Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS12X100S

The HLS12X100S is a double-acting, dual-rod slide table cylinder in which the air cylinder is built into a cross-roller linear guide, the highest-precision and most rigid guide type in the HL family. At bore 12 with a 100 mm stroke it offers moderate thrust for compact handling tasks; the dual rods double the effective push, the cross-roller guide holds the table on a straight path with low deflection under load, and the floating joint keeps side torque from the workpiece off the rods. In practice this means repeatable positioning where an ordinary rod cylinder would wander.

This is a genuine AirTAC part with the position magnet fitted as standard, so CMSH, DMSH or EMSH sensor switches mount directly in the slots on the body. It runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-0.7 MPa (22-100 psi) for this bore, withstands proof pressure of 1.2 MPa (175 psi), and operates from -20 to 70 C at 50-500 mm/s. The exact thrust, dimensions and allowable load and moment figures for HLS12X100S are carried in the on-page spec table and datasheet, and we confirm them from the datasheet on request.

Bore 12 delivers moderate push; choose a larger bore, 16, 20 or 25, when the application needs higher thrust, since thrust rises with bore area. Choose HLS when top precision, rigidity and low deflection are the priority; pick HLQ instead if anti-rust, dust-proof ball-bearing guidance suits the environment better. A 100 mm stroke sits within the published bore-12 stroke table for this series. This model carries no adjuster code, so it has the basic bumper cushion; adjustable rubber-stopper (A) and shock-absorber (B) settings, including single-side variants such as AS, AF, BS and BF, are selectable on HLS when controlled deceleration is required. PT thread is standard, with G and NPT (T) options. Allowable load, moment and kinetic energy are published as tables and curves, and we confirm the sizing from the datasheet with you.
