What is Slide Rails?

It is a linear mecanish part, wich move heavy objects with minimal force.
It is commonly called a slide rail, drawer slide, ball bearing slide, etc.

Basic Structure of Slide Rails

Clouds
1

Outer Member

It is a rail part that attaches to a fixed surface such as a body. In general, it is also called a cabinet member because it is attached to a cabinet.

2

Inner Member

It is a rail part that attaches to a box or object that you want to slide, such as a drawer. It is generally attached to a drawer and is also called a drawer member.

3

Ball Retainer

It is a rail part to hold (retain) the individual balls in the correct position. It does not have the word ball, but is sometimes simply called a retainer.

4

Steel ball

It is usually built into the ball retainer. Furthermore, when the rail (inner component) is moved, the ball itself rolls, allowing the rail to move smoothly even with light force.

5

Disconnect Spring

It is a rail part to connecting outer member and inner member, or inner member and center member. Usually it is have some fungsional system as a lock.

Slide Rail Insights

Kinds of Slide Rail

Generally speaking, slide rails refer to rails with built-in ball retainers, and our slide rails are of this type.

Slide Rail Type (Structure)

Single Slide

A slide rail consisting of an outer member and an inner member. Also called a two-member slide.

Double Slide

A slide rail consisting of two single slides stacked and fixed together. It is a type of three-member slide.

Three-member Slide

A slide rail consisting of an outer member, inner member, and intermediate member.

Both Sides Slide

A rail that allows movement in both forward and backward directions. Also known as 2-way travel.

Double Slide

A type in which the inner member always moves within the outer member.

Slide Rail Material

Most slide rails are primarily made from SPCC (cold-rolled steel plate). Even for rails of the same size, plate thickness can vary depending on the manufacturer, which can result in differences in durability and price. Some manufacturers, including ours, make stainless steel slide rails, but there are not many manufacturers worldwide that have established manufacturing technology.

Steel Slide Rails

In addition to rail sizes and types, there is also a wide variety of mechanical parts, which allows for a wide range of design possibilities.

Stainless Steel slide Rail

It is ideal for places where the properties of stainless steel can be utilized, such as humid environments.

Typical Slide Rail Mechanisms

The appeal of slide rails is that they can be given various functions by adding additional parts. Here we will introduce some typical mechanisms.

Silence Mechanism

Resin is used to eliminate the impact noise of metal, and in some cases it also has impact resistance.

Sequential Mechanism

Correcting rail movement extends the expected life of the rail.

Regarding Fixing Method

Most slide rails are typically secured with screws via mounting holes, but some can be secured in a different way.

Screw-on type

There is a hole of the corresponding size.

L bracket type

It is fixed with screws, but the metal part can be removed and attached.
