Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS16X10SBS
The AirTAC Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS16X10SBS 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 HLS16X10SBS
The HLS16X10SBS is a genuine AirTAC cross-roller slide-table cylinder pairing a double-acting air cylinder with a precision cross-roller linear guide. With bore 16 and stroke 10, the dual-rod architecture doubles thrust while the floating joint prevents side torque on the rods, ensuring straight, low-deflection travel of the moving table. The cross-roller guide provides high rigidity and load capacity for precise positioning.
A magnet is standard, supporting CMSH, DMSH, or EMSH sensor switches in the body slots. The BS adjuster places a shock absorber on the extension side for smooth deceleration at the forward end of stroke. We verify the exact thrust, dimensions, and load-moment values 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 is a mid-size choice in the HLS line, providing moderate thrust for typical guided-slide applications. Select the HLS cross-roller guide over the ball-bearing HLQ or the low-height HLF when rigidity and load capacity are the priority. The 10 mm stroke suits short, repeatable indexing moves. The BS shock-absorber option cushions the extension stroke, helpful when the workpiece advances under load. Thread is PT as standard; G or NPT available on request.
For allowable load, moment, and kinetic energy, contact us and we will confirm from the published Wmax, Emax, and moment tables along with deflection curves for your setup.
Applications
Gripper Traverse
Advances a gripper jaw forward to pick a part, with the extension-side shock absorber ensuring smooth stop at the forward position for gentle part contact.
Component Insertion
Pushes a small component into a fixture or housing with cross-roller precision, the 10 mm stroke providing exact insertion depth.
Lateral Part Shift
Transfers a part sideways between two stations with the straight, repeatable motion the cross-roller guide maintains over short strokes.
FAQ
What does the BS adjuster code mean on this HLS model?
BS indicates a shock absorber fitted on the extension (forward) side only. It cushions the end-of-stroke impact during extension, reducing bounce and protecting delicate parts. The retraction side uses a standard bumper.
Can I use this cylinder at 1.0 MPa?
No. The maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa (100 psi). For bore 16 the operating range is 0.15 to 0.7 MPa (22 to 100 psi). Proof pressure is 1.2 MPa for testing only. Speed should be regulated with meter-out flow control to stay within 50 to 500 mm/s.
