Airtac HLH Side Rail Type Precision Slide Cylinder HLH16x30-S
The AirTAC Airtac HLH Side Rail Type Precision Slide Cylinder HLH16x30-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 HLH16x30-S
A slide-table cylinder integrates an air cylinder with a linear guide so the moving table travels in a precise straight line. The AirTAC HLH16X30-S is a double-acting dual-rod slide table built around a precision miniature linear roller-ball integrated guide, delivering excellent straightness and precision assembly. The dual rod doubles the thrust compared to a single-rod design, and a floating joint protects the rods from side torque. With a 16 mm bore and 30 mm stroke, this model provides moderate thrust for compact guided-motion tasks. The HLH series mounts in four directions and offers three port groups for flexible installation.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. A sintered NdFeB magnet is standard on every unit, and the body includes magnetic-switch slots compatible with AirTAC CMSH, DMSH, and EMSH sensor switches. We confirm the exact thrust, dimensions, allowable load, and moment values 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
Choose the HLH sub-family when you need the best straightness and precision assembly in a compact guided slide. The 16 mm bore provides moderate thrust for small to mid-range payloads; select a larger bore if your application demands more push force. Stroke length of 30 mm must fall within the HLH bore-16 stroke range listed in the AirTAC catalog. The HLH miniature roller-ball guide suits clean-environment precision tasks where deflection must be minimised. Thread is PT (parallel) as standard; request G or NPT if your fittings require it. We confirm allowable load, moment, and deflection curves from published datasheet tables before you commit to an order.
Applications
Precision Pick-and-Place
Miniature roller-ball straightness positions small electronic components accurately on a PCB assembly line at 16 mm bore thrust levels.
Assembly Stage Slide
Four-way mounting and three port groups let the HLH16 actuate a pressing or insertion station in tight multi-axis assembly fixtures.
Gripper Traverse
Dual-rod rigidity carries a gripper across a 30 mm stroke for part transfer between conveyor lanes without rod deflection.
FAQ
What makes the HLH guide different from HLS or HLQ slide tables?
HLH uses a precision miniature linear roller-ball integrated guide rather than a cross-roller (HLS) or ball-bearing (HLQ) guide. The HLH guide delivers the best straightness and precision assembly of the four sub-families, mounts in four directions, and provides three port groups for maximum installation flexibility.
What is the maximum operating pressure for the HLH16 bore?
The maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa (100 psi). The operating pressure range for bore 16 is 0.15-0.7 MPa (22-100 psi). Never exceed 0.7 MPa; proof pressure is 1.2 MPa (175 psi) for validation only. We confirm allowable load and moment values from the published datasheet before shipment.
