Push-to-Open Ball-Bearing Drawer Slide — front view

Solution program

Load Upgrade Programs

Take an existing slide to a higher load class by changing material, section or finish — documented with cycle-test records before release.

From failure to a documented fix

What goes wrong on the line, what we re-engineer, and the evidence you receive — one program, three verifiable steps.

  1. The problem

    Drawers specified for last year's load now sag and bind: the 45 mm slide carrying 60 kg of tooling pulls hard, wears noisy and starts coming back as warranty claims. And the catalogue "next size up" does not fit the cabinet section you already tool.

  2. What we change

    We re-engineer instead of swapping part numbers: recalculate the section profile for the true working load, move load-critical elements to cold-rolled steel where the drawing allows, specify the finish for the real environment, and keep the existing hole pattern wherever possible.

  3. What you get

    A slide rated for the real load with cycle-test records (50,000 cycles under rated load), an updated drawing for your ERP, and prototype sign-off before mass production.

Program overview

When an application moves to a heavier duty class, we re-engineer the section and finish rather than simply swapping a part number.

Scope

Load re-rating, material upgrade (CR to stainless where required), finish change and a fresh cycle-test report.

Deliverables

Updated drawing, prototype, cycle-test data and a release note for production.

How we build your solution

From your requirement to inspected delivery — one accountable path for every slide rail project.

  1. Requirement Review

    Send your drawing, load, travel, mounting and operating environment - we confirm feasibility within one business day.

  2. Engineering & Quotation

    Our engineers select rail type, material, finish and hole pattern, then return a documented spec and firm quote.

  3. Prototyping & Samples

    Functional samples are built for fit, motion, load and installation validation before any volume commitment.

  4. Tooling & Production

    Approved specs enter controlled batch production with in-process inspection at every station.

  5. QC & Load Testing

    Dimensional, functional and salt-spray checks; a load certificate is issued for every batch.

  6. Finish & Export

    Surface treatment, container-ready packing, pallet labelling and full shipping documents to your port.

Product lines commonly used in this program — every size can be re-engineered to your drawing.
