Airtac HLF Ultra-Slim Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLF16X50S
The AirTAC Airtac HLF Ultra-Slim Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLF16X50S 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 HLF16X50S
The AirTAC HLF16X50S is a double-acting dual-rod slide-table cylinder combining a cross-roller linear guide with a low-height body for precise straight travel where vertical space is at a premium. With a 16 mm bore and 50 mm stroke, it delivers moderate thrust through two rods while the floating joint prevents side torque on the rods. The cross-roller guide ensures high rigidity and minimal deflection across the longer 50 mm travel range.
This genuine AirTAC part comes with a standard magnet for position sensing via CMSH, DMSH, or EMSH switches. We confirm thrust, dimensions, and load-moment specifications 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
Select the 16 mm bore for moderate thrust where a low-height cross-roller guided slide is needed. The 50 mm stroke suits applications requiring a bit more travel than the shortest options. Pick PT, G, or NPT thread to match your pneumatic fittings - the HLF body provides two port sets for flexible routing. We can help with allowable load and moment sizing using the published tables and deflection curves for this model.
Applications
Gripper Traverse
Traverses a gripper across a 50 mm stroke with low deflection, the reduced-height body fitting cleanly beneath overhead tooling.
Stopper Slide
Acts as a precise stopper or positioning slide for small parts on a line, the cross-roller guide holding position firmly under repeated contact.
Small-Parts Transfer
Transfers components between fixtures over a 50 mm path with the low-height cross-roller guide keeping the table stable and straight throughout travel.
FAQ
How does the HLF16X50S differ from the HLS cross-roller slide?
The HLF uses the same cross-roller guide principle as the HLS but in a reduced-height body with two port sets for flexible plumbing. It trades a slightly lower profile for the same cross-roller precision and rigidity, making it ideal for tight vertical clearances.
Is the magnet optional on the HLF16X50S?
No, the S in the model code indicates the magnet is standard and always fitted. Position sensing is done with CMSH, DMSH, or EMSH switches mounted in the magnetic-switch slots on the body. The magnet cannot be declined.
