The Hettich Actro 5D is a full-extension, soft-close undermount drawer slide in a 500mm nominal length, rated 154 lb per pair. The right-hand cabinet member conceals beneath the drawer box and mounts directly to frameless cabinet sides, keeping the interior hardware-free when the drawer is open.
A 500mm nominal length suits drawers built for deeper base cabinets, typically 20- to 22-inch-deep runs where a shorter slide would leave usable cabinet depth untapped. Deep pot-and-pan drawers, full-depth utensil pulls, and file drawers in a deeper-than-standard cabinet are the natural fits. Full extension means the back of the box clears the cabinet opening completely, so a chef reaching for a stockpot or a designer pulling samples from a storage drawer gets to everything without tilting the box. The 154 lb per-pair rating gives a comfortable margin for cast-iron cookware, stone tile samples, or stacked files — loads that would push a standard 100 lb slide to its limit.
The Actro 5D is built from steel with a zinc finish, the standard corrosion-resistant surface for slides that spend their lives inside dry cabinet interiors. Ball bearings run in formed steel raceways the full length of travel, so the pull stays smooth whether the drawer is light or fully loaded. The undermount design keeps all hardware beneath the box — the drawer interior and the visible sides of the box stay clean. Cabinet-side mounting is direct to the frameless panel, no rear mounting brackets needed in a standard frameless installation. The slide accepts drawer sides between 1/2 inch and 5/8 inch thick, so it suits both thinner economy drawer stock and standard 5/8 inch Baltic birch or melamine sides.
Cabinet shops running production frameless kitchens reach for the Actro 5D when a client specifies a soft-close undermount with a real load rating and multi-direction front adjustment. The 5D adjustment system matters to installers who need to true a door-matched drawer front after the box is hung, without pulling the drawer back out. Designers specifying deep base cabinets for pantry pulls or appliance garages will find the 500mm length covers the cabinet depth without the awkward fit of a longer slide trimmed down. Homeowners replacing worn or noisy slides in a 20-inch-deep frameless cabinet get a straightforward drop-in upgrade, provided the drawer box is built to the Hettich specification for side thickness and notching.
One right-hand and one left-hand cabinet member, plus the corresponding drawer members for each side. The Actro 5D is sold as individual handed members; order both orientations to complete one drawer installation.
Yes. The Actro 5D accepts drawer sides from 1/2 inch to 5/8 inch thick, so thinner drawer stock within that range is supported. Build the box to Hettich's published specification for notching and rear drilling.
The listed cabinet type is frameless. Face-frame installations require rear mounting support; check Hettich's face-frame bracket compatibility for the Actro 5D before specifying it in a framed cabinet.
It means the installed drawer front can be adjusted in five directions — height, side, depth, tilt, and one additional axis — after the box is hung, without removing the drawer. That range of adjustment makes it practical to dial in a tight, consistent reveal on frameless face panels.
Per pair, which is the standard way load ratings are stated for undermount slides. A complete installation of two slides — one left, one right — carries 154 lb combined.
When the cabinet is deep, the drawer is heavy, and the front adjustment has to be precise, the Actro 5D 500mm right-hand member delivers the length, rating, and adjustment range to handle all three without compromise.
