Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS16X40SBS
The AirTAC Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS16X40SBS 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 HLS16X40SBS
The HLS16X40SBS is an AirTAC double-acting dual-rod slide-table cylinder with a cross-roller linear guide built into the body. The cross-roller guide yields high rigidity and precise straight-line travel with low deflection, and the dual-rod layout doubles thrust for a bore 16 unit at a 40 mm stroke. A floating joint isolates the rod from side torque so the guide carries the working load. The BS adjuster installs a shock absorber on the extension side only, absorbing impact when the table reaches the forward end of stroke.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with a standard magnet for position sensing. Compatible sensor switches CMSH, DMSH, and EMSH mount in the magnetic-switch slots on the cylinder body. We confirm exact thrust, dimensions, and allowable load-moment data from the AirTAC datasheet or the 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 offers moderate thrust for guided positioning and transfer applications; select a larger bore for higher force and a smaller bore when envelope is limited. The HLS cross-roller guide is the pick when rigidity and low deflection are critical; the HLQ ball-bearing series suits dust-proof or anti-rust environments instead. Stroke 40 mm falls within the bore 16 range. The BS adjuster damps only the extension side -- ideal when the forward stroke carries more kinetic energy than the return. Standard PT thread works with common piping.
Applications
Pick-and-Place Extend
Drives a vacuum or gripper forward 40 mm to pick a part with cross-roller accuracy, extension-side shock absorber softening the forward stop.
Lateral Transfer
Shifts a workpiece sideways between parallel stations with straight guided travel and forward-end impact damping from the BS adjuster.
Push-Off Station
Pushes a completed part off a track or fixture at the forward stroke with consistent force and low-deflection cross-roller guidance.
FAQ
What does the BS adjuster code mean on HLS16X40SBS?
The BS code places a shock absorber on the extension side only. This damps impact at the forward end of stroke while the retraction end uses a standard bumper. Choose BS when the forward stroke carries the greater impact energy.
Can you provide allowable load and moment data for this model?
Yes. Allowable load, allowable moment, and kinetic-energy limits are published as tables and deflection curves in the AirTAC datasheet. We confirm those values for your specific bore and stroke on request rather than listing them generically.
