Airtac HLF Ultra-Slim Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLF12X50S
The AirTAC Airtac HLF Ultra-Slim Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLF12X50S 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 HLF12X50S
The HLF12X50S is an AirTAC low-height cross-roller slide-table cylinder with a 12 mm bore and 50 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 tasks where vertical space is constrained.
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 50 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
Component Placement Stage
Low-height cross-roller guidance places electronic components accurately on substrates where machine height must stay minimal.
Gripper Traverse
Carries a gripper across a 50 mm stroke with straight, rigid motion so parts remain aligned during pick-up and release.
Low-Profile Transfer
Transfers small workpieces between stations in compact automation cells where a standard-height slide would not fit.
FAQ
How does the HLF12X50S differ from an HLS cross-roller table?
The HLF uses the same cross-roller guide principle as the HLS but in a reduced-height body, making it ideal for installations with tight vertical clearance. It offers two port sets rather than the full HLS porting options and has no adjuster-position code.
Where can I find the allowable load and moment for this model?
Allowable load, moment, and kinetic-energy values are published as tables and deflection curves in the AirTAC datasheet. We confirm the exact values for the HLF12X50S from the datasheet or on-page spec table on request.
