The AirTAC Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL16X30SBS 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. This is the symmetrical version. A floating joint spares the rod from side torque; the magnet is fitted as standard.
The HLSL16X30SBS is a symmetrical slide-table cylinder: a double-acting, dual-rod air cylinder with an integrated cross-roller guide that keeps the table travelling straight under load. At bore 16 and 30 mm stroke it delivers moderate thrust, doubled by the two rods, while the cross-roller guide gives high precision and rigidity with low deflection. The symmetrical HLSL body lets you mount the workpiece on either side, and the floating joint means the rods take no side torque from the connected load. The BS suffix adds a shock absorber on the extension side for controlled deceleration at stroke end.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with a position-detecting magnet fitted as standard; magnetic-switch slots on the body accept CMSH, DMSH or EMSH sensor switches. Operating pressure for bore 16 is 0.15-0.7 MPa (22-100 psi), with 0.7 MPa as the maximum working pressure. Exact thrust, dimensions and allowable load and moment figures for this stroke are shown in the on-page specification table, and we will confirm them from the datasheet 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.
Bore 16 gives moderate push; step up to bore 20 or 25 for higher thrust, or down to 8 or 12 for lighter loads. Choose the HLSL cross-roller slide table when precision, rigidity and low deflection matter most; choose HLQ if you need an anti-rust, dust-proof ball-bearing guide, HLH for a miniature roller-ball guide with the best straightness, or HLF where a low-height body is required. Confirm that 30 mm sits within the bore 16 stroke table and that your load and moment ratings fall inside the published tables and curves - we can size that with you. This version carries the BS adjuster (shock absorber, extension side); A adds rubber stoppers both ends, B both ends, and blank is the basic version. Thread is PT; G and NPT options exist in the series.
The guided, straight-travelling table with a floating joint carries a small gripper or vacuum cup over a 30 mm stroke without the rod seeing side torque.
Cross-roller rigidity and low deflection make this slide table suitable for pressing, inserting or indexing small parts on an assembly station.
The symmetrical HLSL table shuttles a gripper between positions, with the extension-side shock absorber softening each end of travel.
On HLS/HLQ slide tables the adjuster letter after S decodes the end-of-stroke cushioning: BS means a shock absorber is fitted on the extension side only. A is an adjustable rubber stopper both ends, B a shock absorber both ends, and a blank field is the basic bumper version. Note that B-type shock absorbers are not offered on bore 6.
Bore 16 models operate from 0.15 to 0.7 MPa (22-100 psi), and 0.7 MPa is the maximum working pressure - the 1.2 MPa (175 psi) figure is proof pressure only. Use clean air filtered to 40 um, keep meter-out speed within 50-500 mm/s, and confirm allowable load and moment from the datasheet tables and curves before sizing the application.
