Airtac HLF Ultra-Slim Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLF12X10S
The AirTAC Airtac HLF Ultra-Slim Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLF12X10S is a genuine HLF slide-table cylinder, 12 mm bore: a double-acting dual-rod air cylinder integrated with a low-height cross-roller guide so the table travels straight with high rigidity and low deflection. It delivers about 45.2 N of push at 0.5 MPa. A floating joint spares the rod from side torque; the magnet is fitted as standard.

About the Airtac HLF Ultra-Slim Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLF12X10S
The HLF12X10S is a double-acting, dual-rod slide table cylinder that integrates an air cylinder with a low-height cross-roller guide, so the table travels straight along a precise, rigid path. With a 12 mm bore and a short 10 mm stroke, it delivers moderate push suited to compact positioning steps, and the low-profile body fits where a standard slide table would be too tall. The dual-rod design doubles the available thrust compared with a single-rod cylinder of the same bore, and the floating joint at the workpiece side spares the rods from side torque so the guide, not the seals, takes the alignment work.
This is a genuine AirTAC part, magnet-fitted as standard, with magnetic-switch slots on the body that accept CMSH, DMSH and EMSH sensor switches. The exact thrust, overall dimensions and allowable load and moment figures for the 12 mm bore and 10 mm stroke are shown in the datasheet and the on-page spec table, and we are glad to confirm any of them on request before you order.

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
Within the HLF line, bore 12 sits in the middle of the 8/12/16/20 range, so it offers moderate push; step up to 16 or 20 mm when you need higher thrust from the same low-height cross-roller body. Choose HLF over the standard HLS cross-roller series when reduced body height is the priority; choose HLS when maximum rigidity and load capacity matter more than height. The 10 mm stroke must fall within the published stroke table for the 12 mm bore, so check the datasheet for the available strokes. Air supply connections are PT thread as ordered here, with G and NPT thread options available. Allowable load and moment are published as tables and deflection as curves, so route your load sizing to us and we will verify it from the datasheet.
Applications
Compact pick-and-place
The low-height cross-roller table carries a small gripper over a short 10 mm stroke, placing parts into nests or fixtures where vertical space above the slide is limited.
Assembly stage feed
On a small assembly station, the 12 mm bore table advances a part precisely to a pressing, riveting or insert station, with the cross-roller guide keeping deflection low under the load.
Gripper traverse
The dual-rod table shuttles a gripper between two pick positions in a tight cells layout, with the floating joint absorbing misalignment between the slide and the gripper mount.
FAQ
What does the S at the end of HLF12X10S mean, and do I need to order a magnet option?
S simply indicates the position-sensing magnet is fitted, and on the HLF series the magnet is standard on every unit, so there is no magnet option to add or decline. The body has magnetic-switch slots ready for CMSH, DMSH or EMSH sensor switches, which you order separately in the switch length you need.
What air supply does the HLF12X10S need?
Use clean air filtered to 40 um. The operating pressure range for the 12 mm bore is 0.15-0.7 MPa (22-100 psi), and 0.7 MPa is the maximum working pressure, so never exceed it. Control speed meter-out within the 50-500 mm/s range, and confirm allowable load and moment from the datasheet before fixing your workpiece.
