Telescopic Guiding Technology

PBC Linear’s roller-based Telescopic Guiding Technology uses extremely versatile mechanical components, capable of solving many problems of linear movement for a telescopic drawer slide where it is desired to move a load out from one side of a fixed support and return to that position. Telescopic guiding technology offers the reliable telescopic linear movement so vital to the successful operation of battery racks, tool shelves, packaging systems, and many other industrial applications.  PBC’s telescopic guiding technology products are the only roller based telescopic slides with load capacity equaling the traditional ball cage rails, and they also offer a uniquely smooth and precise feel.  Materials include stainless steel, aluminum, and hardened steel.  PBC’s range of offerings combined with our linear expertise enables you to be sure that you are getting the right telescoping and drawer mount components for your application.

• Industrial strength drawer slides in inch and metric lengths
• Precision and Compact Precision telescoping slides in attractive black finish
• Smoother, more precise telescopic motion than ball-cage slides
• Radial and axial load handling capability
• Unique self-aligning capability compensates for assembly or surface alignment errors
• Full extension slides offer strokes slightly beyond the overall closed length
• Designed to operate with minimum maintenance

Redi-Rail™ Drawer Slides series of telescopic slides is comprised of an S-shaped stainless steel frame, and two identical aluminum rails with embedded hardened steel raceways.  One aluminum member is fixed to the framework and one to the drawer.  The sealed steel rollers offer smooth, quiet, and precise movement. 

• S-shaped stainless steel frame
• Drawer slides in inch and metric lengths, left and right hand configurations
• Three size options in multiple standard lengths

PBC’s RDRX series Precision Drawer Slide series of telescopic slides are designed for heavy duty high-tech telescopic applications, with precise motorized movement, requiring constant smooth sliding performance with no play.
