Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS12X30SAF
The AirTAC Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS12X30SAF 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 HLS12X30SAF
The AirTAC HLS12X30SAF is a double-acting dual-rod slide-table cylinder combining a cross-roller linear guide with an air cylinder. The cross-roller guide provides high precision, rigidity, and minimal deflection, and the dual rods deliver moderate thrust for a 12 mm bore over a 30 mm stroke. A floating joint shields the rods from side torque. The AF adjuster places an adjustable rubber stopper on the retraction side only, giving you fine control at the return end.
This is a genuine AirTAC part fitted with a standard sintered NdFeB magnet for position sensing compatible with CMSH, DMSH, or EMSH switches. We confirm thrust, dimensions, and load-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
Bore 12 matches applications needing moderate thrust; stepping up to a larger bore increases push. The HLS cross-roller guide is the choice when precision, rigidity, and load capacity are the priority - it resists deflection better than the HLQ ball-bearing guide, which instead excels in anti-rust and dust-proof environments. Stroke 30 mm is within the bore 12 range. The AF rubber stopper adjusts end-position cushioning on the retraction side only. PT thread is standard; request G or NPT if your fittings differ. Contact us to verify allowable load, moment, and kinetic energy from the published tables and deflection curves.
Applications
Pick-and-Place Head
Cross-roller precision positions small parts during pick-and-place cycles with repeatable accuracy at 30 mm stroke.
Small-Parts Transfer
Transfers components between conveyor stations with straight guided travel and bumper cushioning at each end.
Assembly Stage Slide
Presents a workpiece to an assembly head with rigid cross-roller guidance that resists deflection under tooling load.
FAQ
What is the difference between adjuster AF and AS on the HLS12 series?
AF places the adjustable rubber stopper on the retraction side only; AS places it on the extension side only. A adds stoppers at both ends. Shock-absorber variants (BF, BS, B) are available on bore 12 but not on bore 6.
Can I confirm load and moment ratings for HLS12X30SAF?
Yes. Allowable load, moment, and kinetic energy are published as tables and deflection curves in the AirTAC datasheet. Contact us and we will confirm the exact values for your operating conditions.
