The Sugatsune ESR-6 Series 22 inch side-mount ball bearing drawer slide is built from 304 stainless steel, making it the right choice when corrosion resistance is the first requirement. It is a full-extension slide rated 112 lb per pair, suited to commercial, food-service, laboratory, and marine environments where a standard zinc-finished slide would be a liability.
Standard zinc-plated ball bearing slides handle most indoor cabinet work without issue. Stainless steel becomes the right call when moisture, cleaning chemicals, or condensation are part of the environment. Commercial kitchen drawers near sinks and prep areas, laboratory casework exposed to chemical splash, marine or yacht cabinetry, and outdoor-rated enclosures are all applications where 304 stainless is specified rather than upgraded to. The ESR-6 is also a practical choice in humid climates where zinc finishes on slides degrade before the cabinet does. At 22 inches, it suits deep kitchen or work-surface drawers that need the full contents brought forward at opening.
The slide is fabricated from 304 stainless steel — the most widely specified grade for food-service and light industrial environments. Ball bearings run in formed stainless raceways for smooth travel that holds up through repeated wash-and-dry cycles. The finish is a natural brushed stainless appearance; it does not require paint, plating, or coating that could chip, peel, or hide a rust problem underneath. Each slide mounts to the drawer side and cabinet interior with 1/2 inch of side clearance per side, matching the standard clearance convention for side-mount ball bearing slides in this class.
This slide is designed for professional and commercial applications where corrosion resistance is a specification requirement, not just a preference. It fits cabinet shops building commercial casework, designers specifying laboratory or marine interiors, and contractors sourcing for food-service or hospitality installs. The non-handed design keeps inventory simple on multi-drawer projects. For residential kitchen renovation or standard woodworking shop drawers in a dry environment, a zinc-finished slide in the same load class covers the need at lower cost — the stainless finish is selected when the environment demands it. Sold as a pair.
The ESR-6 is built from 304 stainless steel, the grade standard in food-service, laboratory, and light marine environments.
No. This is a standard-motion slide — the drawer rides freely on the ball bearings and stays wherever it is left. There is no damper, spring, or detent built in.
Twenty-two inches is the closed length of the slide. Because this is a full-extension slide, the drawer travels approximately its full length, bringing the entire box out to the cabinet face.
No. The ESR-6 is non-handed — both slides in the pair are identical and fit either side of the drawer box.
Side-mount slides in a face-frame cabinet need rear support. Check whether a compatible rear mounting bracket is available for the ESR-6 series before installing in face-frame construction.
When the install has to hold up to moisture, cleaning cycles, or a corrosive atmosphere, the ESR-6 in 304 stainless eliminates the finish as a failure point and keeps the drawer running smoothly for the life of the installation.
