Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS8X50S
The AirTAC Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS8X50S 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 HLS8X50S
The HLS8X50S is an AirTAC cross-roller guided slide-table cylinder with a bore of 8 mm and a 50 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. Basic bumper cushions both ends of stroke.
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 50 mm sits within the bore-8 stroke table. The basic adjuster uses a rubber bumper at both ends; 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 Head
Cross-roller rigidity carries a small suction head over a 50 mm stroke with consistent straight travel.
Small-Part Shuttle
Dual-rod slide shuttles light trays between stations with low deflection under payload.
Assembly Stage Positioner
Bumper-cushioned 50 mm travel positions a workpiece at an assembly stop repeatably.
FAQ
Does HLS8X50S include a shock absorber?
No. The blank adjuster code means a basic rubber bumper at both ends. For shock-absorber cushioning, choose a B, BS or BF coded variant.
How is load and moment capacity confirmed for HLS8X50S?
Allowable load, moment and kinetic energy are published as Wmax/Emax/moment tables with deflection curves. We confirm the values for your stroke from the datasheet on request.
