Hettich Actro 5D 480 mm Soft-Close Full Extension 88 lb Undermount Drawer Slide, Right Hand, Zinc, 9257078

Hettich Actro 5D Undermount Drawer Slide For Precise Right-Hand Installation

The Hettich Actro 5D is a 480mm right-hand undermount drawer slide built for frameless cabinets — a concealed, full-extension runner with integrated soft-close, ball bearing travel, and an 88 lb capacity per pair, made for drawer sides from 1/2 to 5/8 inch thick.

Key Features

• Right-hand single — this is the right-hand cabinet member; pair it with the matching left-hand slide to complete one drawer installation.
• Full extension — the drawer travels the full 480mm nominal length, bringing the entire box out to the cabinet face for complete access.
• Integrated soft-close — a built-in damper catches the drawer near the end of travel and settles it shut quietly, with no separate add-on needed.
• Ball bearing carriage — hardened steel bearings in full-length raceways deliver a smooth, precise pull under load across thousands of cycles.
• 88 lb capacity per pair — handles heavily loaded kitchen, bath, and utility drawers with confidence.
• For 1/2 to 5/8 inch drawer sides — engineered for the most common drawer box thickness range, including standard dovetailed and doweled boxes.

Where the Actro 5D Fits the Work

The 480mm length targets drawers built for deeper base cabinets — spice pull-outs, utensil drawers, and file or media storage where a full 19-inch-class interior depth is in play. Full extension means nothing stays buried at the back: the entire drawer box clears the cabinet opening so the contents are reachable without reaching in blind. In a production frameless shop, having dedicated right-hand and left-hand members stocked separately means pulling exactly what each drawer position needs rather than sorting through unhanded pairs. The Actro 5D fits that workflow, supporting consistent, repeatable installs across a full run of cabinets.

Construction and Finish

Steel members with a zinc finish give the slide durability for years of indoor residential and light commercial service. The ball bearing carriage is the Actro line's defining construction detail: where roller-bearing undermounts use molded nylon wheels, the Actro runs on steel balls in formed raceways, which translates to tighter travel tolerances and a more controlled feel under load. The zinc finish is a functional, corrosion-resistant coating suited to interior cabinet conditions — not a decorative surface, since the slide rides concealed beneath the drawer box once the drawer is hung.

Who Should Specify This Slide

This slide suits production cabinet shops, custom fabricators, and millwork operations building frameless European-style casework with standard 1/2 to 5/8 inch drawer sides. The Actro 5D is a step up from roller-bearing undermounts for buyers who want ball bearing precision and soft-close damping in the same concealed package. Designers and contractors specifying 480mm-depth drawers with full-access requirements will find the extension class and capacity adequate for most residential drawer loads. This is an indoor, frameless application slide — it is not configured for face-frame cabinet installation without the appropriate series-specific rear mounting brackets.

The Right Runner for Precise, Repeatable Results

Stock the right-hand and left-hand Actro 5D members together, build the drawer box to Hettich's specification, and every drawer in the run comes off the same reliable concealed platform.
