Airtac HLH Side Rail Type Precision Slide Cylinder HLH16x25-S
The AirTAC Airtac HLH Side Rail Type Precision Slide Cylinder HLH16x25-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 HLH16x25-S
A slide-table cylinder integrates an air cylinder and a linear guide so the moving table travels straight without rotational drift. The HLH family uses a precision miniature linear roller-ball integrated guide that delivers the best straightness in the range, assembled to tight tolerances. Dual rods double the thrust, and a floating joint isolates the rods from side torque so deflection remains low. This bore 16, stroke 25 model offers moderate thrust for precision-guided tasks, with four mounting orientations and three port groups for versatile installation.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. A magnet is fitted as standard for position sensing. The body carries machined slots compatible with CMSH, DMSH, and EMSH sensor switches. We confirm thrust, overall dimensions, allowable load, and moment from the AirTAC 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
Bore 16 delivers moderate thrust suitable for compact precision work; a bigger bore gives more push, so match the bore to your load requirement. The HLH roller-ball guide is selected when straightness and precision assembly are paramount. For heavier loads choose HLS cross-roller; for anti-rust, dust-proof service use HLQ ball-bearing; for reduced height select HLF. The 25 mm stroke is within the bore 16 range; confirm travel against the stroke table. HLH has no adjuster option; cushion is bumper-based. Thread is PT. Load, moment, and deflection are published as tables and curves - route sizing to us.
Applications
Precision Alignment Stage
Slides a fixture into exact alignment at an inspection or assembly station with roller-ball straightness over a 25 mm stroke.
Small-Parts Sorting
Indexes parts to a diverter lane with consistent guided travel and low deflection under side load.
Synchronized Transfer
Coordinates a 25 mm guided shift with an adjacent actuator to hand off components between stations.
FAQ
What stroke options are available for bore 16 HLH, and how do I pick one?
Bore 16 HLH models are offered in standard strokes listed in the AirTAC datasheet. This 25 mm stroke falls within that range. Select the shortest stroke that covers your required travel to minimize overall length and deflection; longer strokes increase lever arm on the guide.
How are allowable load and moment confirmed for the HLH16X25-S?
Allowable load, moment, and deflection are published as tables and curves in the AirTAC datasheet for each bore and stroke. Contact us with your load and moment conditions and we will confirm sizing against the published Wmax, Mmax, and deflection data.
