Stainless Steel Drawer Slides

Refrigerator Drawer Slide Rail

Q: Why don't refrigerator drawer slide rails use ball bearings?

1. Not suitable for low-temperature environmentsBall bearings may have problems with increased viscosity of lubricating oil in low-temperature environments, resulting in poor sliding performance. The temperature inside the refrigerator is often at a low level, which may make the lubricating oil of the ball bearing too viscous at low temperatures, affecting the smoothness of the bearing. In contrast, refrigerator drawer slide rails made of ordinary slide systems, such as steel or plastic slides, have more stable performance in low-temperature environments and are not affected by temperature changes.2. Moisture resistanceBall bearings require more stringent sealing and lubrication conditions, and in a humid environment such as a refrigerator, moisture may penetrate the bearing. This not only easily causes the bearing to rust, but also may affect the sliding performance. Traditional slide rail designs generally use a simpler structure to avoid such problems and reduce damage caused by moisture.

What is a Refrigerator Drawer Slide Rail?

A refrigerator drawer slide rail is a sliding device used in the drawer system inside a refrigerator, designed to make the drawer open and close more smoothly. It is usually made of durable metal or plastic material that can withstand the pressure and weight of daily use, ensuring that the drawer can be pulled out smoothly and closed securely.

Why don't refrigerator drawer slide rails use ball bearings?

1. Not suitable for low-temperature environments
Ball bearings may have problems with increased viscosity of lubricating oil in low-temperature environments, resulting in poor sliding performance.

In contrast, refrigerator drawer slide rails made of ordinary slide systems, such as steel or plastic slides, have more stable performance in low-temperature environments and are not affected by temperature changes.

2. Moisture resistance
Ball bearings require more stringent sealing and lubrication conditions, and in a humid environment such as a refrigerator, moisture may penetrate the bearing. This not only easily causes the bearing to rust, but also may affect the sliding performance.
