These US Futaba 22 inch side-mount ball-bearing slides combine over-travel extension with soft-close damping at a 100 lb per pair rating, making them a practical pick for shop, utility, and commercial drawers where the drawer back needs to clear countertop overhangs or deep face frames and a controlled, quiet close is expected. Sold as a box of 10 pairs.
The practical case for over-travel is straightforward: when a drawer sits behind a deep face frame or beneath a countertop overhang, a full-extension slide brings the drawer to the cabinet face but leaves the very back still tucked under the ledge. Over-travel pushes the drawer member past that point so the rear of the box clears the obstruction completely. That matters for tool drawers under a bench, utility drawers in a built-in workstation, or any cabinet where the opening is partially shadowed by framing or a countertop lip. The soft-close on these slides adds a layer of control that is especially welcome in shop environments — a loaded drawer at 80 or 90 lb does not need to slam home at the end of every shift.
The members are formed steel with a zinc finish, the standard corrosion-resistant treatment for ball-bearing slides in indoor applications. Ball bearings run in full-length raceways between the cabinet and drawer members, keeping travel smooth and precise even as loads approach the rated capacity. The non-handed construction means there is no left or right version to track during a multi-drawer install — every slide in the box of 10 pairs works on either side.
At 22 inches and 100 lb per pair with over-travel and soft-close, this slide fits squarely between a standard kitchen ball-bearing slide and a dedicated heavy-duty file slide. Woodworking shops building workbench drawers, cabinet makers fitting utility storage into a built-in, and commercial millwork installers handling moderate-load drawers under worktops will find this combination of length, travel class, and motion feature a natural fit. The 10-pair box format suits a production run or a multi-drawer cabinet install without the friction of ordering pairs one at a time.
Per pair — that is the standard basis for drawer slide load ratings. One pair of these slides, one on each side of the drawer, carries up to 100 lb.
The over-travel distance for the NJ-31733 series is not stated in the available product data. Confirm the exact over-travel dimension against the US Futaba spec sheet before sizing the cabinet opening.
Side clearance for this series is not specified in the available data. Standard side-mount ball-bearing slides typically need 1/2 inch per side, but confirm against the US Futaba spec sheet before building the drawer box.
Screw inclusion is not confirmed in the product data. Assume screws are not included and order appropriate fasteners separately unless the packaging indicates otherwise.
Side-mount slides can be used in both face-frame and frameless cabinets. In a face-frame cabinet, the rear of the slide may require a rear mounting bracket to provide back support — confirm whether a bracket is needed based on your cabinet depth and face-frame setback.
Ten pairs in a box, over-travel for the drawers that need it, and soft-close for the ones that deserve it — these 22 inch US Futaba slides cover a lot of ground in a single order.
