Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS12X40SAS
The AirTAC Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS12X40SAS 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 HLS12X40SAS
The HLS12X40SAS is a genuine AirTAC double-acting dual-rod slide-table cylinder that integrates an air cylinder with a cross-roller linear guide so the moving table travels straight with minimal deflection. At bore 12 and stroke 40 it delivers moderate thrust for compact guided tasks, and the floating joint spares the rods from side torque. The AS adjuster places an adjustable rubber stopper on the extension side for controlled end-of-stroke contact.
This part is magnet-fitted as standard, with magnetic-switch slots on the body accepting CMSH, DMSH, or EMSH sensor switches. We confirm thrust, dimensions, load, and moment values from the AirTAC 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 suits applications needing moderate push force; choose a larger bore for higher thrust and a smaller bore for lighter, faster moves - the exact thrust for this model appears in the spec table. The HLS cross-roller guide offers the highest precision and rigidity among HL sub-families, ideal where low deflection and high load capacity matter. Stroke 40 is within the bore 12 range; verify your needed travel against the bore's stroke table. The AS adjuster gives an adjustable rubber stopper on the extension side; if you need shock absorption instead, consider the B or BS option. Thread is PT; select G or NPT with the corresponding suffix if your fittings require it.
We route allowable load, moment, and deflection sizing to the published AirTAC tables and curves - contact us and we will confirm the values for your application.
Applications
Small-Parts Pick-and-Place
Cross-roller precision positions miniature components onto a fixture with repeatable accuracy at each cycle.
Lateral Transfer Gate
Guided slide diverts small parts between two conveyor lanes with low deflection under the transfer load.
Gripper Traverse Stage
Mounts a gripper for short-stroke horizontal traverse where the rubber stopper sets a soft extension end position.
FAQ
What does the AS adjuster mean on HLS12X40SAS?
AS indicates an adjustable rubber stopper fitted on the extension side only, giving a cushioned, tunable end-of-stroke contact on the outward stroke while the retraction side uses the standard bumper.
What is the maximum operating pressure for this cylinder?
Maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa. For bore 12 the operating range is 0.15 to 0.7 MPa (22 to 100 psi). Meter-out speed control keeps travel within 50 to 500 mm/s.
