Slide Applications
The main purpose of slides is to facilitate the movement of various objects and systems that we come across on a daily basis. There are several aspects that distinguish the type of slide to use such as size, width, etc., but in this article we will show you the three main types of slide applications based on the load they support.
Light-Duty
The most common type of slide application is undoubtedly for light loads that can support up to 50 kg, and these are mostly found in homes or commercial establishments. Any drawer, no matter how simple, needs a slide to open and close. See some examples below:
The Model 3832E is a classic drawer slide that fits a wide range of uses, such as pull-out shelves, kitchen utensil drawers, and point-of-sale tlays.
- It supports loads of up to 45 kg;
- For drawers up to 24 "wide.
Medium-Duty
Applied mainly in household, industrial, and office environments, these runners are able to support loads from 51 kg to 99 kg. They are easy to close and open, have wide dimensions and a progressive and continuous movement. See some application examples:
A non-disconnecting solution for increased safety in high production and highly technical environments, the model 3301 also includes the choice of a retention retainer to prevent roll-out and roll-back of the drawer, as well as an additional kit for electronic cabinet and chassis mounting.
