Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS6X50S
The AirTAC Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS6X50S 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 HLS6X50S
The HLS6X50S is a genuine AirTAC cross-roller slide-table cylinder combining a double-acting air cylinder with an integrated linear guide. The bore 6 body with 50 mm stroke uses a cross-roller guide for high rigidity and precise straight travel, while the dual-rod design doubles thrust and a floating joint protects the rods from side torque. This compact unit suits tight assemblies where guided motion matters more than raw force.
A standard magnet is fitted for position sensing with CMSH, DMSH or EMSH switches mounted in the body slots. We confirm exact thrust, dimensions and load-moment values from the AirTAC datasheet or the 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 6 provides light thrust suitable for small-part handling; choose a larger bore if you need more push without exceeding the 0.7 MPa maximum working pressure. The HLS cross-roller guide is the top choice for precision and rigidity where deflection must be minimised. Stroke 50 mm falls within the bore 6 range. This model ships with basic bumpers and PT ports; select G or NPT thread if your fittings require it.
For load, moment and deflection sizing we route you to the published AirTAC tables and curves - contact us with your application details.
Applications
Pick-and-Place Head
Mount a small vacuum nozzle on the 50 mm stroke for precise component placement in electronics assembly.
Small-Parts Transfer
Shift lightweight workpieces between stations with the cross-roller guide keeping travel straight and repeatable.
Gripper Traverse
Carry a miniature gripper along the 50 mm stroke for short pick-off or clamping moves in compact fixturing.
FAQ
Does the HLS6X50S come with a magnet as standard?
Yes. Every HLS model is magnet-fitted; position sensing uses CMSH, DMSH or EMSH switches in the body slots. The magnet is not optional.
What is the maximum operating pressure for bore 6?
Maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa. Bore 6 operates from 0.2 to 0.7 MPa (29-100 psi). Never exceed 0.7 MPa.
