18’Drawer Slide Ball Bearing

Drawer slide ball bearings are a component of drawer slides, which are mechanisms that enable drawers to open and close smoothly within cabinets, furniture, or other storage units. Ball bearings are used to reduce friction and facilitate the smooth movement of the drawer slides. Here are the key features and aspects of drawer slide ball bearings:

1. Construction: Drawer slide ball bearings consist of small metal balls housed within a circular track or raceway. These balls are typically made of steel or stainless steel and are precisely spaced and arranged to evenly distribute weight and facilitate smooth sliding motion.
2. Functionality: Ball bearings in drawer slides work by reducing friction between moving parts. As the drawer is opened or closed, the balls roll along the raceway, providing a smooth and quiet operation. This reduces wear and tear on the drawer slides and allows for effortless movement of the drawer.
