Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS8X10SAF
The AirTAC Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS8X10SAF is a genuine HLS slide-table cylinder, 8 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 38 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 HLS8X10SAF
The AirTAC HLS8X10SAF is a double-acting dual-rod slide-table cylinder integrating an air cylinder with a cross-roller linear guide. The cross-roller guide provides high precision, rigidity, and low deflection, while the dual rod doubles the thrust for light push in this 8 mm bore. A floating joint spares the rod from side torque, ensuring smooth straight travel over the 10 mm stroke.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with a standard magnet fitted for position sensing using CMSH, DMSH, or EMSH switches. The adjuster is an adjustable rubber stopper on the retraction side. We confirm the exact thrust, dimensions, and allowable load-moment from the datasheet or on-page 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 this 8 mm bore when you need a compact slide table with light thrust. The HLS cross-roller guide is ideal for applications requiring maximum precision and rigidity compared to the HLQ ball-bearing, HLH miniature roller-ball, or HLF low-height variants. Stroke is selected within the bore's available range; this model has a 10 mm stroke. The AF adjuster provides a rubber stopper on the retraction side, and the thread is standard PT. Route load and moment sizing to us, as these are published as tables and curves.
Applications
Assembly Stage
Precise cross-roller guided travel for a 10 mm stroke positioning an assembly stage.
Small-Parts Transfer
Moves small components accurately between stations with low deflection.
Gripper Traverse
Mounts a gripper for light thrust pick-and-place without side torque on the rod.
FAQ
What does the AF adjuster code mean on this HLS8 model?
The AF code indicates an adjustable rubber stopper installed on the retraction side of the slide table, allowing you to fine-tune the end-of-stroke stopping position.
What is the maximum operating pressure for this cylinder?
The maximum operating pressure is 0.7 MPa. For this 8 mm bore, the operating pressure range is 0.2 to 0.7 MPa (29 to 100 psi). Meter-out speed control should keep travel at or below 500 mm/s.
