EXPLANATION OF TERMS

Basis of Load Rating

  1. Maximum permissible load for a pair of side mounted slides.
  2. Center of gravity of load centered between and at the midpoint of the drawer members.
  3. Based on 10,000 cycle dynamic tests.
  4. Includes 100% static safety factor.
  5. Load ratings are based on side mounting the slides.
  6. Undermount of the slides is not recommended and reduces load carrying capacity to about 1/4 of the side mount capacity.

Side space
The amount of room necessary between the drawer side and the cabinet or the chassis and the rack. The side space dimension is critical for optimal smooth movement. Special brackets are available to reduce the side space required in an electronics rack with model 305A-LR. These brackets allow a portion of the slide to be mounted behind the vertical rail.

Travel (Extension)

3/4 Extension
     Drawer opens partially, approximately 3/4 of the total slide length.
Full Extension
Drawer opens the same amount as the slide length.
Over Travel
Drawer opens further than the length of the slide. This allows the drawer to pull completely out of the cabinet providing access to the entire drawer.

Disconnect
Allows the drawer or chassis to be removed from the case or rack. A lever or latch must be actuated before the drawer can be removed from the cabinet.

Detent
Holds the slide open or closed until extra force is applied to overcome the detent.

Locks
Secures the slide in position. A lever or latch must be actuated to move the slide. A lock-out feature assists servicing components without removing the unit from the enclosure. A lock-in feature prevents drawers from opening until a latch is actuated.

Optional Bracket Mounting
Optional brackets are available to make it easier to mount slides in an electronics rack or enclosure. Please refer to rack mounting accessories.

Hardware
Refer to individual product data sheets for recommended screw sizes.
