Testing Methods

The tests are conducted in our in-house laboratories, which are based in each of our design and manufacturing sites around the globe. The slides are typically mounted 450mm apart and the load is placed with its centre of gravity in the centre of drawer. Measurements are taken and the test rig is then started and will run through the cycles, with further measurements and checks made along the way. As previously mentioned, we test furniture sector slides up to 80,000 cycles and industrial sector slides up to 10,000 cycles, but there are variations. Look at the datasheets for detailed information.
