Airtac HLF Ultra-Slim Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLF16X40S
The AirTAC Airtac HLF Ultra-Slim Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLF16X40S 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 HLF16X40S
The AirTAC HLF16X40S is a double-acting dual-rod slide-table cylinder that integrates a cross-roller linear guide in a low-height body, delivering precise straight-line travel in a compact footprint. With a 16 mm bore and 40 mm stroke, it provides moderate thrust through two rods while a floating joint spares the rods from side torque. The cross-roller guide gives high rigidity and low deflection, and the reduced body height suits installations with tight vertical clearance.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with a standard magnet fitted for position sensing using CMSH, DMSH, or EMSH switches. We confirm thrust, dimensions, and allowable load-moment values from the 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
The 16 mm bore offers moderate thrust in a low-height cross-roller guided package, making the HLF ideal where vertical space is limited but rigidity and precision are still required. Choose a 40 mm stroke from the bore's standard stroke table and select PT, G, or NPT thread to match your fittings. The HLF body provides two port sets for flexible plumbing. Route allowable load and moment sizing to us - these are published as tables and deflection curves specific to this model.
Applications
Assembly Stage Positioning
Positions small workpieces precisely on an assembly line where the low-height cross-roller slide keeps the moving table flat and rigid under load.
Small-Parts Transfer
Transfers lightweight components between stations with straight, repeatable 40 mm travel guided by the cross-roller bearing in a low-profile body.
Pick-and-Place Traverse
Moves a gripper or suction cup across a short 40 mm stroke with the low-height HLF body fitting under tight tooling clearances.
FAQ
What guide type does the HLF16X40S use?
The HLF series uses an integrated cross-roller guide in a low-height body, sharing the precision and rigidity of the HLS cross-roller design but with reduced overall height and two port sets for flexible pneumatic connections.
What is the maximum operating pressure for the HLF16X40S?
Maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa. For the 16 mm bore the operating range is 0.15 to 0.7 MPa (22 to 100 psi). Use filtered air (40 um) and keep speed between 50 and 500 mm/s with meter-out control.
