Airtac HLF Ultra-Slim Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLF12X40S
The AirTAC Airtac HLF Ultra-Slim Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLF12X40S 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 HLF12X40S
The HLF12X40S is an AirTAC low-height cross-roller slide-table cylinder with a 12 mm bore and 40 mm stroke. It integrates a double-acting dual-rod air cylinder with a cross-roller linear guide in a reduced-height body, so the moving table travels straight with minimal deflection. The dual rod doubles the thrust, and a floating joint spares the rod from side torque. This bore size delivers moderate thrust suitable for guided transfer and positioning in tight vertical spaces.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. A magnet is standard for position sensing, and CMSH, DMSH, or EMSH sensor switches fit the body's magnetic-switch slots. We confirm exact thrust, dimensions, and allowable load and moment values 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
Choose the 12 mm bore when you need moderate guided thrust in a low-profile envelope; a larger bore increases push force. The HLF cross-roller guide suits applications demanding high rigidity and precision in a reduced-height installation with two port sets. Select the 40 mm stroke within the bore's available range. Thread is PT (BSPT); G or NPT options use the G or T suffix. For load, moment, and kinetic-energy limits, route sizing to us - these are published as tables and deflection curves in the datasheet.
Applications
Pick-and-Place Head
Low-height cross-roller guidance positions small parts precisely in pick-and-place stations where vertical clearance is limited.
Small-Parts Transfer
Moves lightweight components between conveyor lanes with straight, deflection-resistant travel in a compact slide body.
Assembly Stage Stop
Acts as a guided stopper or positioning stage in assembly lines, holding workpieces accurately thanks to cross-roller rigidity.
FAQ
What guide type does the HLF series use?
The HLF is an integrated cross-roller slide table with a low-height body, giving high rigidity and precision straight-line travel in a more compact profile than standard HLS cross-roller tables. It provides two port sets but has no adjuster-position option.
What is the maximum operating pressure for the HLF12X40S?
Maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa (100 psi). For bore 12 the operating range is 0.15-0.7 MPa (22-100 psi). Meter-out speed control should keep travel between 50 and 500 mm/s.
