Sugatsune ESR-8 Series 16" 3/4 Extension Ball Bearing Drawer Slides, Unhanded Side Mount Stainless Steel, - ESR-8-16

Sugatsune ESR-8 16 Inch Drawer Slide Use

Sugatsune ESR-8 16 inch drawer slide defines this 3/4 extension ball bearing, side mount drawer slide, giving you a clear match when you need a 16 inch member in the ESR-8 Series. The slide is part of Sugatsune Americas ESR-8 Series, so it fits jobs where that specific series is already specified or installed and you want consistent performance across multiple drawer bays. As a side mount drawer slide, it supports typical cabinet construction where runners fasten to the cabinet sides, keeping layout straightforward on frameless or face-frame cases built around side mounting. Because it uses ball bearing construction, the slide is designed to run smoothly along its travel, which matters when drawers are loaded and you want predictable movement without fighting friction during daily use. The 3/4 extension design moves the drawer most of the way out, which supports access to contents while keeping some of the drawer box supported inside the cabinet.

Key ESR-8-16 Details For Real Jobs

• The ESR-8-16 designation identifies the exact Sugatsune America part in the ESR-8 Series, helping match replacements or additions when a project already calls out this model so you stay consistent from bay to bay.
• Construction in 304 stainless steel means the slide is made from a corrosion-resistant stainless alloy, which matters where humidity, cleaning, or exposure would challenge plain steel slides over time.
• Side mount design places the slide on the drawer and cabinet sides, aligning with common cabinet layouts where side mounting simplifies installation and keeps the drawer box bottom clear for other design choices.
• 3/4 extension travel lets the drawer extend partway out while retaining section length inside the cabinet, supporting access to contents and helping keep more of the slide length engaged under load.
• Ball bearing operation supports smooth guided motion along the slide members, which is useful on drawers that see frequent opening and closing during regular use across commercial or shop environments.
• Front disconnect capability lets the drawer member disengage at the front, which can streamline drawer removal and reinstallation during fitting, finishing, or later service work.

Mounting And Screw Details For ESR-8-16

This ESR-8-16 slide is designed for side mounting, so both the cabinet and drawer members fasten along their length to the side panels, which helps align with standard construction where you already have side material available. Mounting uses M4 or #8 binding, pan, or truss head screws, giving flexibility to match metric or imperial shop standards while still staying within the specified head and shank range for correct seating. Because the slide is made of 304 stainless steel, using the specified screw types lets the heads sit properly on the slide holes, supporting consistent clamping without distorting the stainless members during installation.

Using The Sugatsune ESR-8-16 In Projects

Where The ESR-8-16 Drawer Slide Fits Best

The Sugatsune ESR-8-16 is a 16 inch member from the ESR-8 Series, so it fits projects where drawer depth and cabinet geometry call for a 16 inch side mount slide. As a side mount, it works with cabinetry that carries structural material on the sides, supporting typical cabinet construction found in woodworking shops and casework builds. The 3/4 extension ball bearing arrangement suits drawers that need clear access across most of the box but do not require full extension, balancing exposure of contents with the stability of keeping part of the box supported inside the case. Because the slide is made from 304 stainless steel, it is suited to environments where metal components encounter moisture or cleaning, such as commercial spaces or work areas where resistance to corrosion supports long service life.

Details That Support Repeatable Slide Performance

The ESR-8 Series identity combined with the ESR-8-16 part number allows consistent selection across a run of cabinets, which aids repeatable results when you want the same drawer action on every opening. Ball bearing construction guides movement along defined races, which supports a smoother, more predictable feel over the 3/4 extension travel, especially when drawers see frequent use. The front disconnect feature means the drawer member can disengage forward, which simplifies removal during finishing, alignment, or service work without disturbing the cabinet member fastened to the carcass. Mounting with M4 or #8 binding, pan, or truss head screws ensures the head geometry suits the slide holes, supporting solid contact between screw and 304 stainless steel without point-loading the material. Taken together, these details create a slide setup where specified series, known length, defined mounting side, and controlled disconnect style all contribute to consistent installation and service across multiple drawers.
