High Friction in drawers
Issue
: Some drawers can build up high friction on the last couple of centimeters of
travel. The friction is so high that it can feel like mechanical blocking.
Cause
: The balls in the rails can get out of synchronization with the telescopic
parts of the rail. This can happen during transport or if the drawers are pulled out
many times to the same side.
Solution
: To reset the affected drawers, pull hard towards the inflicted part of the
travel. Do so until the drawer travels normal and freely again.
Prevention
: In most cases the balls and telescopic parts will stay synchronized if
the drawers are pulled out to their full extension alternately to one side and the
other. If needed combine this with a reset operation on a regular basis.
Attention
: Running for example an automated test by letting a robot operate the
drawers many times from the same side, can gradually bring the balls out of
synchronization, causing the problem to reoccur.
