Description
Hettich Actro 5D 350mm Drawer Slide Function
Hettich Actro 5D 350mm drawer slide is a full extension undermount drawer runner that moves the drawer fully out of the cabinet opening, giving clear access to contents along the entire drawer length during everyday use. The soft-close action on this runner slows the drawer travel at the end of the stroke, bringing it to a controlled stop that helps reduce slamming impact on the cabinet and drawer joints over time. This runner is designed for combining with a wooden drawer, so the metal hardware remains hidden under the box while the user sees only the wooden sides during operation. The product is a right hand runner, which defines its placement on the right side of the drawer system during installation for consistent motion and alignment. A ball bearing system guides the movement, creating a smooth running action that supports repeatable opening and closing under load.
Key Drawer Runner Details That Support Jobs
- The runner is part of the Hettich Actro 5D system, so it provides 5-way adjustment that helps the installer fine-tune front alignment between multiple drawers for a uniform cabinet look.
- Full extension travel lets the drawer slide completely out to its rated length, improving reach into the back of wooden drawers on kitchen, bath, or shop cabinetry.
- Soft-close operation cushions the last part of the close, helping protect drawer fronts and cabinet frames from repeated impact during normal use.
- The load capacity is defined in load classes XS (10 kg), L (40 kg), and XL (70 kg), so the system can be matched to expected drawer weights within the Actro 5D program.
- The runner uses galvanized steel construction, which provides a hard metal surface at the sliding members that supports long-term motion in typical indoor woodworking environments.
Undermount Slide Mounting And Adjustment Use
This product is an undermount drawer slide for wooden drawers, so it fastens beneath the drawer box, leaving the sides clean and allowing the slide to carry weight from below. Tool-less height adjustment up to plus 3 mm lets the installer shift the drawer front vertically relative to the runner, helping align top and bottom gaps across a bank of drawers without separate tools. Side adjustment up to plus or minus 1.5 mm enables lateral positioning of the drawer front, so reveals at left and right can be balanced after the drawer is hung. Tilt adjustment up to plus 4 mm permits the angle of the drawer front to be changed, which is useful when trying to achieve a consistent diagonal reveal or correcting a slight out-of-square opening. Radial adjustment up to plus or minus 1.5 mm gives another dimension of fine-tuning for the drawer fit within the cabinet opening during final alignment.

Tilt adjustment up to plus 4 mm changes the angle of the drawer front, which helps achieve parallel gaps to adjacent doors or drawers when cabinet conditions or construction introduce slight twist.
