  • Publication number: 20230243197
    Abstract: A roller, in particular for a sliding door of a vehicle, includes a main part having a running surface pointing radially outward. The running surface can be coupled to a guide rail of a sliding door. The roller also includes a central bore, penetrating the main part at least in part, for receiving a bearing arrangement for rotatable mounting of the main part. A roller which is cost-effective to manufacture and is additionally durable is created in that at least the running surface consists of a radiation-crosslinked plastic having a gel value in formic acid between 20% and 60%.
