Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS12X30SBF
The AirTAC Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS12X30SBF 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 HLS12X30SBF
The HLS12X30SBF is an AirTAC cross-roller guided slide-table cylinder that integrates a double-acting dual-rod air cylinder with a precision cross-roller linear guide. At bore 12 mm and stroke 30 mm, the cross-roller guide provides high rigidity and load capacity with minimal deflection. The dual rod doubles thrust and a floating joint prevents side torque from reaching the rods. This model carries a shock absorber on the retraction side for controlled end-of-stroke cushioning.
As a genuine AirTAC part, it includes a standard sintered NdFeB magnet for position sensing and magnetic-switch slots on the body. Compatible sensors are CMSH, DMSH, and EMSH. We verify thrust, dimensions, and load-moment ratings 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 provides moderate thrust in a compact footprint; select a larger bore if higher push force is needed. The HLS cross-roller guide is chosen over ball-bearing or low-height variants when maximum rigidity and precision matter most. Stroke 30 mm is within the standard range for this bore. The BF adjuster adds a shock absorber at the retraction end only, useful when the return stroke carries more momentum. Route load and moment sizing to us for confirmation against published datasheet tables.
Applications
Gripper Traverse
Laterally indexes a gripper between two pick points with repeatable retraction-end positioning.
Component Insertion
Presses a small part into a socket on the retraction stroke with guided precision and shock absorption.
Sorting Diverter
Diverts items on a conveyor with a short guided push stroke and controlled return.
FAQ
What is the difference between BF and BS adjuster codes?
BF places a shock absorber on the retraction side only; BS places it on the extension side only. B equips both ends. These options are available on HLS bore 8 and above, not on bore 6.
How should I control speed for this cylinder?
Use meter-out speed control with flow controls, keeping the speed within 50-500 mm/s. Confirm load and moment against the datasheet tables to ensure the guide is not overloaded.
