TABLE SLIDE GUIDE SCREW

A screw is a type of fastener, in some ways similar to a bolt typically made of metal, and characterized by a helical ridge, known as a male thread (external thread). Screws are used to fasten materials by digging in and wedging into a material when turned, while the thread cuts grooves in the fastened material that may help pull fastened materials together and prevent pull-out.

A screw drive is a system used to turn a screw. At a minimum, it is a set of shaped cavities and protrusions on the screw head that allows torque to be applied to it. Usually, it also involves a mating tool, such as a screwdriver, that is used to turn it. Other examples include Phillips head screws and screwdrivers, and Allen hex screws and wrenches.

Slide or Door Slide or Drawer Slide are blanket terms used in the industry for all ball bearing slides, telescopic slides, drawer runners, linear slides, rails, and various other guides. Slides are used in refrigerators and freezers, merchandisers, holding and service cabinets and more. A slides movement describes exactly how the slide operates inside of the cabinet. Typically, this is either telescoping movement, which occurs in stages or progressive movement where the various slide members move simultaneously.
