Precautions for using ball guide rails

Ball Bearing Drawer Slides are a common slide system used for opening and closing furniture, drawers and other items. When using them, you need to pay attention to the following matters to ensure their normal operation and extend their service life:


1. Correct installation: Make sure that the ball bearing slide is correctly installed on the furniture or drawer according to the manufacturer's instructions, and ensure that the installation is flat and firm.


2. Load-bearing range: Understand the load-bearing range of the ball bearing slide and avoid overloading to avoid affecting the stability and life of the slide.


3. Keep clean: Clean the ball bearing slide regularly to avoid the accumulation of dust, dirt and other debris that affect the sliding and normal operation of the ball.


4. Lubrication maintenance: Regularly add an appropriate amount of lubricating oil or grease to the ball bearing slide to keep the ball bearing sliding smoothly and reduce friction and wear.


5. Avoid strong squeezing: Avoid using excessive force to forcibly close drawers or furniture to avoid damaging the ball bearing slide.


6. Use gently: Be gentle and stable when pushing and pulling drawers or furniture, and avoid sudden pulling and pushing to avoid damaging the ball bearing slide.

7. Avoid foreign objects: Make sure the environment around the ball slide is clean to prevent foreign objects from entering the ball slide and affecting the sliding.

8. Regular inspection: Check the status of the ball slide regularly. If any abnormality is found, repair or replace it in time to ensure the normal operation of the slide.

9. Pay attention to temperature and humidity: Avoid long-term exposure to high temperature and humidity to avoid affecting the performance and life of the ball slide.

10. Pay attention to load balance: When using drawers or furniture, pay attention to load balance to avoid excessive weight on one side causing uneven force on the ball slide.

11. Avoid vibration and impact: Avoid severe vibration or impact to avoid damaging the structure and sliding performance of the ball slide.


Following these precautions can help you properly maintain and use the ball slide, extend its service life and ensure its normal operation.
