Airtac HLQL Dual Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQL16X40SAF
The AirTAC Airtac HLQL Dual Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQL16X40SAF 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 HLQL16X40SAF
The AirTAC HLQL16X40SAF is a symmetrical ball-bearing slide-table cylinder with a 16 mm bore and 40 mm stroke. As a dual-rod double-acting unit, it integrates an air cylinder with a ball-bearing linear guide so the moving table travels straight with low deflection. The symmetrical body suits balanced mounting, the dual rod doubles thrust, and a floating joint spares the rod from side torque. An adjustable rubber stopper on the retraction side lets you fine-tune the retracted end position. The ball-bearing guide is anti-rust and dust-proof for moderate thrust and smooth precise travel.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. A magnet is standard for position sensing with CMSH, DMSH or EMSH switches in body slots. We confirm thrust, dimensions, load and moment from the datasheet or on-page 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
A 16 mm bore gives moderate thrust - step up to a larger bore if you need more push. The ball-bearing HLQL guide suits clean, anti-rust, dust-proof applications where corrosion resistance matters; choose HLS for cross-roller rigidity, HLH for miniature roller-ball straightness, or HLF for low height. Pick stroke from the bore's published stroke table. This unit carries an adjustable rubber stopper on the retraction side and PT threads. We confirm allowable load, moment and deflection from the published tables and curves on request.
Applications
Retract-and-Clamp Stop
Holds a clamped workpiece at a precise retracted position with a retraction-side rubber stopper for repeatable clamping depth.
Small-Parts Transfer
Shifts lightweight parts between conveyor positions with smooth anti-rust ball-bearing travel and a fine-tuned retraction end stop.
Gripper Traverse
Traverses a gripper to a defined retracted home position with balanced symmetrical mounting and retraction-side adjustment.
FAQ
What does the AF adjuster code mean on HLQL16X40SAF?
The AF code means an adjustable rubber stopper is fitted on the retraction side only, letting you fine-tune the retracted end position. For both-end stoppers choose A, or AS for extension side only. B-type shock absorbers are available on bores 8 and up.
What is the maximum operating pressure for this cylinder?
Maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa (100 psi). For the 16 mm bore the operating range is 0.15-0.7 MPa (22-100 psi). Meter-out speed control keeps travel at 50-500 mm/s. We confirm allowable load and moment from the published datasheet tables on request.
