Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS12X50SBF
The AirTAC Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS12X50SBF 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 HLS12X50SBF
The HLS12X50SBF is a genuine AirTAC cross-roller slide-table cylinder with a 12 mm bore and 50 mm stroke. It integrates a double-acting air cylinder with a linear cross-roller guide so the moving table travels straight with high precision and rigidity. The dual-rod design doubles thrust compared to a single-rod cylinder, and a floating joint spares the rods from side torque for smoother operation.
This model is magnet-fitted as standard and accepts CMSH, DMSH, or EMSH sensor switches in the body slots. The BF adjuster code means a shock absorber is installed on the retraction side for controlled end-of-stroke deceleration. 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
A 12 mm bore provides moderate thrust for compact guided-slide tasks; choose a larger bore if your application needs more push. The HLS cross-roller guide is selected when rigidity and precise straight-line travel matter most. Stroke 50 mm must fall within the bore 12 stroke table. The BF adjuster adds a shock absorber on the retraction side for heavier end-of-stroke loads. Ports are 1/8 inch PT thread. Allowable load, moment, and deflection are published as tables and curves in the datasheet - contact us to confirm sizing for your specific setup.
Applications
Pick-and-Place Head
Mounts a small gripper for precise part pickup and placement where the cross-roller guide keeps deflection low over the 50 mm travel.
Small-Parts Transfer
Transfers lightweight components between stations with controlled retraction-side shock absorption for repeatable stopping.
Assembly Stage Slide
Positions a sub-assembly or tooling head against a workpiece with the dual-rod thrust and cross-roller rigidity needed for consistent results.
FAQ
What does the BF code mean on HLS12X50SBF?
B indicates a shock absorber and F places it on the retraction side. This cushions the return stroke end-of-travel for heavier loads. B-type shock absorbers are available on bore 12 and larger HLS models.
What is the maximum operating pressure for this bore 12 slide table?
The maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa (100 psi). The operating range for bore 12 is 0.15-0.7 MPa (22-100 psi). Proof pressure is 1.2 MPa (175 psi). Meter-out speed control keeps travel between 50-500 mm/s.
