Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL16X40SAS
The AirTAC Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL16X40SAS 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.

About the Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL16X40SAS
The HLSL16X40SAS is a symmetrical cross-roller slide table cylinder: an air cylinder and a precision linear guide in one body, giving the table straight, low-deflection travel. The 16 mm bore provides moderate thrust, doubled by the dual-rod design, and the cross-roller guide adds high rigidity for accurate small-part handling. The floating joint keeps side torque off the rods, and the symmetrical layout gives mounting flexibility.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with the magnet fitted as standard, so CMSH, DMSH or EMSH switches read position from the slots on the body. The AS code means shock absorbers are fitted on the extension side, cushioning the working stroke. Verified thrust, dimensions and allowable load or moment figures sit in the on-page spec table; we 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.
How to choose
The 16 mm bore suits loads needing moderate push; step up to 20 or 25 mm for more thrust or down to 6, 8 or 12 mm for lighter duty. Cross-roller HLSL guide is the choice when rigidity and precision top the list; HLQ offers an anti-rust ball-bearing alternative, HLH a miniature precision guide, and HLF a low-height body. The 40 mm stroke is within this bore's stroke table.
Here AS means shock absorbers on the extension side; other HLSL options are adjustable rubber stoppers (A), absorbers on both ends (B) or the basic version (blank). Thread is 1/8" PT on this code, with G and NPT available. For load, moment or deflection sizing, ask us - those are published as tables and curves we can check for you.
Applications
Small-parts transfer
Moves trays or small parts between positions with straight, guided travel; the extension-side shock absorber cushions each advance into position.
Pick-and-place head
Carries a suction or gripper tool over a 40 mm stroke; the cross-roller guide resists deflection so placement stays repeatable.
Alignment pusher
Pushes components into a fixture or against a fence; the floating joint and rigid guide keep the push square to the workpiece.
FAQ
How is HLSL16X40SAS different from the basic HLSL16X40S?
The letters after S are the adjuster code. This model carries AS, meaning shock absorbers on the extension side, so the working stroke ends in a controlled cushion. The basic version has only the standard bumper, while A adds adjustable rubber stoppers and B adds absorbers at both ends.
Can I slow the table down for delicate parts?
Yes. The series runs at 50-500 mm/s with filtered air to 40 um within 0.15-0.7 MPa (22-100 psi) for this 16 mm bore, and metering the exhaust gives smooth low-speed travel. For delicate handling, the shock absorbers on the extension side also soften end-of-stroke impact; allowable load and moment should still be checked against the datasheet.
