Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS8X10SBF
The AirTAC Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS8X10SBF 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 HLS8X10SBF
The AirTAC HLS8X10SBF is a double-acting dual-rod slide-table cylinder that integrates an air cylinder with a cross-roller linear guide, so the moving table travels straight with high rigidity and low deflection. A floating joint spares the rod from side torque, and the dual rod doubles the thrust for this bore 8, stroke 10 mm unit. The cross-roller guide delivers the highest precision and load capacity in the HLS family, and the BF adjuster equips the retraction side with a shock absorber for smooth end-of-stroke deceleration.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with a standard sintered NdFeB magnet fitted for position sensing with CMSH, DMSH, or EMSH sensor switches in the body slots. We confirm the exact thrust, dimensions, and allowable load/moment values from the AirTAC datasheet or on-page specification 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 8 suits compact automation needing moderate thrust in a small footprint; a larger bore gives more push when your application demands it, and the verified thrust for this model is listed in the spec table. The HLS cross-roller guide is chosen when precision, rigidity, and load capacity matter more than cost, versus the HLQ ball-bearing or HLF low-height variants. Stroke 10 mm is within the bore 8 range; keep stroke inside the bore's published table.
The BF code means a shock absorber is fitted on the retraction side for controlled stopping at the rod-in end. Thread is PT (tapered) as standard; request G or NPT if your fittings differ. Route allowable load, moment, and kinetic energy sizing to us - AirTAC publishes these as Wmax, Emax, and moment tables plus deflection curves.
Applications
Pick-and-Place Head
Mounts a small vacuum gripper for precise vertical pick-and-place of electronic components with cross-roller guided repeatability at 10 mm stroke.
Small-Parts Transfer
Transfers lightweight parts between conveyor stations with straight, low-deflection travel and shock-absorber cushioning on the retraction end.
Assembly Stage Push
Feeds a small part into an assembly fixture at 10 mm stroke, relying on the dual rod for doubled thrust and the cross-roller guide for alignment.
FAQ
What does the BF adjuster code mean on this HLS8X10SBF?
BF indicates a shock absorber fitted on the retraction side only. The extension side retains the standard bumper. Shock absorbers are not offered on bore 6, but bore 8 supports them; B-type adjusters provide smoother end-of-stroke deceleration than rubber stoppers.
What is the maximum operating pressure for this bore 8 slide table?
Maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa (100 psi). For bore 8 the operating range is 0.2-0.7 MPa (29-100 psi). Never exceed 0.7 MPa. Use filtered air (40 um) and meter-out speed control to stay within 50-500 mm/s.
