Airtac HLQL Dual Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQL16X20SB
The AirTAC Airtac HLQL Dual Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQL16X20SB 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 HLQL16X20SB
The HLQL16X20SB is a symmetrical ball-bearing slide-table cylinder with an integrated linear guide and dual-rod design. The dual rods double the thrust, and the floating joint protects the rods from side torque during travel. With a 16 mm bore and 20 mm stroke, this compact model delivers moderate thrust with precise, straight-line motion. Ball-bearing rails provide anti-rust and dust-proof operation, and the symmetrical layout supports balanced mounting.
This genuine AirTAC part includes the magnet as standard. Sensor switches CMSH, DMSH, and EMSH fit the magnetic-switch slots on the body. We confirm exact thrust, dimensions, allowable load, and moment from the datasheet or the 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
Bore 16 provides moderate thrust in a compact body; step up to a larger bore if the application needs more force. The HLQL ball-bearing guide offers anti-rust and dust-proof operation, ideal where the HLS cross-roller's maximum rigidity is not required. Keep the stroke within the bore 16 table. The B adjuster adds shock absorbers at both ends for controlled energy absorption in both travel directions, reducing impact at end-of-stroke. Thread is PT as standard; specify G or T for G-thread or NPT. For load, moment, and deflection verification, we reference the datasheet tables and curves on request.
Applications
Part Shuttle
Shuttles workpieces between two machining stations with shock-absorber cushioning at both ends.
Dispense Traverse
Moves a dispense valve along a guided path for consistent adhesive bead application.
Probe Positioning
Positions a test probe against a connector pad and retracts cleanly between contact cycles.
FAQ
What does the B adjuster code mean on this HLQL16 slide table?
B indicates shock absorbers fitted at both ends of the stroke. This provides controlled energy absorption at end-of-travel in both directions, reducing impact. B-type adjusters are available on bore 12 and larger but not on bore 6.
How do I confirm allowable load and moment for this model?
Allowable load, moment, and kinetic energy are published as tables and deflection curves in the datasheet. Contact us with your stroke and loading conditions and we will confirm the values for your specific application.
