Airtac HLH Side Rail Type Precision Slide Cylinder HLH20X60S
The AirTAC Airtac HLH Side Rail Type Precision Slide Cylinder HLH20X60S 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 HLH20X60S
The HLH20X60S is a double-acting dual-rod slide-table cylinder with a precision miniature linear roller-ball integrated guide. The 20 mm bore combined with a 60 mm stroke provides moderate to higher thrust over a useful travel range, while the dual-rod design doubles the output force and the floating joint protects the rods from side torque. The roller-ball guide achieves the best straightness in the HL family, and the body mounts in four directions with three available port groups.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with a standard magnet fitted. Magnetic-switch slots on the body accept CMSH, DMSH, or EMSH sensor switches. We confirm the exact thrust, dimensions, allowable load, and moment values from the datasheet or the on-page spec 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 20 mm bore is the largest in the HLH range, offering higher thrust than the 6, 10, or 16 mm bores. Select HLH when your application needs the superior straightness and precision-assembly quality of the miniature roller-ball guide rather than the cross-roller HLS or ball-bearing HLQ alternatives. The 60 mm stroke is well within the bore-20 range; confirm the exact maximum stroke from the datasheet. Thread is PT (BSPT); G and NPT variants are available. Route load and moment sizing to us so we can confirm against the published tables and deflection curves.
Applications
Parts Transfer Slide
Transfers small components 60 mm across a conveyor gap in an assembly line, the roller-ball guide maintaining straightness over the longer stroke.
Pick-and-Place Traverse
Moves a suction gripper 60 mm between a feed tray and a nesting fixture, dual rods keeping the travel stable under payload.
Test Probe Indexing
Indexes a test probe head 60 mm into position over a PCB, the precision guide ensuring repeatable contact-point alignment.
FAQ
Why choose the HLH roller-ball guide over HLS or HLQ for a 60 mm stroke?
HLH provides the best straightness and precision-assembly quality of the four HL sub-families thanks to its miniature linear roller-ball integrated guide. It also mounts in four directions and offers three port groups. HLS offers maximum rigidity with cross-rollers, and HLQ offers anti-rust, dust-proof ball bearings, so the choice depends on whether straightness, rigidity, or environmental resistance is your priority.
Can load and moment capacity be confirmed for the HLH20X60S?
Yes. Allowable load, moment, and table deflection are published as tables and curves in the datasheet. We confirm those values for your specific stroke and mounting orientation on request. Maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa (100 psi), and operating range for the 20 mm bore is 0.15-0.7 MPa (22-100 psi).
