TK Slide Rail Features (Steel / Aluminum)

Steel Slide Rails

Features

  • Ball Bearings produce smooth and precisive movement of slides.
  • Manufacturing in overseas with Japanese management achieves high quality slide with reasonable prices.
  • Various kinds of profile are available.
  • Provide most suitable slide to customer with different production methods by press forming or roll forming.

Finish

  • Electro zinc plate with clear.
  • Available in nickel chromate, black or yellow chromate by option.
  • Some profiles have stainless steel available.

Lubricant

  • Grease, for room temperature operation.
  • No additional grease is necessary as long as cycling of the chassis is not so frequent as to build u friction-caused heat which may affect the raceway.

Aluminum Slide Rails

Features

  • Strong aluminum alloy for extrusion realizes heavy loading.
  • Light weight. More than 1kg/pair lighter against steel slide of the same specifications.
  • Strong to load. Doesn't break against momentary static load of 2 times of load capacity.

Finish

  • Rigid Alumite.

Lubricant

  • Same as Steel Slide Rails.

Consult with us if slide shall be used under the high/low temperature, vacuum, high humidity condition.

TK Slide Rail Features

Nominal Load Rating

  • TK Slide Rail

  • Nominal load rating presumes the center of gravity (W) of the package to be centered of the chassis (A) and at the midpoint of the slide travel (T), with the slides rigidly fastened to both the cabinet and drawer and mounted vertically on edge with the 1 or 2 cycles/day in room temperature.

    The slides mounted flat in the horizontal attitude will have load capacities of some 30% of the load rating. Please consult with us the load rating. Cycle life of slides relates to load rating and depend on following factors: (a) Cycle time (b) Slide mounting width (c) Location of weight (d) Environment of usage (vibration, shock, dust, humidity)

  • TK Slide Rail

  • Suggested cycle life is less than 10,000 for nominal load rating.(Inner disconnect slides will have 5,000) Please consult with us for cycle life.Durability in the 3 member slides, increase by moving intermediate member first to reach its ball retainer to its end stops and then moving inner member next. The Sequential Motion Device will be available enabling this movement in certain models (Option). Aluminum slide rails mounted vertically do not break against momentary static loads of 2 times of load rating. Steel slide rails will proceed plastic deformation and will cause decrease of its cycle life under the use of over load.

    TK Slides will perform best when the slides mounted directly to the chassis (good design) as shown figure 3. Please mount a pair of slides keeping parallelism. The proper installation procedure for slides is; temporary tightening all mounting screws,travel the chassis three or four times, find the position of smooth movement and tighten all screws. We have pocked/tab fixing slides in certain models.

    Slide Rails for filing cabinet drawer have a 50,000 to 100,000 cycle life. But it comes under the influence of side force at the movement.Please consult with us cycle test. As inner member of disconnect type is adjusted to its outer member with high accuracy each other, connection with the different slide will influences smooth moving. Stoppers on the slides perform normal stop function during actual usage but do not perform strong shock or repeated stops.

    Movement of each member relates to retainer which holds ball bearings with 2:1 position. Lose of the shape called "ball creep" will cause heavy movement. In this case, ball creep may be solved by full extension of inner member.

Glossary of Terms

Glossary of Terms in Slide Rails

TermExplanation
2 Member Slide RailSlide constructed by outer member and Inner member.
3 Member Slide RailSlide constructed by outer member, Intermediate member and inner member.
LengthLongest slide member dimension when the slide is fully closed.
TravelThe distance when a slide is extended fully from a cabinet.
Ball RetainerThe device to keep the ball bearings in place while moving.
Access (Mounting) HoleHoles to be fixed slide to the chassis.
Rear LockDevice to lock Intermediate member at the full extension. Unlocked by placing Intermediate member into inner member.
Front/Rear TravelMechanism allows inner member to travel two way of front side and rear side.
3/4 TravelMechanism allows travel of 3/4 of its length.
Linear MotionInner member travels back and forth in outer member.
Front DisconnectThe function to remove the chassis from the slides, by detaching the inner member at the front.
(1) One-way LockWith an unlock plate. Drawer removal is achieved by releasing an unlock plate and pulling the drawer away from the cabinet. The lock does not keep locked condition to closing direction at the full travel position.
(2) Both-way LockWith an unlock plate. Drawer removal is achieved by releasing an unlock plate and pulling the drawer away from the cabinet. The lock keeps locked condition to closing direction at the full travel position. Lock will be released by an unlock plate.
(3) Friction StopWithout an unlock plate. The lock does not keep locked condition to pushing direction at the full travel position. Disconnect is achieved by pulling the drawer through the resistance of the bearings. No lock mechanism is provided.
BumperBumper devices eliminate metal noise at the full extension and closed position.
Catch MechanismThis mechanism allows to hold a drawer at closed position.
Lead in BarThis device guides inner member to insert.
Retainer BrakeThis device locks ball retainer at the insertion of disconnected inner member.
Sequential MotionTo control moving Intermediate member first to reach its ball retainer to its end stops and Mechanism then moving inner member next. This mechanism allow to reduce fatigue of slides.

Spetial Terms in Aluminum Rails

TermExplanation
Alumite TreatmentAluminum anodized film treatment enable to improve corrosion and abrasion resistance.
E LockFixing Lock. The lock keeps locked condition to closing direction at the full travel position. Lock will be released by a bar type releaser.
C LockFixing Lock. The lock keeps locked condition to closing direction at the full travel position. Lock will be released by a button type releaser.
