“Emperor” and “Empress” adjustable glides provide a highly popular and cost-effective leveling solution for classroom and cafeteria chairs, desks, restaurant chairs and tables, as well as many other applications.
“Empress” glides are available in non-swivel (Series 005 and Series 018) and swivel (Series 004 and Series 018). “Emperor” glides feature a decorative shell and are available in non-swivel (Series 007 and Series 019) as well as swivel (Series 006 and Series 016).
Standard base diameters include 1-1/8″ and 1-11/16″, with the bases constructed from HDPE or nylon in either a natural white or black color; with a variety of threaded stems, with thread sizes including 1/4-20, 5/16-18, and 3/8-16, and thread lengths ranging from 1/2″ up to 2-1/2″ (hex). All threads are constructed from heavy duty steel with a zinc or black oxide finish.
The floor protection provided by swivel and non-swivel “Emperor” and “Empress” adjustable glides serves to extend the life of flooring surfaces, helping to reduce long-term maintenance costs by eliminating most marring and scratching. The nylon and HDPE materials we use are extremely durable and long lasting and serve to reduce noise and vibration.
Shown below are some common configurations:
