The Sugatsune ESR-DC series delivers a 26 inch full-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slide in solid stainless steel, rated 90 lb per pair, with a hold-in anti-rebound detent that keeps the drawer firmly shut. Where a zinc-finished slide would be the wrong material choice — wet kitchens, outdoor bars, food-prep stations, marine cabinetry, or commercial applications where sanitation and corrosion resistance matter — this slide stays the course.
A standard zinc-finished slide handles most dry cabinet work, but stainless steel is the correct material call when the environment fights back. Outdoor kitchens and covered bar builds see humidity and rain splash. Commercial food-prep counters face daily washdown cycles. Boat galleys and marine cabinets live in salt air. Lab and medical casework demands a surface that cleans without corroding. In each of these settings, a zinc slide degrades; the stainless ESR-DC series is built for them. The hold-in anti-rebound detent is a practical bonus in the same environments: a drawer that bounces open in a moving boat or beside a busy kitchen pass is a hazard, and the detent eliminates that rebound.
The ESR-DC slides are formed from stainless steel throughout — not a zinc-plated slide with a stainless label or a coated substitute. Steel ball bearings run in full-length raceways between the members for smooth, consistent travel under load. The stainless finish is a functional material choice, not a decorative one; it withstands wet exposure and cleaning agents that would strip or corrode a conventional slide. For indoor dry applications, a zinc or anochrome slide in the same length and load class is a more economical path; choose stainless when the environment demands it.
This slide suits professionals and installers who are building or specifying cabinetry in conditions beyond the typical kitchen cabinet: marine fabricators, commercial kitchen contractors, outdoor living contractors, and lab furniture shops. At 26 inches, the slide length fits standard deep-base cabinet drawers, and the 90 lb per pair rating covers the realistic load range for most food-prep, utility, and storage drawers. The non-handed format keeps the install straightforward — one part number covers both sides of the drawer, which matters on a commercial job with many drawers to hang. The 1/2 inch side clearance requirement is standard: build the drawer box 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening. In face-frame cabinet construction, add rear mounting brackets at the back of the slide for proper support; brackets are sold separately and are series-specific.
No. The hold-in anti-rebound detent keeps the drawer closed against bounce-back, but there is no damper. The drawer does not slow as it closes — it rides freely and the detent holds it shut once closed.
The product name references 304SS, which is a standard austenitic stainless grade used widely in food-service and marine hardware for its corrosion resistance. Confirm the grade with Sugatsune's product documentation for specification-critical projects.
No. The design is non-handed — both slides in a pair are identical. Order one pair per drawer.
The disconnect method for this series is not specified in the available product data. Contact Sugatsune or refer to the ESR-DC installation sheet for drawer-removal instructions before specifying in high-maintenance environments.
Yes, with the appropriate rear mounting brackets. Side-mount ball bearing slides need support at the back end in face-frame construction. Rear brackets are sold separately and must match the ESR-DC series.
Stainless steel costs more than zinc, and it earns that premium in environments where standard hardware would corrode, stain, or fail. Specify this slide when the installation calls for it, and the drawer will still open and close cleanly years into a demanding service life.
