Chambrelan Telescopic Slides and Guide Rails for High-Temperature Environments

Are the standard operating ranges of our telescopic or linear rails not sufficient for your application?

CHAMBRELAN can adapt its slides to meet your specific requirements and provide a tailored solution.

Our telescopic slides and linear rails can be modified for use in demanding high- and low-temperature environments, including:

  • Ovens and proofers – for raising and lowering doors or extending trays
  • Fireplaces and stoves – for sliding protective doors or railings
  • Catalytic systems – for accessing the interior of the equipment
  • Drying cabinets – for extracting trays and drawers

CHAMBRELAN also offers two locking systems suitable for high-temperature applications. For environments operating beyond standard temperature ranges, please contact us for further guidance.

A – Manual Lock

The manual lock is the most commonly used locking system for drawer slides and can be fitted to many of our ball-bearing slide models.

Three locking options are available:

  • Lock-in – locks in the retracted position
  • Lock-out – locks in the extended position
  • Combination lock – locks in both open and closed positions

Like our telescopic ball-bearing slide range, these locks are designed to operate in temperatures from -20°C to +80°C as standard.

With appropriate modifications, they can withstand temperatures of up to 350°C.

To prevent damage to both the slide and lock mechanism, all plastic components must be removed prior to use in extreme-temperature environments.

Please note that CHAMBRELAN manual locks are compatible only with our telescopic slide range. If your application uses a linear guide rail or requires vertical deployment, we recommend our alternative locking system: the slam lock handle.

B – Slam Lock Handle

Our stainless steel slam lock handles are designed to provide three locking configurations:

  • Slam lock handle in the closed position
  • Double slam lock handle – locks in both open and closed positions
  • Slam lock handle for double extension

In the standard version, these handles operate within a temperature range of -40°C to +70°C, with peak resistance from -50°C to +120°C.

However, if the operating environment exceeds these limits, caution is advised. Excessive heat may damage the plastic handle and push button components, potentially affecting the performance of the installation.
