Airtac HLH Side Rail Type Precision Slide Cylinder HLH20X30-S
The AirTAC Airtac HLH Side Rail Type Precision Slide Cylinder HLH20X30-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 HLH20X30-S
The AirTAC HLH20X30-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 30 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 longer 30 mm 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 30 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 HLH20X30-S to shuttle components between fixtures over 30 mm of guided travel with the straightness and precision a roller-ball guide provides.
Small-Parts Transfer
Transfer workpieces across a conveyor station with 30 mm of precise guided travel while the floating joint protects the dual rods from side torque.
Assembly Stage Positioning
Index a sub-assembly into an assembly stage where four-direction mounting and three port groups simplify fitting the cylinder into a compact cell.
FAQ
Is the magnet optional on the HLH20X30-S?
No - the magnet is standard on every HLH model. The S in the code indicates a magnet-fitted cylinder, and the entire HLH line ships with a sintered NdFeB magnet. Position sensing uses CMSH, DMSH, or EMSH switches mounted in the body slots.
How are allowable load and moment confirmed for this model?
Load, moment, and kinetic energy limits are published as Wmax, Emax, and moment tables along with deflection curves in the datasheet. We confirm the exact values for your bore and stroke from those tables on request. Maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa.
