Airtac HLH Side Rail Type Precision Slide Cylinder HLH20X50-S
The AirTAC Airtac HLH Side Rail Type Precision Slide Cylinder HLH20X50-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 HLH20X50-S
The HLH20X50-S combines a bore 20 air cylinder with AirTAC's precision miniature linear roller-ball guide in a dual-rod, double-acting slide-table format. The roller-ball integration delivers high straightness and low deflection across the 50 mm stroke. A floating joint spares the rods from side-load torque, and the dual rods increase thrust compared to a single-rod design. Bore 20 provides higher thrust for larger workpieces or heavier positioning loads.
This genuine AirTAC part includes a standard magnet for switch sensing. CMSH, DMSH, and EMSH sensor switches mount directly in the body's switch slots. Thrust, dimensions, and load-moment specifications are confirmed 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
Bore 20 is selected when your load requires more push than smaller bores offer - the bigger bore increases thrust without changing the guide. The HLH miniature roller-ball guide is the choice for precision-assembly straightness, three port groups, and four mounting directions. With a 50 mm stroke, verify the travel falls within the bore's published stroke table. Thread is PT. For load and moment, we reference the published Wmax, Emax, and moment tables plus deflection curves.
Applications
Parts Transfer Station
Transfer small parts between conveyor lanes over the 50 mm stroke with the roller-ball guide maintaining travel straightness.
Vertical Lift Stage
Use the four-direction mounting to orient the slide vertically, lifting light fixtures with precise guided travel.
Component Placement
Position components onto a PCB or fixture with the 50 mm stroke and high-rigidity guide ensuring repeatable placement.
FAQ
What does the S in HLH20X50-S stand for?
The S indicates a magnet is fitted. It is standard across the entire HLH line - there is no option to decline it. Position sensing uses CMSH, DMSH, or EMSH switches in the body slots.
Can I operate the HLH20X50-S above 0.7 MPa?
No. The maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa (100 psi). For bore 20, the operating range is 0.15-0.7 MPa (22-100 psi). Proof pressure is 1.2 MPa for validation only, not for continuous operation.
