Description
Hettich Actro 5D Runner 520mm For Wooden Drawers
Hettich Actro 5D runner 520mm is a full extension undermount drawer slide designed for combining with a wooden drawer, so the mechanism stays out of sight while the drawer uses the full cabinet depth. The soft-close Silent opening system controls movement, which helps drawers run smoothly to the back and close gently in everyday use. The runner is rated to a 154 lb (70 kg) load class XL to EN 15338, Level 3, so it supports heavy drawer contents in line with a recognized performance standard. This right hand model with manufacturer part number 9257107 is built as part of the Actro 5D system, so it brings the same adjustment and running performance across a cabinet run.
Key Actro 5D Runner Details For Daily Use
- The full extension runner lets the wooden drawer travel the full 520mm length, giving access to items at the back of the drawer without working around overhang or partial travel.
- The soft-close Silent opening system manages the last part of the stroke, which reduces slamming and helps protect drawer fronts and cabinet frames from repeated impact.
- The 154 lb (70 kg) XL load class to EN 15338, Level 3, means the slide is built for high load applications, so heavier contents such as tools or dense hardware stay supported.
- The undermount design supports the drawer from below, keeping hardware hidden and giving a clean interior while still carrying weight along the runner length.
- Galvanized steel construction gives the runner a robust metal body, which supports consistent movement of the ball bearing mechanism under rated loads over time.
Actro 5D Undermount Adjustment And Setup
The Actro 5D runner uses a tool-less height adjustment up to plus 3 mm, so the installer can raise the drawer front slightly to line up with adjacent fronts without reaching for tools. Side adjustment up to plus or minus 1.5 mm at the runner lets the drawer front shift left or right in small increments, which helps close up reveals between neighboring fronts. Tilt adjustment up to plus 4 mm allows the drawer front angle to be changed, so top and bottom gaps can be balanced along tall fronts. Radial adjustment up to plus or minus 1.5 mm fine-tunes the seating of the drawer on the runner, which supports smooth engagement of the soft-close action.
Using This Soft-Close Full Extension Undermount Slide
Where This 520mm Runner Fits In Cabinet Projects
This full extension undermount runner in 520mm length works in cabinet layouts built to suit that drawer depth, so the wooden drawer box can match the slide travel. Because the slide installs under a wooden drawer, the side walls can stay clean, which is useful where interior appearance matters. The right hand configuration pairs with a corresponding left side runner in the same Actro 5D family so the drawer is supported on both sides. Load class XL at 70 kg under EN 15338, Level 3, means the runner is intended for higher load drawers, so it suits storage where contents may be dense, such as hardware, fasteners, or other heavy items.
Why Actro 5D Adjustments Support Precise Results
The Actro 5D runner provides tool-less height adjustment up to plus 3 mm directly at the slide, so final alignment of the drawer front can be done after the drawer is hanging, reducing the need for rework on the drawer box. Side adjustment of plus or minus 1.5 mm gives enough range to even out small differences in cabinet construction, which helps maintain consistent vertical reveals through a bank of drawers. Tilt adjustment up to plus 4 mm lets the front be racked slightly, so the top and bottom gaps can be matched on tall fronts or deep drawers. Radial adjustment up to plus or minus 1.5 mm helps optimize how the drawer engages the soft-close Silent opening system, which supports smooth closing without binding along the runner.
