Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS6X50SAS
The AirTAC Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS6X50SAS 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 HLS6X50SAS
The AirTAC HLS6X50SAS is a cross-roller guided slide-table cylinder with a 6 mm bore and 50 mm stroke. A dual-rod, double-acting air cylinder is integrated with a high-precision cross-roller linear guide so the moving table travels in a straight line with minimal deflection. The dual rod doubles the thrust, and a floating joint prevents side torque from reaching the rod. Bore 6 delivers light thrust suited to compact positioning tasks, and the AS adjuster adds extension-side rubber stoppers for controlled end-of-stroke deceleration.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with a standard magnet fitted for position sensing using CMSH, DMSH, or EMSH switches in the body slots. We confirm thrust, dimensions, and allowable load/moment values 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
Choose bore 6 for light-thrust, space-constrained applications where the cross-roller guide provides maximum rigidity and precision. The 50 mm stroke suits short-travel pick-and-place or transfer moves. The AS adjuster gives adjustable rubber stopping on the extension side; select bore 8 or larger if you need more thrust or shock-absorber cushioning (B-type adjusters are not available on bore 6). Thread is PT standard; request G or NPT if your fittings differ. We confirm allowable load and moment from the published tables and deflection curves during sizing.
Applications
Pick-and-Place Head
Mounts a small vacuum gripper for precise component placement on a compact assembly line.
Small-Parts Transfer
Moves lightweight parts between stations with straight, low-deflection travel on a 50 mm stroke.
Gripper Traverse Stage
Positions a parallel gripper for part gripping and release in a tight-envelope assembly cell.
FAQ
What does the AS adjuster mean on HLS6X50SAS?
AS indicates adjustable rubber stoppers on the extension side only. The basic cylinder has bumper cushions; AS adds external rubber stoppers you can tune for softer end-of-stroke contact on the forward end. B-type shock-absorber adjusters are not available on bore 6.
What is the maximum operating pressure for this cylinder?
Maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa (100 psi). For bore 6 the operating range is 0.2 to 0.7 MPa (29 to 100 psi). Meter-out speed control keeps travel within 50 to 500 mm/s.
