Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS6X40S
The AirTAC Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS6X40S is a genuine HLS slide-table cylinder, 6 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 21 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 HLS6X40S
The HLS6X40S is an AirTAC cross-roller slide-table cylinder with a 6 mm bore and 40 mm stroke. It integrates a cross-roller linear guide with a double-acting dual-rod air cylinder so the table travels straight with minimal deflection. The cross-roller guide gives the HLS family its highest precision and rigidity, and the dual rod doubles thrust compared to a single-rod design. A floating joint spares the rod from side torque.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with a standard magnet for position sensing. Compatible sensor switches are CMSH, DMSH, and EMSH, fitting the magnetic-switch slots on the body. We confirm thrust, dimensions, and allowable load-moment from the 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 6 mm bore suits lighter-thrust applications; choose a larger bore for more push. The HLS cross-roller guide is ideal when precision, rigidity, and low deflection are priorities. Stroke 40 mm is within the bore 6 range. This model has basic bumper cushioning with no added adjuster. Thread is PT. We route load, moment, and deflection sizing to the published tables and curves on request.
Applications
Pick-and-Place Head
Carries a small gripper for accurate part placement where cross-roller precision maintains repeatability over the 40 mm stroke.
Small-Parts Transfer
Transfers lightweight components between stations using straight-line guided travel with low deflection at 6 mm bore.
Assembly Stage Stop
Positions a tool or workpiece at an assembly station; the floating joint protects the rod from side load.
FAQ
Does HLS6X40S come with a magnet?
Yes. The S in the code means a magnet is fitted as standard on every HLS model. Position sensing uses CMSH, DMSH, or EMSH series sensor switches in the body's magnetic-switch slots.
What cushioning does HLS6X40S have?
This model has basic bumper cushioning with no added rubber-stopper or shock-absorber adjuster. If you need adjustable cushioning, choose A (both ends), AS (extension), or AF (retraction) variants. Shock-absorber B types are not available on bore 6.
