Airtac HLQL Dual Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQL16X50SAS
The AirTAC Airtac HLQL Dual Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQL16X50SAS 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 HLQL16X50SAS
The AirTAC HLQL16X50SAS is a symmetrical dual-rod slide-table cylinder integrating a ball-bearing linear guide with a double-acting air cylinder so the table moves straight with minimal deflection. Bore 16 mm and stroke 50 mm give moderate thrust through dual rods, and a floating joint isolates the rods from side loads. The ball-bearing guide resists rust and dust, making it a good fit for environments where smooth rolling motion matters. An adjustable rubber stopper on the extension side controls end-of-stroke cushioning at the rod-out position.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with a standard magnet for position detection. Sensor switches CMSH, DMSH, and EMSH mount in the body slots. We verify thrust, overall dimensions, and load-moment capacity from the AirTAC datasheet or the 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
Bore 16 mm suits moderate-thrust guided motion for part transfer and light assembly. The HLQL ball-bearing guide provides anti-rust, dust-proof performance where smooth travel and corrosion resistance matter more than the cross-roller's peak rigidity. Stroke 50 mm is within the bore 16 stroke table. The AS adjuster fits an adjustable rubber stopper on the extension side for controlled stopping at the rod-out end; choose AF for retraction-side damping or B for shock absorbers on both ends. Thread is PT. We confirm allowable load and moment from the AirTAC published tables on request.
Applications
Gripper Traverse
Moves a pneumatic gripper laterally between two pick points on a packaging line using 50 mm of guided ball-bearing travel.
Indexing Station
Positions small metal workpieces at an inspection station, relying on the symmetrical body and ball-bearing guide for repeatable placement.
End-of-Stroke Stopper
Acts as an adjustable stop for a downstream actuator, using the extension-side rubber stopper to set a precise rod-out limit position.
FAQ
How does the AS adjuster differ from AF on the HLQL slide table?
The AS code places an adjustable rubber stopper on the extension side only, damping the rod-out end of stroke. The AF version does the same on the retraction side. Choose AS when the outward stroke carries the load and needs controlled stopping.
Can I run this cylinder faster than 500 mm/s?
No. The rated speed range is 50-500 mm/s with meter-out speed control. Higher speeds risk guide and seal damage. Operating pressure must stay within 0.15-0.7 MPa for bore 16. Contact us to verify load and moment from the datasheet curves.
