Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS12X50SB
The AirTAC Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS12X50SB 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 HLS12X50SB
The AirTAC HLS12X50SB is a double-acting dual-rod slide-table cylinder that integrates an air cylinder with a cross-roller linear guide for straight, rigid, low-deflection travel. The dual rod doubles thrust for the bore and the floating joint keeps side torque off the rod so the cross-roller guide retains its precision. This bore 12 mm, 50 mm stroke unit carries shock absorbers at both ends, smoothing end-of-stroke impact for higher approach speeds and longer guide life.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. A position-sensing magnet is standard; AirTAC CMSH, DMSH, and EMSH sensor switches fit the magnetic-switch slots on the cylinder body. We confirm the exact thrust, dimensions, and load-moment values for this model 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 determines thrust; a bigger bore gives more push, and the cross-roller guide keeps deflection low regardless of bore. The HLS cross-roller family is selected for highest rigidity and precision among the HL slide tables. The 50 mm stroke must be within the bore 12 stroke table. The B adjuster means shock absorbers on both ends, which is ideal when approach speeds are high or the moved mass is significant; rubber stoppers (A, AS, AF) are lighter-duty alternatives. Thread is PT; G or NPT can be specified. Route allowable load, moment, and deflection sizing to us, confirming from the published Wmax, moment, and deflection curves.
Applications
High-Speed Pick-and-Place
Cycles a gripper head across 50 mm at higher approach speeds with both-end shock absorbers absorbing impact so the cross-roller guide stays precise and settled.
Transfer Shuttle
Shuttles small parts between conveyor lanes with bore 12 dual-rod thrust, the shock absorbers cushioning each end stop to protect both the workpiece and the guide.
Adjustable Stop Station
Indexes a workpiece or stopper finger into a repeatable position, with shock-absorber end stopping giving smooth deceleration under higher moving mass.
FAQ
What is the B adjuster on the HLS12X50SB?
B means shock absorbers fitted on both extension and retraction ends, giving smoother end-of-stroke deceleration than rubber stoppers. Shock absorbers are available from bore 12 upward; they are not offered on bore 6. If you need stopping on one side only, choose BS (extension) or BF (retraction).
What load and moment can the HLS12X50SB carry?
Allowable load, moment, and table deflection are published as Wmax and moment tables and deflection curves in the AirTAC datasheet for the HLS cross-roller guide. We confirm the exact values for your bore, stroke, and working point on request, so the guide is not overloaded.
