Airtac HLF Ultra-Slim Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLF16X10S
The AirTAC Airtac HLF Ultra-Slim Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLF16X10S is a genuine HLF slide-table cylinder, 16 mm bore: a double-acting dual-rod air cylinder integrated with a low-height cross-roller guide so the table travels straight with high rigidity and low deflection. It delivers about 80.4 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 HLF Ultra-Slim Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLF16X10S
The AirTAC HLF16X10S is a double-acting dual-rod slide-table cylinder that integrates a low-height cross-roller linear guide directly into the body. The cross-roller guide delivers high rigidity and precise straight-line travel while keeping the overall profile low, making it ideal for tight mounting envelopes. A floating joint spares the dual rods from side torque so the moving table stays accurate, and the dual-rod design doubles the thrust for a compact bore 16 mm package at a 10 mm stroke.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with a standard sintered NdFeB magnet for position sensing; compatible sensor switches include CMSH, DMSH, and EMSH series mounted in the body slots. We confirm thrust values, overall dimensions, and allowable load/moment data from the AirTAC 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
Bore 16 mm gives moderate thrust in the HLF series; choose a larger bore if your application needs more push and a smaller bore if compactness matters most. The HLF sub-family is the right pick when you need cross-roller precision and rigidity but must minimize the installed height, versus HLS for maximum rigidity, HLQ for ball-bearing anti-rust operation, or HLH for miniature roller-ball straightness. The 10 mm stroke suits very short travel pick-and-place or stopper duties.
Thread is PT as supplied; G and NPT thread options are available by specifying the G or T suffix. Operating pressure for bore 16 is 0.15-0.7 MPa (22-100 psi), never exceeding 0.7 MPa. Allowable load, moment, and deflection values are published as tables and curves in the datasheet; contact us to confirm sizing for your specific mounting orientation and payload.
Applications
Short-Stroke Pick-and-Place
Use the 10 mm stroke HLF16X10S to lift or shift small components between adjacent stations where a low-height cross-roller guide keeps the head compact and repeatable.
Gripper Traverse Stage
Mount a gripper on the table face for a short in-and-out traverse; the cross-roller guide holds deflection low so the gripper stays parallel to the workpiece.
Low-Profile Stopper
In a tight vertical space, the reduced HLF body height lets the slide table act as a precision stopper or positioning fence without crowding the line.
FAQ
What is the difference between HLF and HLS guide type?
HLF uses the same cross-roller guide as HLS but integrates it into a low-height body with two port sets, making it the choice when you need cross-roller rigidity and precision in a reduced vertical envelope. HLS gives maximum rigidity and load capacity in a standard-height body.
Can I exceed 0.7 MPa operating pressure on this bore 16 model?
No. Maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa (100 psi); the operating range for bore 16 is 0.15-0.7 MPa (22-100 psi). Proof pressure is 1.2 MPa for validation only, not for continuous operation. Meter-out speed control should keep travel between 50 and 500 mm/s.
