Professional Range 316L Stainless Steel 1.4404 < 2,000kg

The Professional Range of extreme duty telescopic slides has been extended to include all 316L stainless steel versions. This follows the interchangeable steel and aluminium formats to provide the end user with total flexibility for future design demands.

Our extreme environment stainless steel slides are manufactured from marine grade 316L (1.4404) stainless steel (inox) offering a very high corrosion resistance, including marine applications, where standard grade 304 is ineffective. The austenitic structure of 316L stainless gives excellent toughness, even at cryogenic temperatures. High and low temperature grease can be applied at customer’s request. The beams are electrostatically polished to a bright finish on all surface areas as standard.

The SDTS ‘I’ beam profile is particularly suited for highly corrosive applications with prolonged exposure to the elements. Having a compact profile, this makes them an excellent choice for undercarriage train battery rafts in hostile conditions or military vehicles working in sub-zero climates. Constructed from milled stainless steel sections, with machined ball tracks for accuracy, the slides have excellent levels of shock and vibration resistance.

The slide beams, cages and ball bearings are manufactured from austenitic grade 316L (1.4404). End stop bolts and retaining pins are austenitic grade 304 (1.4301), completing the corrosion protection. There is the bespoke option to manufacture an all 316L product on higher production volumes.

Due to the extreme strength of the mobile ‘I’ beam, these slides are robust to applied loads when in the extended position making them an excellent choice for dynamic applications, unlike many other slides manufactured from weaker rolled steel ‘C’ sections. There are no plastic parts in the manufacture of this range, making it ideal for high and low temperature use. The SDTSB version of this slide is fitted for an extension front and rear, equal to the closed length. Please ask our engineers for further information.

Sliding Systems can replicate any Professional Range steel telescopic slide in stainless 316L. This is a bespoke service requiring manufacturing MOQ’s. The SDTS-120 & SDTS-150, taking the load capacities to 2,000kg are bespoke. Please consult our engineers.

Prices are per single slide. Loadings are given per extended pair. There are two slides per pair. The stainless steel slides are manufactured to order. Please allow 5-6 weeks (8-10 for bespoke SDTS-120 & 150). Or can be stocked for immediate call off against scheduled orders.
