Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS8X30S
The AirTAC Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS8X30S 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 HLS8X30S
The HLS8X30S is a genuine AirTAC 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 minimal deflection. The bore 8 mm and 30 mm stroke suit compact positioning duties where light thrust is enough; the cross-roller guide delivers high rigidity and precise repeatable travel, and the floating joint spares the rod from side torque.
Every unit in this line ships with a standard magnet for position sensing. Compatible sensor switches include CMSH, DMSH and EMSH series, which seat in the magnetic-switch slots on the body. We confirm exact thrust, dimensions, allowable load and 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
Bore 8 mm provides light thrust suitable for small-part handling; choose a larger bore from the HLS range (up to 25 mm) when you need more push force. The cross-roller guide in HLS is the top choice for highest precision and rigidity among the HL sub-families, ideal when deflection must be minimal. Select the 30 mm stroke within the bore 8 stroke table. This model has no adjuster (basic bumper cushion). For shock absorption at stroke ends, consider the A (adjustable rubber stopper) or B (shock absorber) variants. Thread is standard PT.
Applications
Pick-and-Place Head
Mounts a small vacuum gripper for precise pick-and-place of electronic components with cross-roller straightness.
Small-Parts Transfer
Transfers tiny parts between conveyor stations with repeatable 30 mm guided strokes in a compact bore 8 body.
Assembly Stage Traverse
Positions a light assembly tool head across a short stroke with rigid cross-roller guidance for repeatable placement.
FAQ
Does the HLS8X30S come with a magnet, or is it optional?
The magnet is standard on every HLS cylinder; the S in the code denotes a magnet-fitted unit. You cannot decline it. CMSH, DMSH and EMSH series sensor switches seat directly in the body slots for position detection.
What is the maximum working pressure for bore 8?
Maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa (100 psi). Operating pressure for bore 8 is 0.2-0.7 MPa (29-100 psi). Proof pressure is 1.2 MPa (175 psi). Speed range is 50-500 mm/s using meter-out flow control.
