Airtac HLQ Dual-Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQ16X100SAF
The AirTAC Airtac HLQ Dual-Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQ16X100SAF is a genuine HLQ slide-table cylinder, 16 mm bore: a double-acting dual-rod air cylinder integrated with a ball-bearing guide so the table travels straight with high rigidity and low deflection. It delivers about 151 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 HLQ Dual-Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQ16X100SAF
The HLQ16X100SAF is a double-acting dual-rod slide-table cylinder that integrates an air cylinder with a ball-bearing linear guide for straight, low-deflection movement. The dual rod doubles thrust and the floating joint isolates the rod from side torque. At 16mm bore and 100mm stroke this model delivers moderate push force over a longer travel range, with anti-rust and dust-proof construction. The AF suffix adds an adjustable rubber stopper on the retraction side only, cushioning the return end of stroke where impact is typically higher.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. A magnet is standard for position sensing using CMSH, DMSH, or EMSH switches in the body slots. We confirm exact thrust, dimensions, allowable load, and moment values 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
Choose the 16mm bore for moderate thrust; a larger bore increases push force while a smaller bore saves space. The HLQ ball-bearing guide provides anti-rust, dust-proof operation suited to environments where contamination resistance matters more than cross-roller-level precision. Stroke 100mm is within the bore-16 range; verify load and moment against the published Wmax and moment tables we can provide. The AF rubber stopper cushions only the retraction side; choose A for both ends or AS for extension only. Thread is PT standard; request G or NPT if needed.
Applications
Pick-and-Place Return Stroke
Mounts a pick head where the retraction-side rubber stopper cushions the return to home position after placing a part on an assembly line.
Part Transfer Shuttle
Shuttles small parts between stations with the ball-bearing guide keeping travel dust-resistant and the retraction stopper controlling the return impact.
Gripper Retract Stage
Retracts a gripper 100mm from a work area with a rubber stopper on the return end protecting the workpiece from back-hit impact.
FAQ
What does the AF suffix mean in HLQ16X100SAF?
AF indicates an adjustable rubber stopper on the retraction side only. This cushions the return stroke end where impact is often greatest. The A code adds stoppers to both ends, AS adds one to the extension side only, and the basic model (no suffix) has none.
Where can I find the allowable load and moment values for this slide table?
Allowable load, moment, and kinetic energy are published as Wmax, moment, and Emax tables and deflection curves in the AirTAC datasheet. We confirm these values from the published data on request so you can size the slide correctly for your application.
