Key Specifications

• Product Name: GEZE ECdrive Carriage / Load Wheel — professional replacement running wheel for GEZE ECdrive linear sliding door systems .

• Common OEM Reference: geze 117380 (roller with bearing); trade listings sometimes cross-reference 160341 for the same wheel context.

• System Compatibility: Designed for ECdrive (and commonly applied on ECdrive-FR). For ECdrive T2, the operator uses a double-roller carriage concept—verify your installed carriage before ordering wheels.

• Construction: Low-noise polymer tread over a ball-bearing hub for quiet, low-friction travel and reduced track wear .

• Per-door Quantities (typical): One moving leaf rides on two load wheels inside a carriage; bi-parting entrances use two carriages (four wheels total). Many service programs replace wheels in pairs or swap a complete carriage if the axle or body shows wear.

• System Performance Context: Original ECdrive platforms commonly support up to 120 kg per leaf; ECdrive T2 increases capacity to 140 kg per leaf in a 100-mm header, with pre-drilled tracks and integrated cable routing improving serviceability.

• Use Cases: Professional stocking item for Geze wheels / Geze roller maintenance across retail, healthcare, transport, hospitality, and corporate facilities.

• Related Store Items: ECdrive ECLT carriage assemblies (wheel + carrier), anti-riser wheels, return pulleys, belts, and program switches—available as complementary record of stock parts in many service depots.

FAQ

Q1. Is this the correct “ECdrive wheel” for my door?
A. If your header label reads ECdrive (or ECdrive-FR) and your carrier matches the ECdrive trolley geometry, this Geze roller specification is appropriate. For ECdrive T2, confirm the carriage style first because T2 uses a double-roller carriage.

Q2. How many “Geze wheels” should I buy per entrance?
A. A single moving leaf typically uses two wheels (one carriage). A bi-parting doorway uses four wheels across two carriages. Technicians usually replace in pairs to keep rolling resistance balanced and noise low.

Q3. I see geze 117380 and sometimes 160341 online—what’s the difference?
A. Industry listings commonly cite 117380 for the roller with bearing used on ECdrive; 160341 appears in the same supply context. Always confirm by visual match to the wheel and the carriage you have installed.

Q4. Will new wheels change the door’s certified weight rating?
A. No. Ratings are set by the operator and profile system. As context, ECdrive is documented around 120 kg/leaf, while ECdrive T2 reaches 140 kg/leaf with its revised carriage and profiles. Fresh wheels help the system meet its intended force and stopping performance.

Q5. What’s the acoustic benefit of the polymer tread vs. all-metal rollers?
A. The polymer running surface and ball-bearing hub damp vibration, lower rail chatter, and limit scuffing of the aluminum track—key to the “premium quiet” feel associated with ECdrive doors in high-traffic buildings .

Q6. Can I replace just the wheel instead of the whole carriage?
A. Yes. Wheel-only replacement is cost-effective if the axle and carrier body are intact. If you find axle wear or cracked carriers, use a complete carriage (wheel + body) for a durable fix.

Q7. Any commissioning tips after wheel replacement?
A. After swapping wheels, re-level the leaf, check belt tension and end buffers, then run the controller’s learn/optimization routine. Function-test in Automatic, Partial-Open, and Exit-Only to validate speeds, stops, and sensor timing .

Product Description

Give your GEZE entrance the factory-smooth glide it had on day one with the ECdrive Carriage / Load Wheel (geze 117380)—a precision Geze roller engineered for quiet, low-friction travel and perfect tracking. In the ECdrive architecture, these wheels carry the door’s mass on the header rail and translate motor torque into linear motion. When they’re fresh and concentric, the door starts cleanly, holds speed, and stops precisely where your controller expects—reducing nuisance reversals and improving throughput in busy lobbies .

Purpose-built for ECdrive, proven in the field

The ECdrive platform is among GEZE’s most widely installed linear systems thanks to its slim 100-mm cover height, self-diagnostics, and a self-cleaning roller carriage concept that keeps debris from building up on the running path . The wheel’s polymer tread and ball-bearing hub are the heart of that performance: lower rolling resistance means smoother acceleration ramps; damped contact with the rail means a quieter entrance—even during peak cycles. That’s why service teams treating Geze wheels as consumables can restore premium feel with one targeted maintenance action.

Clear performance envelope for modern installs

As a platform, ECdrive is commonly documented at around 120 kg per leaf, while ECdrive T2 extends the envelope to 140 kg per leaf by pairing a double-roller carriage with refined mechanicals and profile options. T2’s pre-drilled tracks and integrated cable routes also shorten install and service time—details facility managers value in live environments. Your ECdrive wheel is central to achieving those field results: keeping running friction stable and alignment true lets the controller maintain clean deceleration ramps and tidy stop positions at thresholds and locks .

Quiet by design—built for premium spaces

In retail galleries, hotels, airports, and hospitals, the doorway’s acoustic signature shapes the overall experience. The ECdrive carriage uses low-noise plastic rollers to limit “rail chatter,” preserving a calm lobby even as footfall rises. For operators overseeing multi-site portfolios, proactively refreshing Geze roller sets is a measurable way to keep entrances feeling new without a full operator swap.

Ordering guidance that prevents callbacks

• Identify your system. Check the header label for ECdrive or ECdrive-FR; photograph the carriage and wheel so part matching is unambiguous. If your site runs ECdrive T2, note the double-roller carriage requirement.

• Choose wheels-only vs. complete carriage. If the carrier body and axle are sound, wheel-only is efficient. If there’s axle play or bracket damage, a complete carriage is the better long-term fix (RTR Services, n.d.; Auto Door Trader, n.d.).

• Plan quantities smartly. A single leaf uses two wheels; bi-parting uses four. Replace in pairs per moving leaf to keep rolling resistance symmetrical and travel whisper-quiet (Auto Door Trader, n.d.).

• Stock adjacent consumables. While the header is open, inspect the drive belt, return pulley, and end buffers; renewing these together can prevent repeat visits (DoorDynamic, n.d.).

Field-tested commissioning workflow

1. Mechanical swap: De-tension the belt, remove the carriage, and press out the worn wheels. Fit the new ECdrive wheel (geze 117380 style), verifying free rotation and spacer alignment.

2. Re-level & end-stops: Re-hang the leaf, set reveals and threshold clearances, confirm buffers.

3. Controller learn: Run the self-optimization routine so stroke, speeds, and braking curves are stored correctly.

4. Functional test: Validate Automatic, Partial-Open, and Exit-Only modes; confirm sensor timing and lock alignment per your local safety practice .

Why professionals standardize on this ECdrive wheel

• System-correct geometry for ECdrive carriers avoids “near-fit” parts that chatter and wear rails.

• Low-noise tread keeps acoustic comfort high in prestige interiors and clinic corridors.

• Portfolio efficiency: Common Geze wheels across ECdrive variants simplify stocking of GEZE sliding door parts and accelerate first-time fixes.

• Predictable commissioning: With wheels back to spec, the controller’s learn routine converges quickly, delivering repeatable stop positions and reducing callbacks .

Bottom line: If your maintenance plan calls for a targeted, high-impact refresh, a new set of Geze rollers—the ECdrive wheel in geze 117380 format—restores glide, lowers noise, and keeps your ECdrive doors performing like new, often within a single service visit.
