Hettich Actro 5D 500mm Drawer Slide Performance

Hettich Actro 5D 500mm drawer slide is a full extension runner designed for combining with a wooden drawer, so the slide stays out of sight while the drawer uses the complete available depth. The soft-close Silent opening system cushions movement, which helps drawers close gently and reduces impact on the cabinet over time. The runner uses ball bearing technology, supporting smooth travel that feels consistent even on heavy daily-use drawers. This model is the left hand version, giving installers a defined part for the left side of the drawer system. The runner is rated in load classes XS (10 kg), L (40 kg), and XL (70 kg), providing a clear performance range when pairing with appropriate drawers. The load capacity is tested to EN 15338, Level 3, giving a lab-verified benchmark that supports use in demanding furniture and cabinet applications.

Key Runner Details That Help Every Install

• This full extension undermount drawer slide lets the drawer open to its full depth, which improves access to stored items and reduces the need to reach into the cabinet.
• The soft-close Silent opening system manages drawer movement, which supports controlled closing and helps limit slamming in high-use residential or commercial spaces.
• Ball bearing construction in the runner supports smooth sliding action, helping drawers open with less resistance and providing a more refined feel in finished cabinetry.
• The load classes XS (10 kg), L (40 kg), and XL (70 kg) define working ranges, helping installers match drawers to an 88 lb-class runner for appropriate furniture projects.
• Galvanized steel construction gives the runner a durable base material, which supports long-term function of the slide components inside typical cabinet environments.

Adjustment And Fit Details For Precise Drawers

This Actro 5D undermount drawer slide provides tool-less height adjustment up to plus 3 mm, which helps correct minor vertical misalignments between the drawer front and the cabinet. Side adjustment up to plus or minus 1.5 mm allows fine tuning of reveals, helping achieve even gaps across multi-drawer stacks. Tilt adjustment up to plus 4 mm adds control over the drawer front angle, which is useful when aligning larger or taller drawer fronts. Radial adjustment up to plus or minus 1.5 mm supports squaring the drawer movement relative to the cabinet, helping reduce rubbing and improving running behavior. Together, these integrated adjustments give installers a range of corrections directly at the runner, saving time on rework of the wooden drawer box or cabinet.

How Actro 5D Adjustments Support Clean Results

The Actro 5D system integrates tool-less height adjustment up to plus 3 mm directly at the runner, which lets installers raise or lower the drawer front quickly to line up with adjacent fronts. Side adjustment up to plus or minus 1.5 mm helps correct small lateral shifts so reveals can be even across cabinet banks without altering the drawer box. The plus 4 mm tilt adjustment range provides control over the top-to-bottom angle of the drawer front, supporting flush alignment on tall fronts that might otherwise appear skewed. Radial adjustment up to plus or minus 1.5 mm lets the runner fine tune how the drawer tracks in and out, which can reduce contact with cabinet sides and help maintain smooth ball bearing travel. These combined adjustments turn the runner into a key alignment tool on site, helping dial in finished results while limiting extra time rebuilding drawer components.
