Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS8X50SB
The AirTAC Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS8X50SB 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 HLS8X50SB
The HLS8X50SB is a genuine AirTAC cross-roller guided slide-table cylinder with an 8 mm bore and 50 mm stroke. It integrates a double-acting dual-rod 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 rods from side torque, and the dual-rod layout doubles the thrust for a compact footprint. Shock absorbers at both ends cushion impact at the stroke limits.
This model is magnet-fitted as standard, with magnetic-switch slots on the body compatible with AirTAC CMSH, DMSH, and EMSH sensor switches. We confirm the exact thrust, dimensions, allowable load, and moment values from the published 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
A bore 8 slide table suits applications needing light to moderate push force in a small package; for more thrust, step up to a larger bore within the HLS range. The cross-roller guide is the highest-precision, highest-rigidity option among AirTAC slide tables, ideal where deflection must be minimal. This model includes shock absorbers on both ends, absorbing end-of-stroke kinetic energy that a basic bumper cannot; choose the BF (retraction-only) or BS (extension-only) variant if you need damping on just one side. The 50 mm stroke must fall within the bore-8 stroke table. Ports are M5x0.8 with PT threads; specify G or NPT if your fittings require a different standard. Route load, moment, and kinetic-energy sizing to us so we can confirm against the published Wmax, Emax, and moment tables and deflection curves.
Applications
Pick-and-Place Head
Cross-roller precision guides a small vacuum gripper head through 50 mm of repeatable travel for component placement on a PCB assembly line.
Small-Parts Transfer Stop
Acts as a powered stopper gate on a conveyor, extending 50 mm to halt small stamped parts precisely before a downstream pickoff station.
Assembly Stage Traverse
Moves a light tooling bracket 50 mm between two assembly stations, using the dual shock absorbers to settle the table quickly at each end.
FAQ
What does the SB adjuster code mean on this HLS8X50 model?
SB indicates a shock absorber at both the extension and retraction ends of the stroke. This provides kinetic-energy damping at both limits, which is more effective than a rubber bumper for faster cycle speeds. B-type adjusters are available on bores 8 and above; bore 6 is limited to bumper or rubber-stopper options.
What is the maximum operating pressure for this bore 8 cylinder?
The maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa (100 psi). For bores 6, 8, and 10 the operating range is 0.2-0.7 MPa (29-100 psi); for bores 12 and larger the range is 0.15-0.7 MPa. Proof pressure is 1.2 MPa. Never exceed 0.7 MPa working pressure.
