The Blum TANDEM plus BLUMOTION 569A is a 24 inch heavy-duty undermount drawer slide that delivers full-extension travel and integrated BLUMOTION soft-close action, engineered for demanding cabinetry where drawer weight and daily cycle count are both high.
The 569A series is the right call when the drawer is going to be heavy and the close needs to be quiet. Think wide pot-and-pan drawers in a production kitchen run, deep spice pull-outs that get reached for dozens of times a day, or base cabinet drawers carrying stacked dishware in a high-end residential build. Full extension means the back of the drawer is as reachable as the front, which matters when the drawer is packed. BLUMOTION soft-close means the close is damped and controlled every cycle, not just at the start of a project. Cabinet shops running volume residential or multi-family work find the combination of heavy-duty capacity and integrated soft-close reduces callbacks and simplifies ordering — one slide handles the close without a separate add-on component.
The slide is built from steel throughout, with a zinc finish that protects the members through years of indoor service. The roller bearing system runs on precision nylon rollers rather than ball bearings, which keeps operation smooth and quiet without sacrificing travel consistency. BLUMOTION damping is part of the slide assembly — when the drawer is pushed to within the capture zone, the damper takes over and brings it to a silent, controlled stop. The 3/16 inch side clearance per side is tighter than the half-inch standard on side-mount ball-bearing slides, so the drawer box can be built wider relative to the same cabinet opening. This is an indoor, dry-environment slide; zinc plating is not rated for wet or exterior conditions.
Custom cabinet shops and production facilities will recognize the 569A as the heavy-duty tier of the TANDEM plus BLUMOTION family — the slide to specify when a standard-rated undermount would be undersized for the application. Designers specifying full kitchens can call it out confidently on base cabinets carrying pots, small appliances, or pantry pull-outs. Contractors sourcing for installs benefit from the tool-free locking device release and the front adjustment built into Blum's undermount system. The drawer box must be built to Blum's specification for the TANDEM family: size the box to the nominal 24 inch slide length, use compatible drawer side thickness, and include the rear notch and locking-device drilling the system requires. Locking devices are sold separately and are series-specific to the TANDEM family.
This is the heavy-duty 569A series within the TANDEM plus BLUMOTION family. A confirmed load rating for this specific SKU was not available in the source data — check the structured spec block on this page or the Blum product documentation for the rated capacity before specifying for load-critical applications.
BLUMOTION damping is integrated into the slide and is designed to function across the slide's rated load range. The damper controls the final travel regardless of drawer weight, within the rated capacity of the series.
The TANDEM family is offered in versions matched to specific drawer side thicknesses. Confirm the side thickness specification for this 569A SKU against Blum's published TANDEM drawer box requirements before building the box — the locking device and slide version must match the side thickness used.
TANDEM undermount slides can be installed in face-frame cabinets with the appropriate Blum rear mounting brackets or sockets, which are sold separately and are specific to the TANDEM series. In a frameless cabinet the slide mounts directly to the cabinet side panel.
Locking devices are not included with the slide and must be ordered separately. Use Blum TANDEM-series front locking devices — locking devices from other brands or other Blum series are not compatible with this slide.
When drawer weight, daily use, and a quiet close all matter in the same cabinet, the TANDEM plus BLUMOTION 569A at 24 inches gives you full extension and integrated BLUMOTION damping in one heavy-duty undermount package.
