Airtac HLH Side Rail Type Precision Slide Cylinder HLH16X35S
The AirTAC Airtac HLH Side Rail Type Precision Slide Cylinder HLH16X35S 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 HLH16X35S
A slide-table cylinder combines an air cylinder with a linear guide so the moving table moves along a precise straight path. The AirTAC HLH16X35S is a double-acting dual-rod slide table using a precision miniature linear roller-ball integrated guide that provides outstanding straightness and precision assembly. Dual rods double the thrust versus a single-rod unit, while a floating joint spares the rods from side torque. At 16 mm bore and 35 mm stroke, this model delivers moderate thrust for compact guided-motion applications. The HLH series supports four mounting directions and three port groups for versatile installation.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. Every unit ships with a sintered NdFeB magnet as standard, and the body has magnetic-switch slots that accept AirTAC CMSH, DMSH, and EMSH sensor switches. We verify the exact thrust, dimensions, allowable load, and moment figures 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
Select the HLH sub-family when straightness and precision assembly matter more than raw rigidity. The 16 mm bore gives moderate thrust for small to mid-range guided loads; step up to bore 20 if your application needs higher push force. The 35 mm stroke must be within the HLH bore-16 range shown in the AirTAC catalog. HLH has no adjuster or shock-absorber option; cushioning is via a TPU bumper at each end. Thread is PT as standard; request G or NPT thread if needed. We confirm allowable load, moment, and deflection from published datasheet tables and curves before you order.
Applications
Small-Parts Pick-and-Place
Roller-ball precision picks and places micro-mechanical parts across a 35 mm stroke with repeatable positioning and minimal deflection.
Transfer Gate Slide
Dual-rod stability gates small product between conveyor lanes in a 16 mm bore compact form factor with three port-group options for tight layouts.
Compact Assembly Stage
Four-direction mounting integrates the HLH16 into a multi-axis assembly fixture where a 35 mm stroke drives a pressing or alignment operation.
FAQ
Does the HLH16X35S come with a magnet, or is it an option?
The magnet is standard on every HLH unit; S in the model code confirms a magnet is fitted. You cannot order this model without a magnet. The body has slots for AirTAC CMSH, DMSH, and EMSH sensor switches, which you add as needed for position detection.
Can I use a shock absorber or adjustable stopper on the HLH?
No. The HLH sub-family has no adjuster or shock-absorber option. Cushioning is provided by a TPU bumper at each end of the stroke. If you need adjustable rubber stoppers or shock absorbers, choose the HLS or HLQ sub-families, which carry A and B adjuster codes. HLH relies on its bumper cushion and precision roller-ball guide for end-of-stroke deceleration.
