The AirTAC Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS6X50SAF 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.
The HLS6X50SAF is a genuine AirTAC cross-roller slide-table cylinder pairing a double-acting dual-rod air cylinder with an integrated cross-roller linear guide. Bore 6 and 50 mm stroke make it compact yet rigid; the cross-roller construction minimises deflection and maintains straight travel. A floating joint isolates the rods from side torque, and the dual rods double the thrust for this small-bore size.
The AF adjuster provides an adjustable rubber stopper on the retraction side only, letting you fine-tune the retracted position. A standard magnet supports CMSH, DMSH or EMSH position sensors. We confirm exact thrust, dimensions and load-moment figures 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.
Bore 6 delivers light thrust for delicate or compact tasks; if you need more force, choose a larger bore within the 0.7 MPa pressure limit. The HLS cross-roller guide suits applications where rigidity and low deflection matter most. The AF stopper is useful when only the retraction end position needs tuning. Stroke 50 mm is within the bore 6 range.
Ports are PT; specify G or NPT thread if required. Contact us for published load-moment tables and deflection curves to confirm sizing.
Tune the retraction stop precisely so the tool returns to the same pickup point every cycle on a 50 mm stroke.
Shuttle lightweight workpieces along cross-roller rails with the retracted end position adjustable for docking alignment.
Mount a small gripper and set the retracted home position with the AF rubber stopper for repeatable clamping moves.
AF places an adjustable rubber stopper on the retraction side only; A places adjustable rubber stoppers at both ends. Choose AF when only the retracted position needs tuning.
Allowable load, moment and deflection are published as tables and curves in the AirTAC datasheet. Contact us with your application parameters and we confirm the values for you.
