BIS CERTIFICATION OF TELESCOPIC BALL BEARING DRAWER SLIDES AS PER IS 17954 : A JOURNEY WITH OMEGA QMS PVT. LTD.

INTRODUCTION

In the realm of drawer slides, precision engineering and durability are paramount. The evolution of telescopic ball bearing drawer slides has transformed functionality, ensuring smooth operations and longevity. However, ensuring consistency, reliability, and adherence to stringent quality standards are imperative. In this regard, the Indian Standard IS 17954 for Telescopic Ball Bearing Drawer Slide stands as a beacon, delineating the requirements for materials, dimensions, finish, and functional performance.

SUMMARY OF INDIAN STANDARD IS 17954:2023

IS 17954:2023 serves as the cornerstone for manufacturers in the realm of telescopic ball bearing slides, offering a comprehensive roadmap for production excellence. This standard meticulously categorizes slides based on their loading capacity, ensuring that they are tailored to meet the demands of various applications, whether light duty or super heavy duty. Moreover, it leaves no room for ambiguity in terms of dimensions, specifying precise requirements for each component to ensure uniformity and consistency across the manufacturing process.

In addition to setting stringent standards for classification and dimensions, IS 17954 places a strong emphasis on quality validation through rigorous testing procedures. Vertical and horizontal load tests simulate real-world conditions, assessing the slides’ ability to withstand vertical and horizontal forces without detachment. The durability test subjects the slides to repeated cycles of opening and closing, mimicking the wear and tear they may experience during their operational lifespan. Subsequent deflection and slam tests ensure structural integrity and robustness, crucial for reliable performance under varying conditions.
