Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS16X10SBF
The AirTAC Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS16X10SBF is a genuine HLS slide-table cylinder, 16 mm bore: a double-acting dual-rod air cylinder integrated with a cross-roller guide so the table travels straight with high rigidity and low deflection. It delivers about 151 N of push at 0.5 MPa. A floating joint spares the rod from side torque; the magnet is fitted as standard.

About the Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS16X10SBF
The HLS16X10SBF is a genuine AirTAC cross-roller slide-table cylinder that integrates a double-acting air cylinder with a precision cross-roller linear guide. At bore 16 and stroke 10, the dual-rod design doubles thrust while the floating joint spares the rods from side torque, so the moving table travels straight with minimal deflection. The cross-roller guide delivers high rigidity and load capacity for demanding positioning tasks.
This model is magnet-fitted as standard, accepting CMSH, DMSH, or EMSH sensor switches in the body slots. The BF adjuster provides a shock absorber on the retraction side for controlled end-of-stroke deceleration. We confirm the exact thrust, dimensions, and load-moment ratings 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 sits in the mid-range of the HLS family, offering moderate thrust suitable for most pick-and-place and transfer duties. Choose the HLS cross-roller guide when you need maximum rigidity and precision over the ball-bearing HLQ or the low-height HLF. The 10 mm stroke is ideal for short, repeatable positioning moves. The BF shock-absorber option on the retraction side cushions the return stroke, which is useful when the workpiece returns under load. Thread is PT as standard; request G or NPT if needed.
For allowable load, moment, and kinetic energy, route sizing to us and we will confirm from the published Wmax, Emax, and moment tables plus deflection curves for your operating conditions.
Applications
Pick-and-Place Head
Mounts a vacuum gripper or pneumatic jaws for precise part placement where cross-roller rigidity keeps positional error low over short 10 mm strokes.
Small-Parts Transfer
Shifts lightweight components between conveyor lanes or work stations with straight, repeatable guided motion at the retraction-side shock-absorber cushioning.
Assembly Stage Stopper
Positions or holds a workpiece at an assembly station; the cross-roller guide resists deflection from downstream tooling pressure.
FAQ
What does the BF adjuster code mean on this HLS model?
BF indicates a shock absorber fitted on the retraction (return) side only. This cushions the end-of-stroke impact during retraction, reducing bounce and protecting the workpiece. The extension side uses a standard bumper.
What is the maximum operating pressure for the HLS16 bore?
Maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa (100 psi). The operating range for bore 16 is 0.15 to 0.7 MPa (22 to 100 psi). Never exceed 0.7 MPa. Speed should be controlled with a meter-out flow control within 50 to 500 mm/s.
