A drawer slide having first and second rails interconnected by a center rail. The center rail includes a spool configured to provide half-speed travel of the center rail relative to the travel of the first rail. The drawer slide is configured for use with a drawer assembly having a drawer and a chassis. The drawer assembly further includes a radius limiter secured to the center rail. The radius limiter travels at half-speed relative to the drawer. The radius limiter also automatically rotates relative to the travel of the drawer. The chassis includes sides including threaded backing plates, and mounting brackets. The mounting brackets include tri-lobed holes for receipt of a reciprocally shaped washer and a fastener for mounting the brackets to the chassis sides.

The invention relates to a transfer system for transporting objects. It includes a guide rail, which has a light-metal main body and at least one guide element, which is connected to the light-metal main body and has a guide surface. A slide for accommodating at least one object and a bearing, which interacts with the guide element and supports the slide on the guide rail in such a way that the slide can move linearly is also included. The guide rail has at least one magnetic fastening means, which makes it possible to temporarily fasten the guide rail by means of a magnetic clamping device, in particular in order to process the guide surface.

A method includes producing a preform of a guide rail from steel, putting the preform in a holding device so that the preform is held fixed in position, analyzing the preform held in the holding device, a deviation from a straight shape being measured at a plurality of locations along the longitudinal axis. The method further includes irradiating the preform held in the holding device with a laser beam, a surface section being irradiated with the laser beam along the longitudinal axis at a plurality of locations, respectively on one of two side surfaces facing in opposite directions in relation to the first transverse axis, in such a way that it is heated into the plastic range.

A steering shaft having an outer shaft and an inner shaft accommodated therein in a torque-locking, axially displaceable manner and an axial inner stop which projects radially outwards from an outer face of the inner shaft. When the inner shaft is pulled out of the outer shaft, the axial inner stop strikes against an axial outer stop projecting radially inwards from an inner face of the outer shaft, wherein the axial displacement of the inner shaft is limited in the pull-out direction. With regard to simple production of the outer stops with the least possible deformation of the entire cross section of the outer shaft, the outer stop is introduced by at least one forming process into an end portion of the outer shaft, wherein the axis of the direction of introduction in each case forms an angle of more than 20° with the radial direction of the outer shaft.
