Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS25X40SAF
The AirTAC Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS25X40SAF is a genuine HLS slide-table cylinder, 25 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 378 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 HLS25X40SAF
The HLS25X40SAF is an AirTAC cross-roller guided slide-table cylinder with a 25mm bore and 40mm stroke. A linear cross-roller guide is integrated with a dual-rod, double-acting air cylinder so the moving table travels straight with minimal deflection. The cross-roller guide provides high rigidity and precision for heavier loads, and the floating joint prevents side torque on the rod. Dual rods double the thrust versus a single-rod cylinder of the same bore size.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with a standard magnet for position sensing. Compatible sensor switches include CMSH, DMSH, and EMSH series, installed in the magnetic-switch slots on the body. We confirm exact thrust, dimensions, allowable load, and moment from the manufacturer datasheet or on-page specification 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
Select the 25mm bore when higher thrust is needed in a compact guided-slide footprint. The HLS cross-roller guide is ideal for maximum rigidity and load capacity; HLQ ball-bearing guides provide anti-rust dust-proof operation, HLH offers precision-assembly straightness with three port groups, and HLF lowers overall height. Pick stroke within the bore's datasheet stroke table. This model carries an adjustable rubber stopper on the retraction side only (adjuster code AF). Thread is PT with a 1/8" port. We reference published Wmax, Emax, and moment tables and deflection curves for load and moment sizing.
Applications
Gripper Traverse
Moves a gripper across a 40mm stroke with cross-roller precision so pick positions repeat without drift under payload side-load.
Part Push-off Station
Pushes completed parts off a conveyor lane with the retraction-side rubber stopper controlling the return stroke cushioning.
Stopper and Diverter
Acts as a guided stopper pin or diverter gate on an assembly line, with the 25mm bore providing firm thrust against moving product.
FAQ
What does the AF adjuster code mean on HLS25X40SAF?
The AF code places an adjustable rubber stopper on the retraction side only, letting you fine-tune cushioning at the return end while the extension end uses the standard bumper. Other options include A for both ends, B for shock absorbers both ends, or AS, BS, BF for single-side configurations. B-type shock absorbers are not available on bore 6.
Can the HLS25 handle load and moment without a separate calculation?
No. Allowable load, moment, and kinetic energy depend on the stroke and mounting orientation and are published as Wmax, Emax, and moment tables plus deflection curves. We confirm the specific values for your application from the datasheet on request so the guide is not overloaded.
