Classification of drawer slides:


1. Roller type drawer slides This type of slides has been around for a long time. It is the first generation of silent drawer slides. At present, it has been gradually replaced by steel ball slides in a new generation of furniture. The structure of the roller slide is relatively simple. It consists of one pulley and two rails. It can meet the daily needs of pushing and pulling, but the bearing capacity is poor, and it does not have the functions of buffering and rebounding. It is commonly used in computer keyboard drawers and light drawers.


2. Steel ball drawer slides Steel ball slides are basically two-section and three-section metal rails. The most common is the structure installed on the side of the drawer, which is relatively simple to install and saves space. High-quality steel ball slide rails can ensure smooth push-pull and large bearing capacity. This type of slide rail can have the function of buffer closing or pressing rebound opening. In modern furniture, steel ball slides are gradually replacing roller slides and become the main force of modern furniture slides.


3. Gear-type horse-riding slide rails This type of slide rails include hidden slide rails, horse-riding slide rails and other types of slide rails, which are medium and high-grade slide rails. The gear structure is used to make the slide rails very smooth and synchronized. The rail also has the function of buffer closing or pressing and rebounding. It is mostly used in medium and high-end furniture. Because the price is relatively expensive and it is relatively rare in modern furniture, it is not as popular as steel ball slide rails. This kind of slide rails is the future trend.
