Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS16X125SAF
The AirTAC Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS16X125SAF 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 HLS16X125SAF
The HLS16X125SAF is a genuine AirTAC cross-roller slide-table cylinder combining a double-acting dual-rod air cylinder with a high-rigidity cross-roller linear guide. The floating joint isolates the rods from side torque while the cross-roller bearing keeps deflection low, delivering straight, precise travel over the 125 mm stroke. As a bore-16 unit it provides moderate thrust suitable for compact guided positioning.
This model is magnet-fitted as standard, supporting CMSH, DMSH, or EMSH sensor switches in the body slots. We verify exact thrust, dimensions, and load/moment ratings from the AirTAC datasheet or the on-page spec table whenever you need confirmation.

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 offers moderate guided thrust in a compact body; step up to a larger bore if your push force requirement exceeds the bore-16 thrust table. The HLS cross-roller guide is selected when rigidity and straightness are the priority. Stroke 125 mm is within the bore-16 range, and this model carries an adjustable rubber stopper on the retraction side only (adjuster code AF), so the extension end uses the standard bumper. Thread is PT.
Applications
Retract-and-Drop Station
Pulls a loaded fixture back 125 mm with a controlled rubber-stopper landing on retraction, then releases parts at a defined drop point.
Gripper Traverse Return
Moves a gripper 125 mm between an extended pickup and a home position, with the retraction-side stopper ensuring repeatable home alignment.
Lane Divert Stopper
Extends to divert items on a conveyor and retracts 125 mm to home, relying on the retraction-side rubber stopper for consistent reset.
FAQ
What does AF mean on HLS16X125SAF?
AF places an adjustable rubber stopper only on the retraction side; the extension side uses the standard bumper. Other options are A (both ends), AS (extension side), and blank (basic bumper both ends). Shock-absorber codes B, BS, BF are not available on bore 6.
Can I use this cylinder at 1.0 MPa?
No. Maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa. For bore 16 the operating range is 0.15-0.7 MPa (22-100 psi). Proof pressure is 1.2 MPa for testing only. Confirm allowable load and moment from the datasheet or our on-page table before finalizing.
