The Sugatsune 5302 series is a 16 inch full-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slide rated 218 lb per pair, built from stainless steel with a zinc finish for long-lasting indoor performance in demanding shop, utility, and commercial drawer applications.
A 218 lb capacity puts the Sugatsune 5302 well above the kitchen cabinet class. It belongs in shop drawers loaded with hand tools and hardware, commercial storage cabinets carrying parts bins, utility cabinets holding heavy supplies, and any built-in where the standard 100 lb class slide would be undersized for the actual load. Full extension means the entire drawer comes out to the cabinet face — nothing stays hidden at the back when the drawer is open, which matters when you need to reach a tool at the rear of a deep drawer quickly.
The 5302 series is built from stainless steel members finished in zinc. Zinc is the working standard finish for heavy-duty ball bearing slides: it resists corrosion in dry indoor conditions and holds up to the daily contact that comes with a hard-used shop or utility cabinet. The slide is not rated for washdown, wet, or outdoor environments — for those applications, look to a bare stainless or coated specialty slide.
The 5302-400 is the 16 inch length in the 5302 series, matched to drawer boxes and cabinet interiors in that depth range. The slide mounts one per side, so the drawer box needs to be sized to leave the required side clearance for each member. In face-frame cabinets, rear support — such as rear mounting brackets — is needed at the back of the slide; the brackets must be sourced to match this series. Non-handed construction means a single part number covers both sides, which simplifies ordering for shops running multiple drawers of the same depth.
The 218 lb rating is per pair — both slides working together. That is the number to compare against the expected loaded weight of the drawer.
No closing mechanism is specified for the 5302 series. The drawer rides on the ball bearings and stays where it is left — there is no damper, spring, or ramp close built in.
Side clearance for the 5302 series is not confirmed in the current product data. Standard side-mount ball bearing slides in this class typically require nominally 1/2 inch per side, but confirm the exact clearance against Sugatsune's installation specification for this series before building your drawer box.
Slide length and drawer travel are two different specs. At full extension, this slide brings the entire drawer clear of the cabinet opening — but the 16 inch figure is the closed slide length, not a travel distance guarantee. Match slide length to your cabinet's interior depth.
Yes, with proper rear support. Face-frame cabinets set the cabinet side back from the opening, so the rear end of the slide needs a bracket or socket to stay supported. Use rear mounting hardware specified for the Sugatsune 5302 series — brackets from other brands or series are not interchangeable.
When the drawer is going to carry real weight and needs to open completely, the Sugatsune 5302 in zinc delivers the capacity and travel to match — in a non-handed, side-mount format that installs straightforwardly on either side of the box.
