Airtac HLH Side Rail Type Precision Slide Cylinder HLH16x15-S
The AirTAC Airtac HLH Side Rail Type Precision Slide Cylinder HLH16x15-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 HLH16x15-S
The AirTAC HLH16X15S is a double-acting dual-rod slide-table cylinder integrating an air cylinder with a precision miniature linear roller-ball guide. The 16 mm bore and 15 mm stroke deliver moderate thrust for guided positioning over a slightly longer travel than the 10 mm stroke variant. Dual rods double the push force, and the floating joint shields the rods from side torque. The roller-ball guide achieves superior straightness and rigidity in a compact precision body.
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 body's magnetic-switch slots. We confirm exact thrust, dimensions, allowable load, and moment figures 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 gives higher thrust than smaller bores while retaining the HLH sub-family's guiding straightness. Choose HLH for precision-assembly quality, four-direction body mounting, and three port groups for flexible pneumatic connections. The 15 mm stroke must fall within the published range for the HLH16 bore.
No adjuster or shock-absorber option is offered on the HLH series; cushioning is by bumper. Thread standard is PT. For allowable load, moment, and kinetic energy sizing, route the application details to us so we can verify against the published Wmax, Emax, moment tables, and deflection curves.
Applications
Precision Push Station
The 15 mm stroke with roller-ball guide straightness pushes a workpiece to a precise datum with low deflection, ideal for a precision assembly push station.
Stopper Gate
A guided slide acts as a short-stroke stopper gate on a conveyor, using the roller-ball guide's rigidity to hold position against passing parts.
Indexing Transfer
The dual-rod guided slide indexes a small part carrier between two positions with repeatable 15 mm travel and excellent straightness.
FAQ
What is the operating pressure range for the HLH16X15S?
For the 16 mm bore the operating pressure range is 0.15 to 0.7 MPa (22 to 100 psi). The maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa, and proof pressure is 1.2 MPa (175 psi). Use meter-out speed control to keep travel within 50 to 500 mm/s.
Is the magnet optional or standard on this cylinder?
The magnet is standard on every HLH series slide-table cylinder; it is not an option you can decline. The sintered NdFeB magnet enables position sensing with AirTAC CMSH, DMSH, or EMSH series sensor switches, which fit into the magnetic-switch slots on the body.
