Airtac HLF Ultra-Slim Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLF16X30S
The AirTAC Airtac HLF Ultra-Slim Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLF16X30S 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 HLF16X30S
The AirTAC HLF16X30S is a double-acting dual-rod slide-table cylinder whose low-height body integrates a cross-roller linear guide. The cross-roller guide ensures high rigidity and accurate straight-line travel while reducing the vertical envelope, making it practical for space-constrained automation. A floating joint isolates the rods from side torque, and the dual-rod design doubles the thrust available from a bore 16 mm cylinder at a 30 mm stroke.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with a standard sintered NdFeB magnet for position sensing. CMSH, DMSH, and EMSH series switches fit the magnetic-switch slots machined into the body. We confirm thrust ratings, overall dimensions, and allowable load/moment data from the AirTAC datasheet or 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 offers moderate thrust in the HLF series; moving to a larger bore increases push while a smaller bore saves envelope. Choose the HLF sub-family when you need cross-roller precision in a reduced-height body rather than the standard-height HLS, the anti-rust ball-bearing HLQ, or the multi-port HLH roller-ball guide. The 30 mm stroke provides extended travel for wider part-handling or positioning tasks.
Thread is PT as supplied; specify the G or T suffix for G or NPT thread options. Operating pressure for bore 16 is 0.15-0.7 MPa (22-100 psi), with a 0.7 MPa maximum. Load, moment, and deflection are published as datasheet tables and curves; contact us to verify sizing for your specific payload and orientation.
Applications
Wider Pick-and-Place
The 30 mm stroke extends reach for pick-and-place between lanes that are farther apart, while the cross-roller guide maintains repeatable positioning at the extended travel.
Diverter Gate Actuation
Drive a diverter or sorting gate 30 mm across a conveyor line; the low HLF body height lets the slide sit flush in the conveyor frame without adding vertical bulk.
Inspection Stage Slide
Move a part 30 mm into a vision or sensor inspection position and retract; cross-roller rigidity keeps the workpiece reference plane stable for repeatable measurement.
FAQ
What thread option does HLF16X30S use, and can I change it?
The code HLF16X30S has no thread suffix, so it ships with PT threads. To order G (BSPP) threads specify HLF16X30SG, and for NPT threads specify HLF16X30ST. The port size for bore 16 is 1/8 inch.
What is the maximum speed and pressure for this model?
Maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa (100 psi); the operating range for bore 16 is 0.15-0.7 MPa (22-100 psi). Speed should be controlled with meter-out flow to stay within 50-500 mm/s for reliable cross-roller guide life.
