Airtac HLQ Dual-Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQ16X100SBS
The AirTAC Airtac HLQ Dual-Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQ16X100SBS 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 HLQ16X100SBS
The HLQ16X100SBS is a double-acting dual-rod slide-table cylinder that integrates an air cylinder with a ball-bearing linear guide, so the moving table travels straight with low deflection. A bore 16 mm body at 100 mm stroke delivers moderate thrust suitable for small-parts handling, and the dual-rod layout doubles that thrust while a floating joint spares the rod from side torque. The HLQ ball-bearing guide is anti-rust and dust-proof, making it well suited to clean-environment and precision transfer tasks.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. A magnet is standard for position sensing with CMSH, DMSH or EMSH switches in the body slots. We confirm exact thrust, dimensions, allowable load and moment from the published 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 sits in the mid-range of the HLQ family; choose a bigger bore for higher thrust or a smaller bore when space is tight. The ball-bearing guide trades slightly lower rigidity than a cross-roller (HLS) for anti-rust and dust-proof operation, so HLQ is preferred in cleaner or mildly corrosive environments. Stroke 100 mm must be within the bore 16 stroke range listed in the datasheet. The BS adjuster places a shock absorber on the extension side to soften end-of-stroke impact; the retraction side uses the standard bumper. Ports are 1/8" PT. Route load and moment sizing to us - these are published as tables and deflection curves.
Applications
Pick-and-Place Traverse
Guides a small gripper between two stations with straight, repeatable travel on a ball-bearing rail that resists dust and corrosion.
Small-Parts Transfer
Moves lightweight components between conveyor lanes with the dual-rod thrust and low-deflection ball-bearing guide keeping parts aligned.
Assembly Stage Positioning
Indexes a workpiece or tooling plate to a precise stop with the shock absorber on the extension side cushioning the 100 mm stroke.
FAQ
What does the BS adjuster code mean on the HLQ16X100SBS?
BS indicates a shock absorber fitted on the extension side of the stroke. The retraction side retains the standard bumper cushion. B-type shock absorbers are not available on bore 6, but bore 16 supports the full adjuster range.
What is the maximum operating pressure for this bore?
Bore 16 runs at 0.15-0.7 MPa (22-100 psi). The maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa; never exceed it. Meter-out speed control should keep travel between 50 and 500 mm/s.
