1. Core Challenge: The Paradox of Heavy Load and Initial Resistance
In high-end hotel and luxury residential projects, 10mm or even 12mm ultra-clear glass has become standard to pursue ultimate transparency. This means the weight of a single sliding door often exceeds 80kg.
Traditional hydraulic dampers must increase spring stiffness and oil damping to absorb such huge inertial kinetic energy. This leads to a fatal side effect: excessive resistance at the moment of opening. When users pull open the shower door, they often have to overcome a huge 'initial bite force', resulting in an extremely heavy experience.
