Sugatsune ESR-5-16 Stainless Steel Ball Bearing Slide

Product Description

The SUGATSUNE ESR-5-16 is a heavy-duty stainless steel ball bearing slide designed for demanding drawer and panel applications where corrosion resistance and high load capacity are required. With a 16-inch slide length and 11.72-inch travel length, it delivers full-extension access to drawer contents while supporting up to 230 pounds at full extension. The satin finish on the stainless steel construction makes it suitable for food service, marine, laboratory, and industrial enclosure environments. Cabinetmakers, millworkers, and industrial equipment fabricators specify this slide when standard steel hardware is not appropriate for the environment.

This slide is used in applications that require corrosion-resistant hardware with high load ratings. Typical installations include stainless steel work tables, food preparation equipment, medical carts, marine cabinetry, and industrial control enclosures. The hold-in detent keeps the drawer closed under vibration or in mobile equipment. At 0.5 inches wide and 2.75 inches high, the ESR-5-16 fits standard drawer-side mounting configurations used in both residential and commercial cabinetry builds.

Key Features

• 230-pound load capacity at full extension for heavy-duty drawer applications
• 16-inch slide length with 11.72-inch travel length for near-full drawer access
• Stainless steel construction with satin finish for corrosion resistance
• Ball bearing glide mechanism for smooth, consistent drawer operation under load
• Hold-in detent keeps drawer closed without a separate latch in vibration-prone environments
• 0.5-inch width and 2.75-inch height fit standard side-mount drawer configurations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style side-mount ball bearing drawer slide for use in fabricated cabinetry, equipment enclosures, and drawer assemblies requiring stainless steel hardware with a 16-inch slide length.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by cabinetmakers, millworkers, or equipment fabricators using standard hand tools and a drill. Mount both slide members to the drawer box and cabinet side at equal heights to ensure level operation. Verify that the mounting surface provides sufficient material thickness to hold fastener threads under rated load. Do not exceed the 230-pound load rating, as overloading ball bearing slides can cause premature wear or failure of the bearing races.
