Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS12X40SBS
The AirTAC Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS12X40SBS 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 HLS12X40SBS
The HLS12X40SBS is a 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 high precision and rigidity. The cross-roller guide keeps deflection low under side loads, and the dual rod doubles the thrust for a bore 12 unit. A floating joint spares the rod from side torque so the guide bearings last longer. This 40 mm stroke version includes a shock absorber on the extension side for smoother end-of-stroke deceleration.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with a standard magnet for position sensing using CMSH, DMSH or EMSH switches mounted in the body slots. We confirm exact thrust, dimensions, allowable load and moment from the datasheet or on-page spec table on request so you can verify the numbers before ordering.

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 gives moderate thrust for a compact guided slide; stepping up to bore 16 or 20 raises push and pull force if your payload requires it. The HLS cross-roller guide is the choice when rigidity and precision matter most, versus the HLQ ball-bearing table which adds corrosion and dust resistance. Stroke 40 mm sits within the standard range for bore 12. The BS adjuster adds a shock absorber on the extension side for gentler stopping, and the PT thread matches common fittings. For allowable load and moment we route sizing to the published tables and deflection curves.
Applications
Pick-and-Place Head
Mounts a small vacuum gripper for precise part placement on a PCB assembly line where cross-roller straightness keeps positional repeatability tight.
Small-Parts Transfer
Shuttles components between stations on a conveyor indexing system with the 40 mm stroke and shock-absorber stop protecting delicate workpieces.
Assembly Stage Stopper
Positions a sub-assembly for a press or screwdriving head, using the cross-roller guide to hold the workpiece flat against side load.
FAQ
What does the BS adjuster code mean on HLS12X40SBS?
BS means a shock absorber is fitted on the extension side, giving smoother deceleration at the forward end of stroke. The retraction end uses the standard bumper. If you need shock absorption on both ends choose B, or on the retraction side choose BF.
What is the maximum operating pressure for this bore 12 slide table?
Maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa (100 psi). The operating range for bore 12 is 0.15-0.7 MPa (22-100 psi). Keep meter-out speed at or below 500 mm/s. We confirm allowable load and moment from the datasheet on request.
