Bearings for aluminum and PVC sliding doors
Since 1977, Manufacturas Mendavia has been designing and manufacturing bearings for sliding doors and windows.
Today, extruders and manufacturers of various product ranges from different countries trust us for their sliding solutions, both for current and future projects. We continue to innovate with a combination of design and technology that allows us to maintain an optimal position in the market.
Our product range has expanded significantly, including straight-cut, perimeter, thermal break, aluminum-wood, and PVC series.
Always attentive to our clients’ needs, at Manufacturas Mendavia we provide customized solutions and prototypes with short delivery times. Since 2023, Manufacturas Mendavia has been part of the Anudal Group, a leading company in the design and manufacturing of assembly systems and corner joints for aluminum joinery.
Our history
What sets us apart?
-
Adaptability
We design the bearing solution to adapt to your aluminum or PVC profile.
-
Customization
We understand the importance of differentiating yourself in the market with your own brand, which is why we help you showcase your brand on our product, always guaranteed with Mendavia Quality.
-
High-quality components
We carefully select our suppliers to ensure compliance with our standards. Local suppliers for materials ensure good service and production control. For needle bearings, we rely on the renowned expertise of Schaeffler.
-
Adaptable production batches
Adaptable production batches according to the client’s needs and project requirements.
-
Suitable for marine environments (corrosion-resistant)
Our bearings have been tested in a salt fog chamber, ensuring optimal properties to remain in saline areas without risking the alteration of the product’s characteristics.
-
Load testing
In-house testing bench for verifying bearing loads with the client’s profile.
Bearings
Resolve your doubts
-
The main difference lies in the load capacity. Bearings for sliding doors are usually more robust and designed for greater weight and continuous use, while those for windows prioritize smoothness and precision.
-
Yes. We manufacture custom bearings for aluminum joinery systems, adapting to the profile design, required load, and usage conditions.
-
Our bearings are designed for long-term use with minimal maintenance, but it is recommended to periodically clean the guides and check for any accumulation of debris that could hinder smooth sliding.
-
It is essential to consider the weight of the door panel, the type of profile, the frequency of use, and the environment (indoor, outdoor, or coastline). Our technical team can help you select the most suitable bearing for your project.
-
Yes. We manufacture custom bearings for all types of aluminum or PVC profiles. We adapt to the specifications of each sliding joinery system.
-
We recommend using bearings from our E and ER series. Although they include parts in zamak, these are treated with white zinc plating + sealing of 8 microns, which improves resistance to saline environments. The salt fog tests conducted by Ensatec were successfully passed without issues.
-
Yes. We have testing benches to test aluminum bearings subjected to loads in different opening and closing cycles. The tests are conducted according to the UNE-EN 13126-15:2019 standard.
-
Depending on the use and weight of the aluminum joinery (sliding window or door), we mount needle bushings or ball bearings, in all their versions.
-
The weight supported depends on the type of bushing and the bearing housing. We have conducted tests with loads of up to 240 kg on bearings for aluminum sliding doors and large windows.
-
For aluminum sliding window profiles or systems with thermal break (RPT), thermoplastic wheels or zamak wheels with thermoplastic covers are commonly used. We also offer injected zamak bearings, which, thanks to their design, do not compromise the thermal break.
