The Sugatsune ESR-DC series is a 16 inch full-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slide finished in stainless steel and rated 104 lb per pair. Where standard zinc-finished slides are not the right call — commercial kitchens, food-prep spaces, washdown areas, medical casework, and outdoor-adjacent installations — this slide brings the load capacity and smooth travel of a quality ball bearing design in a material that holds up to moisture and harsh cleaning agents.
The stainless finish is the defining selection reason here. In a standard dry kitchen or office installation, a zinc slide does the job well. But in a commercial galley, a restaurant prep station, a laboratory, or any space where drawers get wiped down with aggressive cleaners or exposed to regular moisture, a zinc finish is not the right spec. The ESR-DC series addresses that directly. The hold-in anti-rebound detent is also well suited to environments where drawers see heavy daily traffic and need to stay shut between uses — a bounced-open drawer in a commercial kitchen is a hazard, not just an annoyance. Full extension means nothing stays hidden at the back of the drawer, which matters when the drawer carries tools, supplies, or ingredients that need to be found quickly.
The slide members are stainless steel throughout. This is not a zinc slide with a stainless appearance coating — the material itself is stainless, which is why it is the right call for washdown service and humid environments. The ball bearings run in full-length steel raceways for smooth, even travel. The 1/2 inch side clearance per side is the standard for this segment, keeping the ESR-DC compatible with drawer boxes sized to the common cabinet-shop formula. For indoor dry applications the zinc finish is the more economical path; the stainless ESR-DC is the correct specification when the environment demands it.
Cabinet shops fitting commercial kitchens, food-service operators, lab and medical fixture builders, and contractors installing cabinetry in high-moisture spaces will find the ESR-DC series where they need it: a non-handed, full-extension, 104 lb rated stainless slide they can specify with confidence. Homeowners renovating a boat galley, a mudroom, or an outdoor kitchen enclosure reach for the same product for the same reason. The non-handed design simplifies ordering — one SKU covers both sides of every drawer in the project.
No. The ESR-DC series uses a hold-in anti-rebound detent that keeps the drawer shut once closed. There is no damper and no self-closing spring — the drawer stays wherever it is positioned until pulled or pushed.
The slide requires 1/2 inch of side clearance per side. Build the drawer box 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening to leave the correct gap on each side.
No. The ESR-DC is non-handed — both slides in the pair are identical, so one SKU covers both sides of the drawer.
Full extension means the drawer member travels approximately the full slide length, bringing the entire drawer out to the cabinet face. The 16 inch figure is the closed slide length, not a separate travel measurement — on a full-extension slide the two are closely matched.
The slide can be installed in face-frame cabinets, but face-frame construction moves the cabinet side back from the face, which means the back end of the slide needs support. Add rear mounting brackets sized to this series — sold separately — to complete the installation properly.
The SAP description indicates this slide is priced per pair. Confirm quantity at checkout; rear mounting brackets for face-frame installations are separate.
When the environment rules out zinc, the Sugatsune ESR-DC delivers full-extension ball bearing performance in stainless steel — non-handed, rated at 104 lb per pair, and built to stay closed with its hold-in detent.
