Airtac HLH Side Rail Type Precision Slide Cylinder HLH16x5-S
The AirTAC Airtac HLH Side Rail Type Precision Slide Cylinder HLH16x5-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 HLH16x5-S
The AirTAC HLH16X5-S is a double-acting dual-rod slide table cylinder that integrates an air cylinder with a miniature roller-ball linear guide for precise straight travel. The dual rods double the thrust without needing side torque, while a floating joint protects the rods. This bore 16, stroke 5 model delivers higher thrust in a compact precision assembly.
As a genuine AirTAC part, it comes with a standard magnet for CMSH/DMSH/EMSH sensor switches. We confirm exact thrust, dimensions, and load-moment limits from the datasheet or on-page spec 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 this bore 16 model when you need more push than smaller bores but still require short stroke precision. The HLH miniature roller-ball guide offers the best straightness for precision assembly and mounts in four directions with three port groups. Stroke must be selected within the bore's datasheet range. Route your allowable load and moment sizing to us, as these are published in tables and curves.
Applications
Precision Assembly
Guides parts accurately for small-part assembly stages needing best straightness.
Gripper Traverse
Moves grippers along a precise linear path for pick-and-place operations.
Workpiece Transfer
Transfers small components between stations with minimal deflection.
FAQ
Is the magnet standard on the HLH16X5-S?
Yes, the S in the model code means it is magnet-fitted. The magnet is standard across the line for use with CMSH, DMSH, or EMSH sensor switches.
What is the maximum working pressure?
The maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa (100 psi). For bore 16, the operating pressure range is 0.15-0.7 MPa (22-100 psi).
