The AirTAC Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL16X50SB 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.
A slide-table cylinder integrates an air cylinder with a linear guide so the moving table travels in a straight line. This HLSL symmetrical cross-roller guide provides the highest precision and rigidity for the bore 16 mm, stroke 50 mm class, and the dual-rod design doubles the thrust. A floating joint spares the rod from side torque so the guide carries the lateral load.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with a standard magnet for position sensing using CMSH, DMSH or EMSH switches fitted in the body slots. We confirm the exact thrust, dimensions, allowable load and moment values from the published 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.
Choose the bore 16 mm size for moderate thrust in a compact guided slide; a bigger bore gives more push so verify your need against the thrust table. The HLSL cross-roller guide is the top pick when rigidity and low deflection matter most. Stroke 50 mm sits within the bore 16 stroke range. This unit carries shock absorbers at both ends (B code) for end-of-stroke cushioning; port thread is PT.
Positions a workpiece at an assembly station with cross-roller straightness and symmetrical body balance.
Moves small components between stations on a precise dual-rod guided path with shock-absorber cushioning at both ends.
Traverses a gripper between pick and place positions with low deflection and high rigidity.
B means shock absorbers at both ends for end-of-stroke cushioning. AS or AF would be a rubber stopper on one side; BS or BF would be a shock absorber on extension or retraction side only. B-type adjusters are not available on bore 6.
Maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa. For bore 16 the operating range is 0.15-0.7 MPa (22-100 psi). Speed is 50-500 mm/s using meter-out flow control; proof pressure is 1.2 MPa.
