Airtac HLQ Dual-Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQ16X10SAF
The AirTAC Airtac HLQ Dual-Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQ16X10SAF 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 HLQ16X10SAF
The AirTAC HLQ16X10SAF 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 floating joint spares the rods from side torque, and the dual-rod design doubles the thrust for moderate pushing force suited to a bore 16 mm cylinder. The AF adjuster adds an adjustable rubber stopper on the retraction side for controlled end-positioning.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with a standard magnet for position sensing. Compatible sensor switches include CMSH, DMSH, and EMSH series, which mount in the magnetic-switch slots on the body. We confirm exact 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
Bore 16 mm provides moderate thrust for mid-range guided tasks; if you need more push, step up to bore 20 or 25 within the HLQ series. The HLQ ball-bearing guide is chosen for anti-rust, dust-proof operation where smooth linear travel matters more than the ultra-high rigidity of a cross-roller (HLS) table. Stroke 10 mm sits well within the bore 16 range.
The AF rubber stopper is installed on the retraction end only; the extension end uses the standard bumper. Thread is PT (metric tapered). For load and moment sizing, route your application details to us so we can verify against the published Wmax, Emax, and moment tables and deflection curves.
Applications
Pick-and-Place Head
Mount a small vacuum gripper on the table for precise up-down pick-and-place of electronic components with consistent retraction stop positioning.
Parts Transfer Gate
Use the guided stroke to push or divert small parts from one conveyor lane to another with dust-proof ball-bearing guidance.
Assembly Stage Stopper
Position a workpiece against a fixture with the rubber stopper on the retraction side ensuring repeatable end-of-stroke placement.
Gripper Traverse Slide
Carry a parallel gripper across a short 10 mm stroke for clamping or releasing parts in an automated assembly cell.
FAQ
What does the AF adjuster code mean on this HLQ model?
AF indicates an adjustable rubber stopper fitted on the retraction side only. The extension side uses the standard bumper cushion. This gives you fine-tuned end-position control on the retraction stroke while keeping the basic bumper on the forward end.
What is the maximum operating pressure for this bore 16 slide table?
Maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa (100 psi). The operating pressure range for bore 16 is 0.15-0.7 MPa (22-100 psi). Never exceed 0.7 MPa; proof pressure is 1.2 MPa for validation only.
