Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS8X40SBS
The AirTAC Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS8X40SBS 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 HLS8X40SBS
The HLS8X40SBS is an AirTAC cross-roller guided slide-table cylinder with a bore of 8 mm and a 40 mm stroke. The integrated cross-roller guide keeps the moving table traveling straight with high rigidity and low deflection, while the dual-rod double-acting design doubles thrust and a floating joint protects the rods from side torque. A shock absorber on the extension side cushions end-of-stroke impact.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with a standard magnet fitted for position sensing via CMSH, DMSH or EMSH switches mounted in the body slots. Contact us to confirm thrust, dimensions and allowable load/moment from the datasheet or on-page table.

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 light to moderate thrust needs; step up the bore for more push. The HLS cross-roller guide is the choice for highest precision and rigidity versus the HLQ ball-bearing or HLH/HLF variants. Stroke 40 mm sits within the bore-8 stroke table. The BS adjuster adds a shock absorber on the extension side; ports are PT thread (M5x0.8). We confirm load/moment sizing from the published Wmax/Emax tables and deflection curves on request.
Applications
Pick-and-Place Extend Stop
Shock-absorber extension stop lands a pick head gently at full extend for delicate part placement.
Small-Parts Index
Cross-roller precision indexes small parts along a conveyor with consistent 40 mm travel.
Gripper Traverse Stage
Dual-rod slide carries a gripper across a fixture with low deflection under side load.
FAQ
What does the BS adjuster code mean on HLS8X40SBS?
B = shock absorber and S = extension side, so the cylinder uses a shock absorber to cushion the extension end of stroke; the retraction side uses a standard bumper.
Can the HLS8 use a shock absorber on bore 8?
Yes. The B-type shock-absorber option is not offered on bore 6, but bore 8 and larger support B, BS and BF adjuster codes.
