Airtac HLH Side Rail Type Precision Slide Cylinder HLH20X20-S
The AirTAC Airtac HLH Side Rail Type Precision Slide Cylinder HLH20X20-S is a genuine HLH slide-table cylinder, 20 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 125.6 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 HLH20X20-S
The AirTAC HLH20X20-S is a double-acting dual-rod slide table cylinder that integrates an air cylinder with a precision miniature linear roller-ball guide. The 20 mm bore with a 20 mm stroke provides higher thrust through its dual-rod design, while the floating joint protects the rods from side torque. The roller-ball guide delivers the best straightness of the HL sub-families, precision-assembled for applications requiring precise guided travel with minimal deflection.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with a standard sintered NdFeB magnet for position sensing using CMSH, DMSH, or EMSH switches mounted in the body slots. Contact us to confirm thrust, dimensions, and allowable load-moment values from the datasheet or on-page specification table.

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 your application demands the best straightness from a precision-assembled miniature roller-ball guide. The 20 mm bore provides higher thrust for larger workpieces; a bigger bore gives more push. Stroke is 20 mm and should stay within the bore's published stroke table. The HLH body mounts in four directions and offers three port groups for flexible installation. Thread is standard PT. Route load and moment sizing to us - we confirm allowable values from the published Wmax/Emax/moment tables and deflection curves.
Applications
Precision Pick-and-Place
Use the HLH20X20-S to shuttle small electronic components between fixtures with the straightness and low deflection a roller-ball guide provides.
Small-Parts Transfer
Transfer lightweight workpieces across a conveyor station with 20 mm of guided travel and the floating joint protecting the dual rods from side torque.
Assembly Stage Positioning
Index a sub-assembly into position at an assembly station where four-direction mounting and three port groups simplify integration into tight cells.
FAQ
What makes the HLH guide type different from HLS or HLQ?
The HLH uses a precision miniature linear roller-ball integrated guide offering the best straightness among the HL sub-families. It is precision-assembled, mounts in four directions, and offers three port groups. HLS uses cross-rollers for maximum rigidity and load, while HLQ uses ball bearings with anti-rust and dust-proof properties.
What is the maximum operating pressure and speed for this cylinder?
The maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa (100 psi). For the 20 mm bore, the operating range is 0.15-0.7 MPa (22-100 psi). Keep meter-out speed control at or below 500 mm/s. We confirm allowable load and moment from the datasheet.
