Airtac B52-HLS Non-Copper Precision Slide Cylinder B52-HLS8X40S
The AirTAC Airtac B52-HLS Non-Copper Precision Slide Cylinder B52-HLS8X40S is a genuine HLS slide-table cylinder: a double-acting dual-rod air cylinder integrated with a cross-roller guide so the table travels straight with high rigidity and low deflection. A floating joint spares the rod from side torque; the magnet is fitted as standard.

About the Airtac B52-HLS Non-Copper Precision Slide Cylinder B52-HLS8X40S
The HLS8X40S is a genuine AirTAC cross-roller slide-table cylinder with an 8 mm bore and 40 mm stroke. It combines an air cylinder with a cross-roller linear guide so the moving table travels precisely along a straight path with low deflection. The dual-rod layout doubles the thrust versus a single-rod cylinder, and the floating joint spares the rods from side torque. The basic bumper cushion absorbs end-of-stroke impact at both ends.
A magnet is standard on every HLS unit for position sensing; CMSH, DMSH, and EMSH series sensor switches mount in the body slots. We verify thrust, dimensions, and load/moment ratings from the AirTAC datasheet or on-page spec table whenever you need them.

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 8 mm bore fits compact installations where thrust needs are moderate; step up to a larger bore for more push. The HLS cross-roller guide provides the highest precision and rigidity in the AirTAC slide-table range, suited for applications where deflection must be minimal. Select a stroke within the bore's published range. This model has the basic bumper cushion with no adjuster code; for heavier loads consider the A (rubber stopper) or B (shock absorber) options. Thread is PT. We can confirm allowable load and moment from the published tables and deflection curves.
Applications
Gripper Traverse
Mounts a small pneumatic gripper that traverses parts between pick and place positions with straight, low-deflection travel.
Stopper Mechanism
Acts as a precise end-stop for incoming workpieces on a short conveyor, holding position with the cross-roller guide.
Part Transfer Slide
Shuttles small electronic components sideways between assembly fixtures with repeatable positioning over the 40 mm stroke.
FAQ
Does this model come with a magnet?
Yes - the S in HLS8X40S means a magnet is standard on every unit. It is not an option to remove. Position sensing uses CMSH, DMSH, or EMSH series switches.
How is end-of-stroke cushioning handled?
This model has the basic bumper cushion at both ends with no adjuster code. For heavier loads or faster speeds, consider the A (adjustable rubber stopper) or B (shock absorber) versions.
