Airtac HLQL Dual Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQL16X20SBF
The AirTAC Airtac HLQL Dual Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQL16X20SBF 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 HLQL16X20SBF
The HLQL16X20SBF is a symmetrical ball-bearing slide-table cylinder with a 16 mm bore and 20 mm stroke. As an HLQL-series guide, it integrates an air cylinder with a double-rail ball-bearing linear guide, so the moving table travels straight with low deflection. The dual-rod design doubles the thrust for a compact footprint, and the floating joint spares the rods from side torque. The ball-bearing guide offers anti-rust and dust-proof characteristics suited to clean or mildly corrosive environments.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. A magnet is standard, and the body carries magnetic-switch slots compatible with CMSH, DMSH, and EMSH sensor switches. The BF adjuster places a shock absorber at the retraction side for smoother end-of-stroke deceleration. We confirm exact thrust, dimensions, and allowable load/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 a 16 mm bore when you need moderate thrust in a compact symmetrical package; a larger bore gives more push but increases footprint. The ball-bearing guide suits applications needing anti-rust and dust-proof operation where a cross-roller guide might be overkill. Stroke is specified within the bore's range (here 20 mm). The BF adjuster adds a shock absorber at the retraction side, useful when the retracting load has significant kinetic energy. Thread is PT as standard. For load, moment, and deflection sizing, we confirm values from the published AirTAC tables and curves.
Applications
Pick-and-Place Head
Guides a small suction cup or gripper between pick and place positions with repeatable straight-line accuracy and dust-proof ball-bearing travel.
Small-Parts Transfer
Shifts lightweight workpieces laterally between conveyor lanes using the symmetrical ball-bearing guide for dust-resistant travel.
Assembly Stage Stop
Positions a component at an assembly station with the shock-absorber retraction cushion for controlled end-stop deceleration.
FAQ
What does the BF adjuster code mean on the HLQL16X20SBF?
BF indicates a shock absorber fitted at the retraction side only, providing controlled cushioning as the table reaches the retract end. The extension side uses a standard bumper. Shock absorbers are available on bore 16 and larger.
What is the maximum operating pressure for this cylinder?
The maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa (100 psi). For a 16 mm bore the operating range is 0.15 to 0.7 MPa (22 to 100 psi). Proof pressure is 1.2 MPa (175 psi). Never exceed 0.7 MPa in service.
