Airtac HLH Side Rail Type Precision Slide Cylinder HLH20X25-S
The AirTAC Airtac HLH Side Rail Type Precision Slide Cylinder HLH20X25-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 HLH20X25-S
The AirTAC HLH20X25-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 25 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 over a slightly longer travel range.
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 25 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 HLH20X25-S to position small components at a pick-and-place station with 25 mm of guided travel and the straightness a roller-ball guide delivers.
Small-Parts Transfer
Move lightweight parts across a conveyor transfer point with precise guided travel while the floating joint spares the dual rods from side torque.
Assembly Stage Positioning
Index a workpiece into an assembly fixture where four-direction mounting and three port groups let you fit the cylinder into a compact cell layout.
FAQ
How do I choose between HLH and the HLS cross-roller guide?
Pick HLH when straightness and precision assembly are the priority - the miniature roller-ball guide is built for best straightness and mounts in four directions with three port groups. Choose HLS when you need maximum rigidity and load capacity from a cross-roller guide. Both are dual-rod double-acting slide tables.
What pressure range applies to the 20 mm bore HLH?
For bore 20, the operating pressure range is 0.15-0.7 MPa (22-100 psi), with a maximum working pressure of 0.7 MPa. Keep meter-out speed at or below 500 mm/s. We confirm allowable load and moment from the datasheet.
