Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS12X50SBS
The AirTAC Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS12X50SBS 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 HLS12X50SBS
The HLS12X50SBS is a genuine AirTAC cross-roller slide-table cylinder with a 12 mm bore and 50 mm stroke. It combines a double-acting air cylinder with a linear cross-roller guide for precise straight-line movement with high rigidity. The dual-rod construction doubles thrust versus a single-rod unit, and the floating joint prevents side torque from loading the rods.
A magnet is standard, and CMSH, DMSH, or EMSH sensor switches fit the body slots. The BS adjuster code means a shock absorber is installed on the extension side to cushion the forward stroke. We verify thrust, dimensions, and load-moment data 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
The 12 mm bore delivers moderate thrust for compact guided applications; step up to a larger bore for higher force. The HLS cross-roller guide is the choice when rigidity and precision straightness are the priority. Stroke 50 mm is within the bore 12 range. The BS adjuster provides shock absorption on the extension side for heavier forward-stroke loads. Ports are 1/8 inch PT thread. For allowable load, moment, and deflection, refer to the published tables and curves in the datasheet - we can help confirm values for your load case.
Applications
Gripper Traverse
Carries a gripper forward 50 mm to grasp and retract parts with extension-side shock absorption protecting the work at stroke end.
Component Insertion
Pushes a small part or pin into a housing with the cross-roller guide maintaining alignment under load for repeatable insertion.
Tooling Positioner
Indexes a small tool or probe into position on the extension stroke with controlled deceleration from the BS shock absorber.
FAQ
What does BS mean in the model code HLS12X50SBS?
B indicates a shock absorber and S places it on the extension side. This cushions the forward stroke end-of-travel. Shock-absorber adjusters (B, BS, BF) are available on bore 12 and larger HLS models but not on bore 6.
Can I use this slide table at 1.0 MPa?
No. The maximum working pressure for the HLS series is 0.7 MPa (100 psi). Operating range for bore 12 is 0.15-0.7 MPa (22-100 psi). Proof pressure is 1.2 MPa (175 psi) for testing only. Meter-out speed control keeps travel within 50-500 mm/s.
