Airtac B52-HLS Non-Copper Precision Slide Cylinder B52-HLS8X40SA
The AirTAC Airtac B52-HLS Non-Copper Precision Slide Cylinder B52-HLS8X40SA 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-HLS8X40SA
The HLS8X40SA is a genuine AirTAC cross-roller slide-table cylinder with an 8 mm bore and 40 mm stroke. An air cylinder is integrated with a cross-roller linear guide so the table moves in a straight line with minimal deflection. Dual rods double the thrust relative to a single-rod design, while a floating joint prevents side torque on the rods. The A adjuster adds adjustable rubber stoppers at both ends for fine-tuned end-position control.
Every HLS unit includes a standard magnet for position detection; CMSH, DMSH, and EMSH sensor switches fit the magnetic slots machined into the body. We confirm thrust values, dimensions, and allowable load and moment from the AirTAC 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.
How to choose
An 8 mm bore suits compact applications with moderate thrust; choose a larger bore when more push is needed. The HLS cross-roller guide delivers the highest precision and rigidity in AirTAC's slide-table family, ideal where deflection must be kept low. The stroke should be selected from the bore's datasheet range. The A adjuster provides adjustable rubber stoppers at both ends, letting you tune the end-stop position without a shock absorber; if impact energy is higher, consider the B shock-absorber option (available on bore 8). Thread is PT. We can supply the allowable load and moment from the published tables and deflection curves for your sizing.
Applications
Assembly Positioning
Positions a small fixture at a precise end stop with adjustable rubber stoppers for fine end-position tuning on both extend and retract.
Light Item Sorter
Diverts small items between lanes using a guided pusher plate that travels straight over the 40 mm stroke.
Alignment Slide
Squares up small parts against a fixed stop with cross-roller precision ensuring repeatable alignment over many cycles.
FAQ
What is the difference between the A and BS adjuster codes?
The A code adds adjustable rubber stoppers at both ends for position tuning. The BS code places a shock absorber on the extension side only. Both are available on bore 8 and above.
What pressure range applies to this 8 mm bore model?
Operating pressure for bore 8 is 0.2-0.7 MPa (29-100 psi). The maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa - never exceed it. Keep speed within 50-500 mm/s using meter-out flow control.
