Zinc Ball-Bearing Undermount Slide Built for High-Capacity Frameless Work

The Hettich Actro 5D is a 600mm full-extension, soft-close undermount drawer slide engineered for frameless cabinetry that demands more than standard capacity. This is the left-hand member of the pair, sold as a bulk single, rated 154 lb per pair — putting it firmly in heavy-duty undermount territory for drawers built with 1/2 to 5/8 inch sides.

Key Features

• 154 lb capacity per pair — well above the typical 90 to 110 lb undermount range, suited to loaded kitchen, pantry, and utility drawers.
• Full extension — the entire 600mm drawer travels out to the cabinet face, putting the back of the box within easy reach.
• Integrated soft-close — a built-in damper catches the drawer near the end of travel and settles it shut without a slam.
• 5D adjustment capability — the Actro 5D system supports five-axis front adjustment through the series' locking devices for precise post-install alignment.
• Ball-bearing carriage — hardened steel ball bearings deliver smooth, consistent travel under heavy loads across years of daily cycling.
• Left-hand orientation — this is one member of a working pair; the matching right-hand slide must be ordered separately to complete a drawer installation.

Where the 154 lb Rating Changes the Job

Most concealed undermounts top out at 90 to 110 lb per pair — enough for a standard kitchen drawer but short of what a deep pantry pull-out, a double-bin waste drawer, or a heavy-duty utility drawer actually carries loaded. At 154 lb per pair, the Actro 5D covers those applications without stepping up to a side-mount slide or sacrificing the clean, concealed look of an undermount runner. The 600mm nominal length fits drawer boxes built to that depth, making this a natural choice for deeper base cabinets and tall utility pulls where shorter undermount lengths fall short.

Steel, Zinc, and Ball-Bearing Construction

The Actro 5D is built from steel with a zinc finish — a corrosion-resistant, functional coating that holds up through indoor service without contributing visual weight to the installation. Unlike roller-bearing undermounts, the ball-bearing carriage maintains smooth travel under sustained heavy loads, which matters when a drawer is regularly pulled out fully loaded. The Actro 5D's construction is designed for indoor cabinet work; it is not rated for wet or exterior environments.

For Frameless Shops Running Deeper Drawers

This slide is specified for frameless cabinet construction — the runner mounts directly to the cabinet side panel without rear brackets. Production cabinet shops building deep base cabinets, designers specifying concealed hardware for pantry towers, and kitchen installers handling heavy drawer loads all land on the Actro 5D when standard-capacity undermounts are not sufficient. The 600mm length suits the deeper drawer runs common in European-style frameless cabinetry, and the 5D adjustment range supports tight front tolerances on large production runs without per-drawer shimming.

A Concealed Runner That Keeps Up With Heavy Drawers

When the drawer load outpaces what standard undermounts are built for, the Actro 5D's 154 lb capacity and full-extension travel keep the job clean, concealed, and moving without compromise.
