Airtac HLF Ultra-Slim Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLF8X30S
The AirTAC Airtac HLF Ultra-Slim Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLF8X30S is a genuine HLF slide-table cylinder, 8 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 20.1 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 HLF8X30S
The AirTAC HLF8X30S is a double-acting dual-rod slide-table cylinder with an integrated cross-roller linear guide in a low-height body. At an 8 mm bore and 30 mm stroke, it delivers precise straight-line guided travel with minimal deflection, while the dual rods double the thrust output and a floating joint spares the rods from side torque. The reduced-height design suits applications where vertical clearance is limited.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with a standard magnet fitted for position sensing using CMSH, DMSH, or EMSH sensor switches in the body slots. We confirm the exact thrust, dimensions, and allowable load/moment values from the published datasheet or on-page specification 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 8 mm bore when your application needs light thrust in a compact, low-height package; a bigger bore gives more push within the HLF range (8/12/16/20). The HLF cross-roller guide prioritizes rigidity and precision in a reduced-height body versus the HLS full-height cross-roller or HLQ ball-bearing alternatives. Keep the stroke within the bore's datasheet table, and select the thread option (PT, G, or NPT) to match your fittings. We can confirm allowable load, moment, and deflection curves from the published tables for your sizing.
Applications
Pick-and-Place Head
Low-height cross-roller guidance positions small parts accurately in tight vertical spaces during automated pick-and-place cycles.
Small-Parts Transfer
Transfers lightweight components between conveyor stations with straight, repeatable travel and minimal deflection at 30 mm stroke.
Assembly Stage Slide
Indexes a workpiece or sub-assembly into position under an assembly head where clearance above the slide is restricted.
FAQ
What guide type does the HLF8X30S use?
The HLF sub-family uses an integrated cross-roller guide in a low-height body, giving high rigidity and precision with reduced overall height compared to the HLS cross-roller or HLQ ball-bearing tables. It has two port sets for flexible plumbing.
What is the maximum operating pressure for this cylinder?
Maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa (100 psi). For the 8 mm bore the operating range is 0.2-0.7 MPa (29-100 psi). Use meter-out speed control to keep travel between 50 and 500 mm/s.
