Airtac HLH Side Rail Type Precision Slide Cylinder HLH16x60-S
The AirTAC Airtac HLH Side Rail Type Precision Slide Cylinder HLH16x60-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 HLH16x60-S
The HLH16X60-S is a double-acting dual-rod slide table cylinder that integrates an air cylinder with a miniature linear roller-ball guide. The moving table travels straight with minimal deflection, and the dual rod doubles the thrust compared to a single-rod design. A floating joint spares the rod from side torque. The 16 mm bore delivers moderate thrust over a 60 mm stroke.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with a standard magnet for position sensing via CMSH, DMSH, or EMSH switches. The HLH guide features precision-assembly straightness and offers three port groups plus four mounting directions. We confirm thrust, dimensions, and allowable load-moment from the datasheet or on-page 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
The 16 mm bore suits applications needing moderate thrust with a 60 mm stroke. The HLH miniature roller-ball guide is chosen when best straightness and precision assembly matter most - it mounts in four directions and provides three port groups for flexible routing. Stroke must stay within the bore's published table. Thread is PT (tapered). For load and moment sizing, we reference the published Wmax, Emax, and moment tables as well as deflection curves.
Applications
Assembly Stage
Positions components accurately on an assembly line using the roller-ball guide's straightness over a 60 mm travel.
Gripper Traverse
Shifts a gripper laterally for pick-and-place with the dual-rod slide's rigidity and low deflection.
Small-Parts Transfer
Moves small workpieces between stations with precise 60 mm guided travel and three port-group options.
FAQ
Why choose the HLH guide type over HLS or HLQ?
HLH uses a miniature linear roller-ball integrated guide for the best straightness and precision assembly. It offers three port groups and four mounting directions, unlike the HLS cross-roller or HLQ ball-bearing tables. Choose HLH when straightness and flexible port and mount orientation are the priority.
What is the maximum operating pressure for the HLH16X60-S?
Maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa. For the 16 mm bore, the operating range is 0.15-0.7 MPa. Meter-out speed control keeps travel at 50-500 mm/s. We confirm allowable load and moment from the published datasheet tables and deflection curves.
