Airtac HLH Side Rail Type Precision Slide Cylinder HLH16x50-S
The AirTAC Airtac HLH Side Rail Type Precision Slide Cylinder HLH16x50-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 HLH16x50-S
The AirTAC HLH16X50S 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 50 model delivers higher thrust over a longer precision stroke.
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
Select the bore 16 size for higher thrust applications while maintaining precision. The HLH guide provides the best straightness for precision assembly, mounting in four directions with three port groups. Ensure the 50 mm stroke fits within the bore's table limits. We can confirm allowable load and moment limits from the published tables and curves on request.
Applications
Precision Assembly
Guides components with high straightness for exact assembly stage positioning.
Part Transfer
Transfers small parts between stations smoothly with minimal deflection.
Gripper Traverse
Positions grippers precisely for automated pick-and-place tasks.
FAQ
How does the dual-rod design affect performance?
The dual rods double the thrust without side torque. The floating joint spares the rod from side torque, ensuring smooth straight travel.
Can I use a shock absorber with this model?
The HLH series does not use adjuster or shock absorber codes. Cushioning is handled by a standard bumper. Maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa.
