Airtac HLQL Dual Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQL16X30SAF
The AirTAC Airtac HLQL Dual Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQL16X30SAF 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 HLQL16X30SAF
A slide-table cylinder integrates an air cylinder with a linear ball-bearing guide so the moving table travels straight. The HLQL16X30SAF is a symmetrical ball-bearing slide table with a 16 mm bore and 30 mm stroke. The dual-rod double-acting design doubles thrust while a floating joint protects the rods from side torque. The ball-bearing guide offers anti-rust, dust-proof performance with precise guided travel and low deflection. An adjustable rubber stopper on the retraction side lets you fine-tune the return-end position.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. A magnet is standard for position sensing, with sensor switches in the CMSH, DMSH, and EMSH series fitting the body slots. We confirm thrust, dimensions, and allowable load-moment 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
Bore 16 suits applications needing moderate thrust from a compact body; a larger bore gives more push, so match the bore to your load using the thrust table. The HLQL ball-bearing guide is the anti-rust, dust-proof choice over the cross-roller HLS or the low-height HLF - choose it when corrosion resistance and dust protection matter. Stroke 30 mm sits within the bore 16 range. This model carries an adjustable rubber stopper on the retraction side only (adjuster code AF) for controlled return-end positioning. Thread is PT. Route load and moment sizing to the published Wmax/Emax and deflection tables.
Applications
Pick-and-Place Head
Mount a vacuum or mechanical gripper on the table for precise component placement on PCBs or small assemblies.
Small-Parts Transfer
Shuttle parts between processing stations with straight, low-deflection travel guided by the ball-bearing rail.
Assembly Stage Slide
Position a workpiece or tooling at an assembly station where dust-proof, anti-rust operation keeps motion clean.
FAQ
What does adjuster code AF mean on HLQL16X30SAF?
Adjuster code AF means an adjustable rubber stopper is fitted on the retraction side only. The extension end uses the standard bumper. Code A would put stoppers on both ends, while AS covers the extension side only.
How do I confirm allowable load and moment for this model?
We confirm allowable load, moment, and kinetic energy from the published AirTAC Wmax/Emax tables and deflection curves for your specific bore and stroke. Contact us with your application details and we will size it for you.
