Hettich Actro 5D 600mm Soft-Close Full Extension Undermount Drawer Slides, Ball Bearing Right hand Zinc - 9268683
Description
Hettich Actro 5D 600mm Drawer Slide Purpose
Hettich Actro 5D 600mm drawer slide is a full extension runner designed for combining with wooden drawers, so the drawer box stays concealed under the drawer while still opening fully for clear access to stored contents. This runner is soft-close, which slows the drawer during closing for a controlled, quiet shut that reduces impact on the drawer construction over time. The runner is an undermount design, so it supports the drawer from below and leaves the drawer sides clean for a more streamlined cabinet interior. The product is a right hand galvanized steel runner, which places the mechanism on the right side position in the slide system and uses galvanized steel for a robust metal track surface. The runner works within the Actro 5D system, which is built for precise, multi-directional adjustment at the cabinet.
Key Actro 5D Runner Details For Projects
- This runner is a full extension design, allowing the wooden drawer to travel its full length so items at the back are easily reached without having to stretch into the cabinet.
- The runner is specified as soft-close, providing a controlled damping action at the end of travel so drawers close smoothly and reduce slamming forces on fronts and joints.
- The product is a right hand runner, giving a defined side location that helps maintain correct pairing and alignment when installing matched left and right runners.
- The runner is manufactured from galvanized steel, creating a durable metal running surface that resists corrosion in typical interior cabinet environments.
- The system is rated to EN 15338, Level 3, so the specified performance has been tested to a recognized furniture hardware standard for drawer runners.
- The runner is part of the Actro 5D line, which delivers multiple adjustment directions at the cabinet, supporting fine tuning of drawer position after mounting.
Undermount Slide Fit, Load Class, And Adjustment
This undermount drawer slide is specified as a 600mm runner, so it matches cabinet and drawer designs built around that nominal slide length. The SAP description details an 88lb load class L specification, aligning the runner with applications that fit within that load class range. The web description lists load classes XS (10 kg), L (40 kg), and XL (70 kg), tying the Actro 5D family to defined weight ranges that correspond to design choices for drawer contents. The runner provides tool-less height adjustment up to plus 3 mm, side adjustment up to plus or minus 1.5 mm, tilt adjustment up to plus 4 mm and radial adjustment up to plus or minus 1.5 mm, so the installer can shift the drawer position at the slide without separate tools.
Using This Actro 5D Runner In Cabinet Work
Where This Full Extension Runner Fits Best
This full extension undermount drawer slide is intended for combining with wooden drawers, which means the drawer box rides over the concealed runner for a clean appearance and full access. The 600mm runner length lines up with cabinet carcasses planned around that depth, helping drawer sides, backs, and fronts meet the hardware geometry properly. The soft-close function is built into the runner, so every close cycle engages the same controlled damping movement, supporting a consistent feel across a cabinet bank. The right hand orientation places this runner on the right underside of the drawer, working as part of a left and right set to keep the drawer tracking true along its path.
How Actro 5D Adjustments Support Precise Results
The Actro 5D system provides tool-less height adjustment up to plus 3 mm, so the front of a wooden drawer can be shifted vertically on the runner to align with adjacent fronts. Side adjustment up to plus or minus 1.5 mm allows lateral fine tuning, which helps tighten reveals between drawer fronts without reshaping the cabinet. Tilt adjustment up to plus 4 mm lets the installer change the angle of the drawer front relative to the cabinet, useful for matching gaps from top to bottom on tall drawer faces. Radial adjustment up to plus or minus 1.5 mm refines the drawer position relative to the runner geometry, supporting smooth running when fronts, sides, and carcass panels vary slightly. The load capacity to EN 15338, Level 3, ties these adjustments to a tested runner platform, supporting repeatable operation within its specified load class L performance.
