Selection Notes
- Load capacity decreases as slide length increases. Select according to the actual load and prioritize shorter-stroke models when a higher load safety margin is required.
- If installation space inside the equipment is limited, verify the closed length and full extension length before selecting a model.
- For special sizes outside the standard range, contact Truslide for a customization evaluation.
Core Technical Advantages
Lightweight and Compact Design
Compared with steel slides of the same specification, aluminum alloy reduces the product's self-weight by approximately 40%. Its 20mm width and 16mm thickness make it suitable for equipment with restricted installation space.
Protective Anodized Surface
The uniform silver anodized surface provides wear and corrosion resistance for use in general indoor industrial and humid environments while maintaining a clean matte appearance.
Smooth and Low-Noise Operation
Precision-machined raceways and a ball-bearing structure provide uniform sliding resistance, stable movement and reduced opening-and-closing noise.
Typical Applications
Precision Measuring Instruments
Suitable for pull-out modules and storage units in small testing and calibration equipment where compact size and low weight are important.
Industrial Electronic Equipment
Suitable for pull-out modules in industrial control chassis, electronic enclosures and small testing equipment.
Portable Medical Devices
Suitable for drawer-type storage structures that require quiet movement, smooth operation and an easy-to-clean surface.
Laboratory Equipment
Supports frequently operated sliding structures in laboratory instruments without adding excessive weight to the equipment.
Smart Home Equipment
Can be used in hidden storage units for home-office equipment, kitchen appliances and other compact household installations.
Commercial and Retail Equipment
Suitable for lightweight drawers and pull-out shelves in display cabinets, smart terminals and office equipment.
Quality Control
The AL1620PT is manufactured at Truslide's production base in Shanghai under a standardized management system. Before delivery, products undergo multiple inspections to verify load capacity, operating durability and environmental adaptability, supporting stable quality for batch orders.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the listed load capacity per slide or per pair?
All load capacities listed on this page are rated values per pair, meaning two slides.
Can the AL1620PT be installed horizontally?
This model is designed for side mounting. Horizontal installation will significantly reduce its load capacity and is therefore not recommended.
Can special slide lengths be customized?
Standard specifications range from 4 to 20 inches. For special length requirements, contact Truslide to evaluate customization feasibility.
Can the mounting-hole positions be customized?
Yes. Customized hole layouts can be evaluated according to the installation requirements of the customer's equipment.
Does this slide include a locking function?
The standard AL1620PT does not include a locking function. Please consult Truslide regarding other aluminum alloy slide models with locking options.
Are CAD drawings available?
Yes. Two-dimensional CAD dimensional drawings are available for this model. Contact the Truslide sales team to request the files.
