The AirTAC Airtac HLQL Dual Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQL16X40SAS 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.
The HLQL16X40SAS is a genuine AirTAC symmetrical ball-bearing slide-table cylinder that integrates a double-acting dual-rod air cylinder with a linear ball guide so the moving table travels straight with low deflection. The symmetrical body suits compact layouts where equal space is needed on both sides. Bore 16 mm with a 40 mm stroke delivers moderate thrust, the dual rod doubles the push, and a floating joint spares the rod from side torque so the guide absorbs lateral load. The ball-bearing guide is anti-rust and dust-proof, ideal for clean or mildly corrosive environments.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with a standard magnet fitted for position sensing using CMSH, DMSH or EMSH switches in the body slots. We confirm exact thrust, dimensions, allowable load and moment data from the datasheet or on-page spec table on request so you can size with confidence.

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.
Choose bore 16 mm for moderate thrust; a bigger bore gives more push without any efficiency penalty, and the spec table lists the verified output. The HLQL ball-bearing guide trades a little of the HLS cross-roller's peak rigidity for anti-rust and dust-proof operation, making it the better pick in clean-room or mildly corrosive settings. The symmetrical body keeps both sides balanced for space-constrained mounting.
This model carries the AS adjuster: an adjustable rubber stopper on the extension side only, leaving the retraction end with the standard bumper. Stroke 40 mm sits within the bore 16 range. Thread is PT (parallel). We route allowable load and moment sizing to the published tables and deflection curves on request.
Guides a small vacuum gripper between two stations with precise 40 mm extension and low deflection at the tool tip.
Pushes lightweight components sideways off a belt line; the anti-rust ball guide tolerates factory humidity and dust.
Indexes a workpiece into a press or test fixture with repeatable end-position accuracy using the extension-side rubber stopper.
AS means an adjustable rubber stopper is fitted on the extension side only. The retraction side keeps the standard bumper cushion. If you need stopping on both ends, look at the A (both ends) or B (shock-absorber both ends) variants.
Maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa (100 psi). Operating pressure for bore 16 is 0.15-0.7 MPa (22-100 psi). Proof pressure is 1.2 MPa. Meter-out speed control should keep travel between 50 and 500 mm/s.
