A roller guide, on the other hand, functions by means of rollers (wheels) over a rail and can mainly handle vertical loads. Ball bearing or with roller shoes, Chambrelan sliding rails are designed to withstand long production cycles. Therefore, when choosing drawer slides, be sure to consider the size, material and load-bearing capacity of the drawer to ensure that the load-bearing capacity of the slides matches the drawer. These high strength steel slides have been designed to work under conditions of extreme shock and vibration, particularly applications of under slung battery boxes on trains and heavy drawers on specialist vehicles.

You can prevent a hard impact when closing the drawer by ensuring that the drawer slides reach the plastic rear stops before the front of the drawer comes into contact with the cabinet. Made of the most durable materials, these robust drawer runners 1000mm are designed for extremely intensive use over a long period of time. There are heavy duty end bolts to secure the slides when stowed and solid steel pins which locate at the rear bearing within the cages to prevent the beams detaching.The DDTS-90 slide with a closed length of 600mm has a travel of 1,200mm (1,800mm overall) with a loading of 600 kg per fully extended pair. We are a trusted and approved supplier to a range of industries including Aerospace, Defence, Automotive, Train, Electronics and Machine Building. Our lighter duty slides are well suited for smaller drawers or applications where little load is applied when extended. Depending on substrate, stainless steel 'flat head' hex screws with NY-lock nuts or stainless steel rivets are recommended.

Most heavy-duty side mount drawer slides will need at least 1/2 to 17/32 inches on either side, and each drawer should be 1 to 1-1/16 inches smaller than the opening to fit.Mounting screws should be installed in designated places and they must be firmly attached to the furniture.
