The Balancebox BBL is the innovative patented new vertical sliding system from Thomas Regout with slide lock.  It enables use of inaccessible potential storage locations at head height and above, and with its patented system of springs and vertical sliding linear rail, the storage drawer or unit can be slid up and down effortlessly, with the drawer weight being totally neutralised and made weightless for a feather light movement.

An ideal component for use in innovative and luxurious kitchen and interior design, it is also an ideal mounting bracket for Plasma TVs and other display media, both to adjust viewing height and to recess the screen either in a furniture unit or in the ceiling when not in use.

It also has applications in healthcare (e.g. variable height disabled access to equipment) and in other workplace and industrial situations (presentation of tools and equipment at variable height, storage etc).

The Balancebox BBL comprises two steel frames with internally mounted slides specifically designed to work in a vertical motion – one to be attached to the wall, and one to the application.  In the BBL version the spring system is adjusted manually to match the weight between a minimum and maximum weight settings and is fitted with an integral slide lock to secure the mechanism at any position.  The product is available with three weight ranges – 20Kg to 44Kg; 24Kg to 52 Kg; and 28Kg to 61Kg.  The system can be supplied with an optional stainless steel cover design.

The unit can be installed and works equally well for vertical sliding in either direction up or down.  BBB and BBE versions are also available.  The BBB Balancebox vertical slide system is the entry level system without the lock or powered features of the BBL or the BBE. The BBE vertical slide system is powered and operated by remote control.  The top of the range BBE systems automatically self adjusts its tension settings for load within the min and max range resulting in a highly sophisticated vertical slide solution.

Suitable Applications for this Product
Application Icon Banking Equipment - Cashpoint machines and other electronic machines for cash handling and delivery of customer services as well as in-branch furniture and desking.
Cash Machines (inc ATMs)
Light duty telescopic slide products installed to facilitate maintenance and replenishment of ATMs, cash counting and other in-branch cash handling machinery.
In-branch Desking

Banking furniture is recognised as being of a specialised nature, requiring slide produtcs that offer the operator smooth, reliable and safe movement when drawers are fully loaded with coinage but also providing high levels of security against unuathorised access when required.

Thomas Regout Products

The Thomas Regout range of rolled steel telescopic slide products has a world wide reputation for quality and reliability. GSF offer this superb brand of products within our range with various models available for delivery direct from our stock here in the U.K.

For standard stocked models we are pleased to offer a one pair minimum order quantity with next day delivery.

Application Icon Electronics - Telescopic slides (full extension and over extension) for mounting electronics racks and components for maintenance and installation purposes.
ATMs/TVMs

In ATM/TVM machines, operators will be accessing the machines on a daily basis, and it is generally an absolute requirement that the components of the machine are always positioned accurately in relation to each other to ensure that they interract correctly.  This requires precision engineered slides that remain reliable and and do not lose shape or become loose over time, despite high movement repetitions.

GSF has an extensive range of cost-effective slides designed to meet these criteria. This, coupled with GSF's expertise at specifying slides and designing fixings, enables us to make a significant contribution to the overall success of your end-product.

 

Specials

For the mounting of electronics in non-standard environments, many different factors may need to be taken into account.  For example, when mounted in vehicles, the electronic components and the slide systems holding them in place have to be able to withstand vibration, impact, and dynamic forces caused by the movement of the vehicle itself.  In some cases, particularly military applications, the system may need to be designed to withstand damp, dusty and corrosive conditions as well.

GSF's long experience of specifying slides and systems for a vast array of non-standard applications constitutes possibly the most valuable resource available to you. To help ensure that your product performance criteria are fully satisfied a range of additional options are available for consideration - selection of base materials for the slide beams, cages and ball bearings, specification of corrosion resistant finishes, end-stops, locking mechanisms, double extensions, slide reinforcing and many more.

Effectivly, GSF can provide the most standard of solutions through to a totally bespoke slide design.

 

Application Icon Industrial Storage - In-rack drawers and bespoke storage systems and assemblies
Museum Storage

The breadth of GSF's product range gives you an unparalled advantage when engineering solutions for unique storage systems that have to accomodate large irregular shaped artifacts or exhibits. Our experience with some of the more unusual high volume low load applications and environmentally sensitive storage conditions is available for you to call upon together with access to perhaps the widest range of sliding procuts in the world.

Correct selection and specification of the slide system will ensure maximisation of the space inside the storage or display unit while providing safe and secure access when required.

 

 

Workspace Storage

GSF offers a wide range of standardised products that are available direct from stock and which are most suitable for use in workspace desking, tool storage, assembly and operation stations. These products can be purchased free of restrictive minimum order quantities and charges. 

 

 

Application Icon Machine Building - The design and construction of speciliased operational machinery and machine guards
General

Specification and design of linear movement systems incorporating linear rails and telescopic slides for use in machine guarding applications and the design and installation of manufacturing, cargo handling and other situation specific plant and machinery.

In such industrial applications, reliability and robustness are key requirements.  When incorporated into automated plant, movement precision is also vital.  The load capacities indicated on GSF's high-end range represent the maximum load that can be carried whilst causing a slide deflection at full extension of no more than 1% of the slide's closed length.  This is a much higher and more rigorous standard than is typically used by others for measuring slide load capacities, as a results our customers have come to rely on GSF products for their durability and strength.

GSF's range also includes slides that operate with ultra-high precision based on innovative roller bearing technology, and which are self aligning.

GSF's design team has the ability to offer all or any of these components when working alongside your own engineering team.

Application Icon Motor Manufacturing Plant - Telescopic Slide and Linear Rail components for lineside delivery and component handling systems
Automated Production Lines

Linear movement components and telescopic slides for use on repetition-intensive automated production lines. Components require a high resistance to localised wear patterns, uniform operating loads and designs capable of working at fast speeds with high accelerations. 

Manually Operated

Linear rail and telescopic slide products for component delivery and handling at lineside assembly stations.

The breadth of GSF's product range gives you an unparalled advantage when engineering solutions for delivery systems that have to accomodate large irregular shaped components or sub assemblies within space restricted lineside delivery stillages.

Correct selection and specification of the slide system will ensure maximisation of the space inside the delivery stillage and production efficency while accomdating the natural variations of manual handling present in a time sensitive assembly environment.
