Ultra Low Profile Telescopic Linear Slide


Need a Really Low Profile Bottom Mount Slide?

For OEM applications needing to pull-out a drawer, heavy electronics tray, or tooling tray but have limited space for a conventional telescopic linear guide system.   We can provide you with an ultra low profile telescopic slide system that only requires about 17 mm (0.67 inches) of free space height under the drawer or tray.   Payload capacity is 270 lbs.

Ultra Low Profile Linear Slide

Below is an example of work we did for a customer needing to pull-out a tray of electronics in a semiconductor manufacturing facility.

Electronics Rack Pull-Out

In this particulate application the customer need to frequently access electronic products in a confined space.  They only had about 19 mm (0.75 inch) of available free space under the electronics for a telescopic guide system.   Nothing was readily available that could extend 628 mm (25 inches) while holding 270 lbs and fit in this space.

Problem solved with a new intermediate element and some standard catalog ASN28 series semi-telescopic linear guide components.

Approximate Physical Dimensions

Height:(bottom to top of slide)170.67
