A roller/damper is configured for use with an associated sliding object such as a drawer that is movable between a first position and a second position alon g a rail having a rack gear disposed thereon. The roller/damper includes a roller having an outside diameter that is configured for movement slang the rail. A gear hauling is disposed adjacent the roller and has gear teeth formed thereon for engaging the rail rack gear. A damper rotor is positioned in the gear hauling. The roller, gea r housing and rotor rotate about a common axis. A damping material is disposed about t he damper rotor within the gear housing for damping rotation! of the gear housi ng relative to the rotor. A shaft extends through the roller, the gear housing and the rotor. The rotor is faced to the shaft and the roller and gear housing are rotational about the shaft independent of one another. The roller rotates as it moves along the associated rail, and when the gear housing, moving along the rail with the roller, engages th e rack gear, movement of the roller/damper is dampened by the engagement of the gea r housing with the rack gear. |
