Hettich Actro 5D 270mm Soft-Close Full Extension Undermount Drawer Slides, Ball Bearing Right hand Zinc - 9257062
Description
Hettich Actro 5D Drawer Slide For Wooden Drawers
Hettich Actro 5D drawer slide is a full extension undermount runner designed for combining with wooden drawers, so the slide stays hidden while the drawer opens fully for clear access. The runner handles an 88 lb load capacity to EN 15338, Level 3, which supports demanding residential or light commercial drawer loads within that rating. Its soft-close function lets the drawer close gently, helping reduce slamming on cabinet fronts and joinery. The optional Push to open Silent opening system works with this runner, giving you the choice of mechanical push-to-open operation when paired correctly. At 270 mm length, this right hand runner suits shorter-depth drawer applications built around that nominal size. The galvanized steel construction provides a zinc finish, which helps resist corrosion in normal indoor woodworking environments and keeps the moving components operating smoothly.
Actro 5D Undermount Runner Details That Matter
- This full extension runner lets drawers travel their full length, so the contents can be reached without working around a partially hidden back section, which is useful on smaller 270 mm drawers.
- The design is for combining with wooden drawers, so the runner mounts under the drawer box and leaves the sides clean, which supports modern cabinet aesthetics and easier drawer side machining.
- Soft-close functionality slows the drawer in the final part of travel, which reduces impact at the front and can help protect fronts, slides, and joinery from repeated hard closing.
- The runner is tested to an 88 lb load capacity to EN 15338, Level 3, giving a defined performance standard for drawers carrying loads within that rating in typical woodworking and cabinet applications.
- A galvanized steel construction with zinc finish provides a durable metal running surface, which supports consistent slide performance in indoor cabinet environments where moisture is moderate.
Undermount Fit, Length, And 5D Adjustment
This undermount runner is specified at 270 mm length, which sets the core dimension for matching your cabinet depth and drawer box length in that size range. Tool-less height adjustment up to plus 3 mm lets you move the drawer front vertically on the runner without extra tools, which helps align fronts with adjacent faces. Side adjustment up to plus or minus 1.5 mm lets you fine-tune the left-right gap, supporting even reveals between drawer fronts. Tilt adjustment up to plus 4 mm provides control over the angle of the drawer front, useful for aligning top and bottom edges on taller fronts. Radial adjustment up to plus or minus 1.5 mm supports fine positioning of the drawer box relative to the runner, which helps achieve smooth running and consistent closing.
Using This 270mm Soft-Close Runner In Projects
Where This Wooden Drawer Undermount Runner Fits
This 270 mm full extension runner fits cabinet layouts that are built around shorter drawers, such as compact base cabinets or smaller furniture cases where space is limited. The undermount configuration suits wooden drawer boxes because it supports the drawer from beneath, leaving side profiles free for clean joinery or applied design elements. As a right hand runner with part number 9257062, it forms one side of a pair for drawers designed to this system, giving a defined orientation for the slide within the cabinet. Load class options XS (10 kg), L (40 kg), and XL (70 kg) referenced in the system context show that this platform is engineered for a range of drawer loads, and this specific runner is rated at 88 lb within that framework. The soft-close action works well in living areas, kitchens, or offices where quieter closing and reduced impact on cabinetry are valued.
How 5D Adjustment Supports Precise Drawer Alignment
The Actro 5D adjustment range is built into the runner, so height, side, tilt, and radial settings are adjusted on the hardware rather than reworking the wood. Tool-less height adjustment up to plus 3 mm lets you shift the drawer front up to align with adjacent doors and drawers after installation, which reduces layout time. Side adjustment up to plus or minus 1.5 mm allows fine tuning of gaps between fronts, helping achieve consistent reveals even when cabinet walls or faces vary slightly. Tilt adjustment up to plus 4 mm lets you correct front angle, which is especially useful on tall drawer fronts where minor racking would be noticeable. Radial adjustment up to plus or minus 1.5 mm helps set the drawer box depth relation to the front, which contributes to smooth soft-close engagement and reliable full extension. Together, these adjustments support repeatable results across multiple drawers built to the same system.
