Product Description
Shimano 10G7E Oscillating Slider (RD15467)
The Shimano 10G7E Oscillating Slider (RD15467) is a vital mechanical link in the spool stroke system of Shimano spinning reels. It works in direct tandem with the Oscillating Gear to convert the rotational energy of the handle into the vertical "up-and-down" motion of the spool.
This part is often referred to as a "cross-block" or "slider block." It is attached to the main spool shaft and features a precision-cut groove on its underside. As the oscillating gear rotates, a pin on that gear travels through the groove of this slider, forcing the spool shaft to move back and forth. If this part is worn or the track is damaged, the spool may develop a "knock," or the line lay on the spool will become uneven and bunched.

Compatibility & Fitment

Key Features
-
Stabilized Spool Stroke: Engineered to minimize "shaft play," ensuring the spool travels in a perfectly straight line without wobbling.
-
Low Friction Track: The internal groove is highly polished to allow the oscillating gear pin to glide smoothly, reducing the effort required to turn the handle.
-
Corrosion Resistance: Typically features a protective coating to prevent the "white powder" (zinc oxidation) that can occur if water enters the reel body.
-
Direct OEM Fit: Guaranteed to match the diameter of the main spool shaft for a secure, wiggle-free connection.
Maintenance & Installation Tips
-
The "Set Screw": This slider is usually held to the spool shaft by a tiny Oscillating Slider Screw (RD14397). When reinstalling, ensure this screw is tight and consider using a tiny drop of low-strength threadlocker. If this screw backs out, the spool will stop moving and could jam the entire reel.
-
Lubrication: This is a high-friction area. Apply a generous amount of Shimano DG06 (Ship Grease) into the slider's track and onto the guide rails on the reel body.
-
Inspect the Pin: When replacing a slider, always look at the pin on the Oscillating Gear. If the pin is flattened or burred, it will quickly ruin your new slider's track.
Pro Tip: If your reel makes a rhythmic "click" or "thump" at the very top or bottom of every handle turn, the slider or the gear pin is likely worn at the "turnaround" point. For a detailed layout of the internal drive system, refer to the PDF schematics at www.reelschematic.com.
