Refrigerator drawers are typically large and deep, which naturally increases their weight and sliding distance.From a mechanical perspective, such drawers should be difficult to push in smoothly. However, in daily use, this rarely becomes a problem. The primary reason is the use of well-designed sliding rails.
To further improve performance, a damper is often integrated at the end of the rail system.As the drawer approaches the fully closed position, the damper slows down the movement, reducing closing speed and preventing direct impact between the drawer and the refrigerator cabinet. This not only protects internal components but also improves durability.
In addition to functional protection, damping at the end of travel significantly enhances user experience. The drawer operates smoothly in the initial sliding phase and transitions into a controlled, soft closing motion near the end. This controlled deceleration creates a quiet, stable, and refined closing behavior, which is commonly associated with high-end appliances.
The following demonstration shows the actual operating effect of a refrigerator drawer with an integrated damper: smooth movement during normal sliding, followed by gentle and controlled closing at the final stage.
