Airtac HLQL Dual Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQL16X20SA
The AirTAC Airtac HLQL Dual Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQL16X20SA 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. This is the symmetrical version. A floating joint spares the rod from side torque; the magnet is fitted as standard.

About the Airtac HLQL Dual Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQL16X20SA
The AirTAC HLQL16X20SA is a symmetrical ball-bearing slide-table cylinder that integrates a double-acting air cylinder with a linear ball guide for straight, precise table travel. A 16 mm bore and 20 mm stroke give moderate thrust over a short guided range; the dual-rod design doubles the force and a floating joint prevents side torque from reaching the rods. The ball-bearing guide resists rust and dust for harsher environments.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with a standard magnet for position sensing. Sensor switches from the CMSH, DMSH, or EMSH series mount in the magnetic-switch slots on the body. We confirm thrust, dimensions, allowable load, and moment from the AirTAC datasheet or on-page specification 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 delivers moderate thrust in a compact ball-bearing slide; stepping up to a larger bore adds push but also size. The HLQL symmetrical version provides balanced port routing for symmetrical installs. The A adjuster adds adjustable rubber stoppers at both ends, letting you fine-tune the end-of-stroke position. Verify that 20 mm stroke is within the 16 mm bore stroke table, and contact us for load and moment sizing from the published datasheet tables.
Applications
Short Pick-and-Place
Positions a gripper over a 20 mm stroke with rubber stoppers at both ends for repeatable end positions during part handling.
Assembly Stage Locator
Locates a small fixture precisely using the ball-bearing guide and adjustable stops on the symmetrical body.
Light-Parts Indexing
Indexes lightweight items between close stations with the anti-rust ball guide and dual-rod thrust for dependable contact.
FAQ
What does the A suffix mean in HLQL16X20SA?
A indicates adjustable rubber stoppers fitted at both the extension and retraction ends, allowing you to fine-tune the stopping position at each end of the 20 mm stroke.
Can I use shock absorbers on this bore instead?
Yes, bore 16 supports both the A (rubber stopper) and B (shock absorber) adjuster options. B-type adjusters are only excluded on bore 6. This model uses the A option; if you need B or BS, contact us.
