Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS8X30SAF
The AirTAC Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS8X30SAF 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 HLS8X30SAF
The HLS8X30SAF is a genuine AirTAC double-acting dual-rod slide-table cylinder combining an air cylinder with a cross-roller linear guide for straight, low-deflection table travel. Bore 8 mm and 30 mm stroke suit compact duties with light thrust requirements. The AF adjuster places an adjustable rubber stopper on the retraction side only, letting you tune the home return position precisely while the extension end uses the standard bumper.
Every unit carries a standard magnet for position sensing. CMSH, DMSH and EMSH sensor switches mount in the body slots. We verify thrust, dimensions, allowable load and moment 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 for small components; larger HLS bores deliver more force. The cross-roller guide is the most rigid and precise option in the HL family, best when deflection must be minimal. The AF adjuster adds a retraction-side adjustable rubber stopper, useful when the home position must be field-tuned but the extend position can rely on the built-in bumper. Thread is standard PT.
Applications
Return-Position Pick Unit
Picks parts at a precisely tuned home position with the retraction-side rubber stopper, then extends to place with cross-roller guidance.
Vertical Lift Stage
Lifts a light payload on the extend stroke and returns to a field-adjustable home stop with cross-roller straightness.
Probe Contact Stage
Extends a test probe to contact a part and retracts to a tuned rest position with rigid guided travel for repeatable testing.
FAQ
What is the difference between AF and A adjusters on the HLS series?
The A adjuster places adjustable rubber stoppers at both stroke ends. The AF adjuster places the adjustable rubber stopper only on the retraction side; the extension side uses the standard bumper. Choose AF when only the home return position needs field tuning.
What speed range and pressure limits apply to the HLS8X30SAF?
Speed range is 50-500 mm/s with meter-out flow control. Operating pressure for bore 8 is 0.2-0.7 MPa (29-100 psi); maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa. Ambient temperature range is -20 to 70 C.
