OverviewPartial-extension heavy-duty drawer slides (SDP Series) are telescoping steel rail assemblies with an internal slider, precision ball cage, and hardened external rails. The partial-extension design allows the load-bearing platform to extend only part of the rail length while maintaining support inside the cabinet or frame for compactness and stability. PBC Linear’s SDP Series serves as a standalone partial-extension slide and as a modular element for rear-mount, face-mount, and side-by-side configurations.
Key advantages- Partial-extension motion for guided travel where full extension is unnecessary
- Compact footprint for simplified integration into machine frames and equipment
- Hardened steel construction with corrosion-resistant finish
- Precision ball guidance for smooth, repeatable performance under load
Applications- Machine trays, tool compartments and equipment drawers
- Service panels and machine access doors
- Automation systems, industrial storage and racking
- Lightweight mobile equipment and rack-mounted enclosures requiring limited travel
