Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS16X50SA
The AirTAC Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS16X50SA 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 HLS16X50SA
The HLS16X50SA is a genuine AirTAC cross-roller slide table cylinder fitted with adjustable rubber stoppers at both ends of travel. The cross-roller guide provides outstanding rigidity and low deflection, and the dual-rod design doubles thrust versus a single-rod actuator. A floating joint spares the rods from side torque so the moving table maintains straight-line precision. At bore 16 mm with 50 mm stroke, this model delivers moderate thrust over a compact guided range.
A sintered NdFeB magnet is standard for position sensing with CMSH, DMSH or EMSH switches. We verify thrust, dimensions, allowable load and 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
Bore 16 mm gives moderate thrust for mid-range guided tasks; step up to bore 20 or 25 for higher push, or down to bore 8 or 6 for lighter work. The A adjuster adds an adjustable rubber stopper at both extension and retraction ends, letting you fine-tune end-of-stroke deceleration beyond the built-in bumper. Choose HLS cross-roller over HLQ ball-bearing when rigidity and load capacity are the priority. Thread is PT; specify G or T for other thread options.
Applications
Gripper Traverse
Mount a gripper and traverse 50 mm with cross-roller precision, using adjustable rubber stoppers to soften end-of-stroke impact on delicate parts.
Lateral Part Transfer
Shuttle small components between stations with the dual-rod thrust and rigid guided table, tuning rubber stoppers for smooth deceleration.
Assembly Positioning Slide
Position a workpiece or tool at an assembly stage where repeatable stops and cross-roller straightness ensure accurate placement.
FAQ
What does the A adjuster suffix mean on the HLS16X50SA?
The A suffix indicates an adjustable rubber stopper fitted at both the extension and retraction ends. You can tune the stopper position to fine-tune end-of-stroke cushioning. The basic HLS16X50S has only built-in bumpers; B variants add shock absorbers (not available on bore 6).
What pressure and speed range should I run this cylinder within?
Maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa. For bore 16 the operating range is 0.15-0.7 MPa (22-100 psi). Keep speed between 50 and 500 mm/s with meter-out flow control. Allowable load and moment are confirmed from the datasheet tables on request.
