OverviewFace-mount drawer slides are telescoping linear rail assemblies supported from a front mounting surface and built around a ball-cage slide mechanism for smooth extension and retraction. In a face-mount configuration the rail sections are arranged face-to-face, creating a more enclosed profile around the ball cage and rolling elements to help shield them from dust, debris, wood chips and other light contamination. The SDF heavy-duty drawer slide series uses hardened steel SDP rail sections in this face-to-face arrangement for guided full-extension travel in industrial applications.
