This document provides installation instructions for the ModernSlide 3D drawer slide system, model PB-3DSLIDE-.... It is a full-extension drawer slide designed for various furniture applications, offering smooth operation and precise adjustability.
Function Description
The ModernSlide 3D is a drawer slide system that allows for the smooth and full extension of drawers. It incorporates a soft-close mechanism, referred to as "mechanizm spowalniający" (slowing mechanism) or "quiet shut," which ensures that drawers close gently and silently. A key feature of this system is its 3D adjustment capability, allowing for fine-tuning of the drawer's position in three dimensions:
- Vertical (pion): 0-2.5mm adjustment.
- Horizontal (poziom): ±1.5mm adjustment.
- Depth (głębokość): 0-3mm adjustment.
These adjustments enable installers to achieve perfect alignment of drawer fronts, even after installation, compensating for minor inaccuracies in cabinet construction. The system is designed for both standard drawers and inner drawers, providing flexibility in furniture design.
Important Technical Specifications
- Load Capacity (dopuszczalne obciążenie / load capacity / Максимальная нагрузка): 40 kg. This indicates the maximum weight the drawer slide can support, making it suitable for a wide range of drawer contents, including heavier items.
- Available Lengths (dostępne długości / available lengths / Доступные длины): 250-550 mm. This range of lengths allows the slides to be used with various drawer sizes, accommodating different cabinet depths.
- Extension Type (pełny wysuw / full extension / Полное выдвижение): The slides offer full extension, meaning the entire drawer box can be pulled out of the cabinet, providing complete access to its contents.
- Soft-Close Mechanism (mechanizm spowalniający / quiet shut / Механизм плавного закрывания): Integrated for gentle and silent closing.
- 3D Adjustment Range:
- Vertical: 0-2.5 mm
- Horizontal: ±1.5 mm
- Depth: 0-3 mm
Usage Features
The manual details the precise positioning for mounting the slides within the cabinet body and on the drawer box.
Mounting Position of Slides (pozycja mocowania prowadnic / slides mounting position / Позиция крепления направляющих к корпусу):
The diagrams illustrate the screw hole patterns and dimensions for various slide lengths (NL), ranging from 250mm to 550mm.
- NL (długość prowadnicy / slide length / Длина направляющей): Refers to the nominal length of the slide.
- Distance from body edge (krawędź korpusu / body edge / Грань корпуса): The first screw hole is consistently positioned 37mm from the front edge of the cabinet body.
- Screw Hole Spacing: Specific distances are provided for each slide length, ensuring proper support and stability. For example, for NL=250mm, the screw holes are at 37mm, 96mm, and 224mm from the front edge. For longer slides, additional screw holes are provided at 32mm intervals.
Mounting Dimensions (wymiary montażowe / mounting dimensions / Установочные размеры):
- SKW (wewnętrzna szerokość szuflady / internal drawer width / Внутренняя ширина ящика): Internal width of the drawer.
- LW (wewnętrzna szerokość szafki / internal cabinet width / Внутренняя ширина шкафа): Internal width of the cabinet.
- Relationship: SKW = LW - 42mm. This critical dimension ensures proper clearance for the slides and the drawer box within the cabinet.
- Minimum Clearance: A minimum clearance of 14mm from the top of the drawer opening is indicated (Max 14).
- Drawer Slide Height: The slide mechanism itself requires a minimum height of 28.5mm (Min28.5).
- Drawer Front Overlap: A minimum overlap of 6mm (Min 6) is shown for the drawer front at the top.
- Bottom Clearance: A minimum clearance of 38mm (min 38) is required from the bottom of the cabinet.
- Mounting Screw Placement: The diagram shows a screw hole at 21mm from the front edge of the cabinet for the slide.
Installing the 3D Locking Device (montaż sprzęgła 3D / installing the 3D locking device / Монтаж крепления 3D):
The 3D locking device, or coupler, is a crucial component that connects the drawer box to the slide.
- Positioning: The diagram shows the coupler mounted on the underside of the drawer box.
- Angle: The adjustment mechanism is accessible from the front, allowing for 3D adjustments. The diagram indicates a 70° angle for the adjustment screws, suggesting easy access for fine-tuning.
- Clearance: A minimum clearance of 55mm (Min55-) is shown from the back edge of the drawer box to the adjustment mechanism.
- Screw Holes: The coupler is secured with screws, and the diagram illustrates the placement of these screws.
Back Panel Preparation (obróbka ścianki tylnej / back panel preparation / Обработка задней стенки):
This section provides dimensions for preparing the back panel of the drawer box to accommodate the slide system.
- Back Panel Thickness: The diagram indicates a maximum back panel thickness of 14mm (Max 14) with a suggested range of 11-14mm.
- Cutout for Slide: A cutout is required at the bottom of the back panel to allow the slide mechanism to pass through.
- Height of Cutout: 35mm from the bottom edge of the back panel.
- Width of Cutout: The diagram shows a 6mm diameter hole (Ø6) for a screw or pin, and a 10mm dimension from the bottom edge to the center of this hole. Another dimension of 11mm is shown, likely related to the height of the cutout or a specific feature.
Drawer Types:
Standard Drawer (szuflada standardowa / standard drawer / Стандартный ящик):
- NL (długość prowadnicy / slide length / Длина направляющей): Nominal slide length.
- LT (wewnętrzna gębokość szafki / internal cabinet depth / Внутренняя глубина шкафа): Internal depth of the cabinet.
- Relationship: LT = NL + 5mm. This means the internal depth of the cabinet should be 5mm greater than the slide length.
- Drawer Box Depth: The diagram shows the drawer box depth as NL - 10mm.
- Front Panel Offset: The front panel of the drawer box is offset by 37mm from the front edge of the drawer box side.
Inner Drawer (szuflada wewnętrzna / inner drawer / Внутренний ящик):
- NL (długość prowadnicy / slide length / Длина направляющей): Nominal slide length.
- LT (wewnętrzna gębokość szafki / internal cabinet depth / Внутренняя глубина шкафа): Internal depth of the cabinet.
- Relationship: LT = NL + X + 5mm. Here, 'X' represents an additional dimension, likely related to the specific design of the inner drawer or its front panel. The diagram shows X = 19mm.
- Drawer Box Depth: The diagram shows the drawer box depth as NL - 10 + X.
- Front Panel Offset: The front panel of the inner drawer box is offset by 37mm from the front edge of the drawer box side.
Maintenance Features
While the manual does not explicitly detail maintenance procedures, the design of the ModernSlide 3D system suggests minimal maintenance requirements.
- Durable Construction: The 40kg load capacity implies robust construction, likely using durable materials that require little to no ongoing maintenance.
- Soft-Close Mechanism: Integrated soft-close mechanisms are typically maintenance-free throughout their lifespan.
- 3D Adjustment: The 3D adjustment feature allows for easy re-alignment of drawer fronts if they shift over time due to wear or changes in humidity, effectively acting as a self-correcting maintenance feature for aesthetic alignment.
- Cleaning: As with most drawer slides, occasional cleaning of dust and debris from the slide tracks would likely be beneficial to ensure continued smooth operation, although this is not explicitly mentioned.
In summary, the ModernSlide 3D is a versatile, robust, and user-friendly drawer slide system offering precise adjustability and a quiet, soft-close function, suitable for a wide range of furniture applications.
