Manufacturing Process of Furniture Hardware Ball Bearing Slides
  • Raw Material Preparation
    - Steel Strip: Cold-rolled high-carbon steel (SPCC) or stainless steel (SUS304), thickness 0.8-1.2mm.
    - Balls: Chrome steel balls (G10 grade), diameter 2-3mm, hardness ≥HRC60.
  • Stamping & Forming
    - Progressive Die Stamping: High-speed presses (300-600 SPM) with multi-stage dies punch mounting holes and bend edges.
    - Roll Forming: 3-roll benders shape strips into C/U channels with ±0.1mm dimensional tolerance.
  • Heat Treatment
    - Quenching & Tempering: Oil quenching at 820℃ followed by 180℃ tempering for HV550 surface hardness.
    - Surface Coating: Electrophoretic coating (20-30μm) or Zn-Ni electroplating (8-12μm) for corrosion resistance.
  • Ball Assembly
    - Retainer Molding: Glass-filled nylon retainers injection-molded with ±0.02mm ball pocket accuracy.
    - Auto Ball Loading: Vibratory feeders + machine vision place 40-60 balls per retainer.
  • Slide Assembly
    - Press Fit: Inner/outer rails + retainers assembled with hydraulic press (50-80N preload).
    - Lubrication: Lithium grease (NLGI 2) applied and sealed via ultrasonic welding.
  • Quality Control
    - Smoothness Test: 100,000 cycles @ 0.3m/s, friction coefficient <0.15.
    - Load Test: Static load ≥60kg, 20kg dynamic fatigue test (100k cycles) without deformation.
  • Packaging
    - Rust Prevention: VCI paper + PE film for 24-month storage.
    - Laser Marking: Batch code, load rating (e.g., 60kg), certifications (ANSI/BIFMA).
Manufacturing Process of Furniture Hidden Slides
  • Material Preparation
    - Metal Sheets: Cold-rolled high-carbon steel (SPCC) or stainless steel (SUS304), thickness 0.8-1.5mm.
    - Accessories: Chrome steel balls (G10 grade, Ø2-3mm), glass-filled nylon retainers, lithium grease.
  • Stamping & Forming
    - Progressive Die Stamping: High-speed presses (300-600 SPM) punch mounting holes and create features like connection notches (to reduce weight and adapt to uneven surfaces).
    - Roll Forming: C/U-shaped or "几"-shaped profiles (for load distribution) are formed via
    -roll benders, tolerance ±0.1mm.
  • Welding & Finishing
    - Integrated Stamping: One-piece structures (e.g., base plates with guide rails) eliminate welding, enhancing rigidity.
    - Automated Welding: Tail hooks and adjustment plates are welded at 5-8 pcs/min, compatible with 250-600mm lengths.
    - Surface Grinding: Contact surfaces polished to Ra≤0.8μm for smooth sliding.
  • Heat Treatment & Coating
    - Quenching & Tempering: Oil quenching at 820℃ + tempering at 180℃ achieve HV550 surface hardness.
    - Anti-Corrosion Coating: Electrophoretic coating (20-30μm) or Zn-Ni electroplating (8-12μm) passes 480hr salt spray test.
  • Component Assembly
    - Ball/Roller Loading: Retainers molded with ±0.02mm precision; vibratory feeders place 40-60 balls per slide.
    - Hydraulic Pressing: Inner/outer rails + retainers assembled under 50-80N preload.
    - Grease Sealing: Lithium grease (NLGI 2) injected and sealed via ultrasonic welding.
  • Quality Control
    - Smoothness Test: 100,000 cycles at 0.3m/s, friction coefficient <0.15.
    - Load Test: Static load ≥60kg; 20kg dynamic fatigue test (100k cycles) without deformation.
  • Packaging & Marking
    - Rust Prevention: VCI paper + PE film for 24-month storage.
    - Laser Engraving: Load rating (e.g., 60kg), certifications (BIFMA), and batch codes marked.
