Airtac HLH Side Rail Type Precision Slide Cylinder HLH16x10-S
The AirTAC Airtac HLH Side Rail Type Precision Slide Cylinder HLH16x10-S is a genuine HLH slide-table cylinder, 16 mm bore: a double-acting dual-rod air cylinder integrated with a miniature linear roller-ball guide so the table travels straight with high rigidity and low deflection. It delivers about 80.4 N of push at 0.5 MPa. A floating joint spares the rod from side torque; the magnet is fitted as standard.

About the Airtac HLH Side Rail Type Precision Slide Cylinder HLH16x10-S
The AirTAC HLH16X10S is a double-acting dual-rod slide-table cylinder pairing an air cylinder with a precision miniature linear roller-ball guide. The 16 mm bore and 10 mm stroke deliver moderate thrust for guided short-stroke positioning. The dual rods double the push force, and the floating joint prevents side torque from stressing the rods. The integrated roller-ball guide delivers best-in-class straightness and rigidity in a compact precision assembly.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with a standard sintered NdFeB magnet for position sensing; compatible sensor switches are CMSH, DMSH, and EMSH series, fitting the magnetic-switch slots on the body. We verify exact thrust, dimensions, allowable load, and moment values from the manufacturer datasheet or on-page specification table on request.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC HL slide-table data. Max working pressure is 0.7 MPa. The table rides on an integrated linear guide — do not apply strong impact or large moment. Allowable load and moment are published as tables and curves, and overall dimensions vary per stroke — ask us and we confirm from the datasheet.
How to choose
The 16 mm bore provides higher thrust than the 10 mm bore while maintaining the HLH sub-family's hallmark guiding straightness. Choose HLH when you need precision-assembly quality, four-direction body mounting, and three port groups for flexible pneumatic plumbing. Stroke must stay within the published range for the HLH16 bore.
The HLH series has no adjuster or shock-absorber option; cushioning is via bumper. Thread standard is PT. For allowable load, moment, and kinetic energy, contact us to confirm against the published Wmax, Emax, moment tables, and deflection curves rather than estimating.
Applications
Component Insertion
The 10 mm stroke with roller-ball guide straightness pushes small parts into a fixture or socket with repeatable precision and minimal lateral deflection.
Small-Parts Transfer
A 16 mm bore dual-rod guided slide shuttles small workpieces between processing stations on a precision table that resists deflection under load.
Clamping Positioner
Short-stroke guided clamping or holding action on an assembly line uses the roller-ball guide's rigidity to keep the clamp face aligned.
FAQ
Why choose the HLH sub-family over HLS or HLQ for this bore?
HLH uses a precision miniature linear roller-ball integrated guide that offers the best straightness and precision-assembly quality among the HL sub-families. It also mounts in four directions and provides three port groups for plumbing flexibility. HLS uses a cross-roller guide for maximum rigidity and load, while HLQ uses a ball-bearing guide with anti-rust and dust-proof characteristics.
How do I confirm allowable load and moment for the HLH16X10S?
Allowable load, moment, and kinetic energy are published as Wmax, Emax, and moment tables along with deflection curves in the manufacturer datasheet. Contact us with your application details and we will confirm the exact values against those published tables so you do not rely on estimates.
