Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS16X125SB
The AirTAC Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS16X125SB 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 HLS16X125SB
The AirTAC HLS16X125SB is a cross-roller guided slide-table cylinder with a 16 mm bore and 125 mm stroke. As a double-acting dual-rod design, it integrates an air cylinder with a precision cross-roller linear guide so the moving table travels straight with minimal deflection. The dual rod doubles the thrust for a bigger bore, while a floating joint spares the rod from side torque. This model includes shock absorbers at both ends for smooth end-of-stroke deceleration over the full 125 mm travel.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with a standard sintered NdFeB magnet for position sensing; compatible sensor switches are CMSH, DMSH, or EMSH, which mount in the magnetic-switch slots on the body. We confirm 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
Choose bore 16 when your application needs more push than the smaller bores provide; a bigger bore means higher thrust, while the cross-roller guide delivers the highest precision and rigidity among the HL sub-families. The 125 mm stroke stays within the bore 16 stroke range from the AirTAC catalog. This model uses shock absorbers at both ends (adjuster code B) for energy absorption at full travel; if you only need damping on one side, consider the BF (retraction) or BS (extension) variants. Thread is PT as standard; request G or NPT if your fittings differ. We confirm allowable load, moment, and kinetic energy from the published AirTAC tables and deflection curves before you order.
Applications
Pick-and-Place Head
Cross-roller precision and dual-rod thrust position small electronic parts accurately over a 125 mm pick-and-place stroke with shock-absorber deceleration at both ends.
Parts Transfer Stopper
Extend the table to act as a guided stopper or diverter on a conveyor line; the cross-roller guide maintains straightness under lateral load while the shock absorbers cushion the stop.
Assembly Stage Traverse
Move a gripper or tooling head between two assembly stations along a precise 125 mm linear path, relying on the rigid cross-roller guide to keep deflection low under workpiece load.
FAQ
What does the B in HLS16X125SB mean?
The B adjuster code indicates shock absorbers at both ends of the stroke, providing energy absorption for smooth deceleration. B-type adjusters are available on bores 8 and larger; bore 6 only offers the basic or A-type rubber stopper options.
What is the maximum operating pressure for the HLS bore 16?
The maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa (100 psi). Bore 16 has an operating range of 0.15-0.7 MPa (22-100 psi). Keep meter-out speed control within 50-500 mm/s and use filtered air to 40 um.
