Drawler Slides

Across industry, slides, glides and runners are used in everything from heavy duty transport systems for moving large loads to delicate moving parts in machinery. At Sugatsune, we make components to serve every purpose.

Compared to other motion-enabling components such as hinges, slides and runners are particularly susceptible to wear and tear. Movement is across relatively large distances, and if you think about a fully laden open drawer at the end of its run, the downward force is considerable.

This is where Sugatsune’s precision engineering heritage comes into its own. With equal attention paid to mechanical science, design, build quality and material choice, we take care of the smallest details to ensure every slide we manufacture runs sumptuously smooth over tens of thousands of cycles, even in the toughest conditions. Exactly the kind of reliability and longevity you need in industry.

We supply slides in a choice of full and ¾ extension. It’s a choice between carriage distance and load size – full extension slides provide better access by running the full length of the rails, but three quarter slides can take larger loads. Our longest slides are 700mm in total, with full extension products running all that way, three quarter slides stopping at 508mm.

All of our slides come with a disconnecting lever which makes it easy to remove the drawer (or any type of unit) from the rails. Most standard products feature positive stop and hold-in detent mechanisms which hold the drawer in the closed position until opened.
