“Which of Accuride’s slides can be flat mounted?”
It is an important question since not all slides work well in this orientation.
Most ball bearing telescopic slides are designed to be mounted in pairs vertically, on the sides of drawers or the moving unit. There are some slides that can be mounted flat beneath the moving unit. If slides are mounted horizontally (flat mount) the load rating is decreased to approximately 25% of the vertical load rating. Some slides may have a lower or higher percentage.
Please refer to datasheets to find out if a slide is suitable for flat mounting or not.
