Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS16X50SBF
The AirTAC Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS16X50SBF 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 HLS16X50SBF
The HLS16X50SBF is a double-acting dual-rod slide-table cylinder with a cross-roller linear guide, bore 16 mm and stroke 50 mm. The cross-roller guide provides precise straight travel with high rigidity and low deflection, while the dual rod doubles thrust and the floating joint protects the rod from side torque. A shock absorber on the retraction side cushions the retract end-stop for smoother deceleration.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with a standard magnet for position sensing (CMSH, DMSH or EMSH switches in the body slots). We confirm thrust, dimensions and allowable load-moment 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
Choose the 16 mm bore when you need moderate thrust in a compact cross-roller guided slide; a bigger bore gives more push. The 50 mm stroke falls within the bore-16 stroke table. The BF adjuster adds a shock absorber on the retraction side to absorb impact at the retract stop. Ports are 1/8" and the standard thread is PT. We confirm allowable load, moment and deflection curves from the published AirTAC tables.
Applications
Pick-and-Place Head
Mount a small gripper on the table for precise part pick-up and placement with shock-absorber cushioning on the retract stroke.
Gripper Traverse
Traverse a gripper between two positions with the cross-roller guide maintaining straightness and the retract shock absorber smoothing the return stop.
Adjustable Assembly Stop
Feed parts to an assembly station where the retract-side shock absorber cushions the return while the cross-roller guide holds precise positioning.
FAQ
What does the BF adjuster code mean on HLS16X50SBF?
BF means a shock absorber is fitted on the retraction side only. It absorbs impact energy at the retract end-stop for smoother deceleration; the extension end uses the standard bumper.
Is the magnet standard on this model?
Yes, the magnet is standard on every HLS slide table. The S in the code confirms it is fitted for use with CMSH, DMSH or EMSH sensor switches in the body slots.
