller body 527 with a diameter of 18.5 mm has a maximum flattening of 0.12 mm after 8 hours of downtime.
The running surfaces 529 of the ceiling guide 200 have a modulus of elasticity at 20° C. of 60 kN/mm2 to 80 kN/mm2, preferred approximately 70 kN/mm2, according to EN ISO 6892-2:2009, a shear modulus at 20° C. of 10 kN/mm2 to 40 kN/mm2, preferred approximately 27 kN/mm2, according to DIN 53445, and a density at 20° C. of 2 g/cm3 to 5 g/cm3, preferred approximately 3 g/cm3, according to ISO 527-1/-2. Furthermore, the running surfaces 529 have a surface roughness Ra of 0.05 to 1.0 μm, preferred approximately 0.5 μm, measured according to DIN EN ISO 4287.
The running surface 302 have respective internal surface creasings, essentially parallel to the displacement direction V of the door leaf element 400. An internal surface creasing is understood to be an essentially linear surface structure comprising a plurality of parallel linearly-shaped depressions in the running surface 302, which are produced by the extrusion process. Furthermore, the running surfaces 302 of the ceiling guide 200 are configured in one piece with the ceiling guide 200. Thus, a very compact structure is possible. Furthermore, potential mounting errors, such as oblique positions are eliminated, whereby noise could be caused, when the door leaf elements 400 roll in the ceiling guide 200. The ceiling guide 200 has a density of 2 to 5 g/cm3, preferred approximately 3 g/cm3, according to ISO 527-1/-2. The running surfaces 302 of the ceiling guide 200 include each one running surface width, which is larger than the roller surface width of the roller surfaces 528 of the roller bodies 527.
Each of the roller bodies 527 is supported at the roller carriage 500 in particular by means of an enclosed ball bearing. The roller body 527 includes an axis with two knurlings, by means of which the roller body 527 is torque-proof attached to the basic body 524 of the roller carriage 500.
The axis also serves as an inner ring of the ball bearing. The ball bearing has seven balls, which are greased with lithium soap grease.
Furthermore, the static surface pressure between a running roller 525 and the running surface 529 of the ceiling guide 200 amounts to at least 2.5 kg/mm2, preferred between 2.5 and 100 kg/mm2. This results in eliminating any squeaking noise when displacing the door leaf elements 400.
The average displacement speed of the roller carriage 500 ranges between 0.05 and 0.5 m/s, preferred approximately 0.2 m/s.
Furthermore, the start-up torque of a door leaf element 400, which is disposed to be displaceable in the ceiling guide 200, such as the door leaf element 400a, 400b and/or 400c, 400d of
The inventive roller carriage 500 as well as the inventive running surfaces 529 of the ceiling guide 200 allow for a noise-reduced movement of the sliding wall system 100. The abrasion of the roller bodies 527 is reduced and thereby the service life of the roller carriage 500 is considerably increased.
