Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS12X100SBF
The AirTAC Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS12X100SBF is a genuine HLS slide-table cylinder, 12 mm bore: a double-acting dual-rod air cylinder integrated with a cross-roller guide so the table travels straight with high rigidity and low deflection. It delivers about 85 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 HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS12X100SBF
The AirTAC HLS12X100SBF is a double-acting dual-rod slide-table cylinder with an integrated cross-roller linear guide for straight, low-deflection table travel. The 12 mm bore and 100 mm stroke give moderate thrust through two rods while the floating joint prevents side torque on the rods. This variant fits a shock absorber on the retraction side only, cushioning the return stroke where the impact is highest.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with a standard magnet for position sensing; CMSH, DMSH and EMSH series switches mount in the body slots. We provide the exact thrust, dimensions, load and moment ratings from the published datasheet or on-page 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
Bore 12 balances moderate thrust against a compact body within the HLS cross-roller family; a bigger bore gives more push, a smaller bore is lighter for fine gripper work. Stroke 100 mm is available within the bore 12 range - consult the datasheet table for the full list. Adjuster BF places the shock absorber on the retraction side, ideal when the return stroke carries the heavier or faster-moving load; choose B for both ends, AF for rubber stopper retraction side, or blank for the basic bumper. Thread is PT; G and NPT are available on request. We confirm load, moment and deflection from the published tables and curves - share your application for sizing help.
Applications
Gripper Traverse
A 12 mm bore cross-roller slide moves a gripper cleanly through 100 mm with low table deflection at the work face.
Return-Stroke Transfer
Shock absorber on the retraction side cushions the heavier return of a parts shuttle for smooth, repeatable cycling.
Assembly Positioning
Dual-rod straight-line travel positions a subassembly fixture accurately across a 100 mm working stroke.
FAQ
What does the BF adjuster mean on HLS12X100SBF?
BF means a shock absorber on the retraction side only. This is chosen when the return stroke has the higher impact or speed and the extension side can use the standard bumper. B (both ends) is the alternative when both directions need cushioning.
Is the magnet optional on this slide table?
No. The S in the model code means a magnet is standard and fitted to every unit; it is not an option to decline. Compatible position sensors are the CMSH, DMSH and EMSH series mounted in the body slots.
