Sugatsune ESR-8-20 Drawer Slide For Smooth Access
Sugatsune ESR-8-20 drawer slide is a 20 inch, 3/4 extension ball bearing side mount slide that supports drawers where controlled travel is important, so you get consistent access without pulling the drawer fully out of the cabinet. Made by Sugatsune America as part of the ESR-8 Series, this slide keeps your hardware choice aligned within one product family on a project. The side mount design positions the slide along the cabinet sides, which suits common cabinet construction and lets you plan clearances around a known mounting style. Ball bearing construction supports smoother travel compared to slides without bearings, helping drawers open and close with less effort. The 3/4 extension design limits travel to a defined range, which can help protect contents in applications where full extension is not needed. This configuration gives installers a precise, repeatable motion profile across multiple drawers.
Key ESR-8-20 Details That Support The Job
- The ESR-8 Series identity ties this 20 inch slide to a defined Sugatsune product class, helping you keep replacements or additional drawers consistent across a run of cabinets.
- The 3/4 extension function controls how far the drawer travels, which can help keep loads within the cabinet footprint when full extension is unnecessary or undesired.
- Ball bearing construction provides guided movement along the slide, which helps drawers track more smoothly under hand load in everyday use.
- The unhanded design means the same ESR-8-20 part works on either side, simplifying ordering and on-site layout because left and right are not separated into different SKUs.
- The side mount configuration works with standard cabinet side panels, which lets installers plan screw locations along the cabinet sides instead of modifying the drawer bottom or face.
- Stainless steel construction using 304 stainless steel supports use in environments where a stainless material is preferred, helping align hardware choice with surrounding stainless components.
Mounting ESR-8 Series Slides With Screw Options
This ESR-8 Series slide is made of 304 stainless steel and mounts with M4 or #8 binding, pan, or truss head screws, so installers can match the slide to commonly used screw sizes and head styles. Using M4 or #8 screw sizes connects the slide to familiar drilling patterns, which helps keep hole sizing and pilot preparation consistent on a job. The ability to use binding, pan, or truss head screw types gives flexibility in head profile, which can help installers select a head style that seats properly in the slide mounting holes. As a side mount drawer slide, ESR-8-20 positions along the cabinet sides, so planning for mounting happens on flat side surfaces instead of beneath the drawer. The 20 inch length provides a defined slide size to match drawer depth, helping keep cabinet and drawer dimensions coordinated.
Using ESR-8-20 Slides In Real Cabinet Projects
Where This 20 Inch Slide Fits Best
The ESR-8-20 is a 20 inch side mount drawer slide, which suits drawer boxes built around that depth in cabinets and similar casework. Being unhanded, one ESR-8-20 part number works on both the left and right sides of the drawer, simplifying inventory when multiple drawers share the same slide length. The ESR-8 Series family designation ties this slide to a known Sugatsune America product class, which helps when a project uses several lengths from the same series and needs consistent performance. Ball bearing movement inside the slide supports controlled opening and closing of the drawer, which is useful where drawers are opened repeatedly during normal operation. The 3/4 extension travel allows access to stored items while keeping part of the drawer within the cabinet, which can be useful in layouts where fronts should not project as far into a walkway.
Details That Support Repeatable Mounting Results
The ESR-8-20 slide mounts with M4 or #8 binding, pan, or truss head screws, so shops can standardize on familiar screw sizes and heads to streamline installation across many drawers. Side mounting places screw locations along the cabinet sides, which helps installers apply consistent spacing patterns from drawer to drawer. The use of 304 stainless steel provides a stainless material for the slide body, which aligns with projects where stainless hardware is specified as part of the build. Ball bearing construction inside the slide guides movement along defined tracks, which aids in maintaining alignment between the cabinet member and the drawer member during use. With a 20 inch length and 3/4 extension design, installers can plan drawer depth and slide position around known travel limits, reducing rework caused by unexpected over-travel or misaligned drawer fronts.
