Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL16X40SB
The AirTAC Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL16X40SB 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 HLSL16X40SB
The HLSL16X40SB is a symmetrical cross-roller slide table cylinder combining an air cylinder and a precision linear guide in a single body, so the table travels straight under load. Its 16 mm bore gives moderate thrust, doubled by the dual-rod arrangement, while the cross-roller guide delivers the rigidity and low deflection needed for accurate positioning. A floating joint protects the rods from side torque, and the symmetrical body suits mounting from either side.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with the magnet standard, allowing CMSH, DMSH or EMSH sensor switches to sit in the slots on the body. The B code means shock absorbers are fitted at both ends, cushioning travel in both directions. Exact thrust, dimensions and allowable load or moment values for this model are in the on-page spec table, and 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
Choose the 16 mm bore for moderate thrust, go larger to 20 or 25 mm when the workpiece needs more push, or smaller to 6, 8 or 12 mm for light loads. The cross-roller HLSL guide is the rigidity and precision option; HLQ suits anti-rust ball-bearing needs, HLH miniature precision travel, and HLF reduced-height installations. The 40 mm stroke is within this bore's published stroke table.
The B suffix here gives shock absorbers on both ends - useful for cyclic transfers in both directions; alternatives are A (adjustable rubber stoppers), AS or AF (one-side absorbers) or blank for basic. Ports are 1/8" PT on this code, with G and NPT options. Allowable load, moment and deflection are published as tables and curves - send us your application and we will size it with you.
Applications
Assembly stage indexing
Positions a sub-assembly between two stations; shock absorbers at both ends give smooth stops in each direction, and the cross-roller guide holds alignment.
Stopper gate
Rises or extends to stop parts on a conveyor line; the rigid guided table takes the contact squarely while the floating joint absorbs misalignment.
Cyclic transfer slide
Shuttles small components back and forth in repetitive handling; dual-rod thrust and guided straightness keep the motion stable cycle after cycle.
FAQ
Why pick the B version with shock absorbers on both ends?
If the table stops hard in both directions - for example a cyclic transfer or stopper duty - the B code adds shock absorbers at each end of the 40 mm stroke. A gives adjustable rubber stoppers instead, AS or AF cushion just one side, and blank is the basic bumper-only version.
How do I confirm the thrust and load ratings for this model?
Thrust depends on bore and supply pressure; within 0.15-0.7 MPa (22-100 psi) the 16 mm bore gives moderate push, doubled by the dual rods, but we do not quote a single figure in prose. The exact thrust, along with dimensions and allowable load and moment, is in the on-page spec table and datasheet - ask us and we will confirm the verified values for HLSL16X40SB.
