Sliding rails SCHROFF GLEITSCHIENEN 500T 50kg 2x – rack mounting rail pair

Pair of SCHROFF GLEITSCHIENEN 500T sliding rails designed for rack mounting. These rails provide guided extension and retraction for equipment installed in 19" racks and compact enclosures, enabling easier access for installation and maintenance while supporting a load capacity of up to 50 kg per pair. The robust metal construction and precision sliding mechanism are intended for frequent use in data centers, server rooms and industrial housing where dependable, space-saving access is required.

Advantages

The SCHROFF GLEITSCHIENEN 500T rails combine a compact profile with a smooth glide action to minimize friction and noise during operation. Their rack-compatible dimensions and mounting points simplify integration into standard 19" frames. The load rating of 50 kg ensures stable support for servers, storage devices or other rack-mounted equipment. Durable materials and engineered tolerances reduce wear over time and maintain consistent movement under load.

Suitable for

• Mounting servers, storage units and networking devices in 19" racks
• Equipment that requires periodic removal or servicing inside compact enclosures
• Industrial or telecom racks where reliable slide access is needed

Key specifications

• Compatibility: designed for standard 19" rack mounting and compact enclosures
• Load capacity: supports up to 50 kg per rail pair
• Configuration: pair of sliding rails for guided extension and retraction
• Construction: metal sliding mechanism with precision bearings/rollers for smooth operation
• Finish: anti-corrosion/coated surface suitable for rack environments

How to use

Install the rail pair according to the rack’s mounting requirements, aligning the rail mounting points with the rack’s vertical rails and securing with appropriate fasteners. Slide the inner rail sections fully to the extended position to place the equipment on the inner sliding member, then retract to check proper seating and locking. Ensure the load is distributed evenly across the rail width and that the appliance is centered before final fastening. Verify smooth movement through the full travel and confirm that mounting hardware is tightened to prevent unwanted play.

Usage recommendations

For reliable long-term performance, inspect moving parts periodically and keep the slide path free of debris. Use recommended rack fasteners and avoid exceeding the 50 kg load rating. When servicing, support heavy equipment during removal to prevent sudden drops and check the rails for alignment after any impact or heavy load changes.
