Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS16X30SAF
The AirTAC Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS16X30SAF 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 HLS16X30SAF
A slide-table cylinder integrates an air cylinder with a linear guide so the moving table travels straight. This HLS16X30SAF is an AirTAC cross-roller guided dual-rod double-acting slide table with a 16 mm bore and 30 mm stroke. The cross-roller guide delivers high precision and rigidity with low deflection, and the dual rod doubles the thrust for a bore this size. A floating joint spares the rod from side torque so the table keeps its accuracy over the full travel. The AF adjuster adds an adjustable rubber stopper on the retraction side for end-of-stroke cushioning control.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with a standard magnet for position sensing. Compatible sensor switches are the CMSH, DMSH, and EMSH series, which fit the magnetic-switch slots on the body. We confirm the exact thrust, dimensions, and allowable load/moment 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 for moderate thrust in a guided slide application; a bigger bore gives more push and the cross-roller guide suits jobs where rigidity and precision matter most. The 30 mm stroke fits within the bore 16 stroke table. The AF adjuster provides an adjustable rubber stopper on the retraction side only - choose A for both ends, AS for the extension side, B for shock absorbers both ends, or BF/BS for a shock absorber on one side. B-type adjusters are not available on bore 6.
For load and moment sizing we route you to the published Wmax, Emax, and moment tables plus deflection curves - confirm with us for your specific setup. Thread is PT as standard; G or NPT thread options are available on request.
Applications
Pick-and-Place Head
Mount a small gripper on the 16 mm bore cross-roller table for precise pick-and-place of electronic components in an automated assembly cell.
Parts Transfer Stopper
Use the slide table to push or stop small workpieces at a transfer station between conveyor belts with consistent repeatable positioning.
Assembly Stage Traverse
Move a sub-assembly fixture between two workstations on the cross-roller guided table for accurate alignment during a joining or pressing step.
FAQ
What does the AF adjuster code mean on HLS16X30SAF?
AF indicates an adjustable rubber stopper fitted on the retraction side only. A blank code is basic bumper cushioning, A is both ends, AS is the extension side, B is a shock absorber on both ends, and BF or BS is a shock absorber on one side. B-type adjusters are not available on bore 6.
What is the maximum operating pressure for this bore?
For bore 16 the operating pressure range is 0.15 to 0.7 MPa (22 to 100 psi). The maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa and the proof pressure is 1.2 MPa. Use meter-out speed control to keep the slide within 50 to 500 mm/s.
