Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL12X30SAF
The AirTAC Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL12X30SAF is a genuine HLS slide-table cylinder, 12 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 85 N of push at 0.5 MPa. This is the symmetrical version. A floating joint spares the rod from side torque; the magnet is fitted as standard.

About the Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL12X30SAF
The AirTAC HLSL12X30SAF is a symmetrical cross-roller slide-table cylinder that integrates a double-acting air cylinder with a precision linear guide. The bore 12 body with a 30 mm stroke uses a cross-roller guide for high rigidity and low deflection, while the dual-rod design doubles thrust and a floating joint spares the rods from side torque. The AF adjuster adds an adjustable rubber stopper on the retraction side for tuned end-of-stroke cushioning.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with a standard sintered NdFeB magnet for position sensing using CMSH, DMSH or EMSH switches. We confirm thrust, dimensions, and load-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 12 delivers moderate thrust for medium-duty guided tasks; choose a bigger bore when you need more push. The cross-roller guide in the HLS/HLSL sub-family offers the highest precision and rigidity among the HL line, making it the pick where deflection must be minimized. The symmetrical HLSL body suits layouts that need balanced dimensions on both sides. The AF code means an adjustable rubber stopper is fitted on the retraction end; thread is PT as standard (specify G for G-thread or T for NPT if your fittings differ). We route allowable load and moment sizing to the published tables and deflection curves on request.
Applications
Pick-and-Place Head
Cross-roller precision and low deflection keep a gripper aligned during vertical pick-and-place of small electronic components.
Small-Parts Transfer
Dual-rod thrust pushes a transfer arm across a conveyor with repeatable end positioning at 30 mm stroke.
Assembly Stage Slide
The symmetrical body and retraction-side rubber stopper provide stable, cushioned retraction for a part-presenting assembly stage.
FAQ
What does the AF adjuster code mean on this model?
The AF code adds an adjustable rubber stopper on the retraction side of this HLSL slide table, letting you fine-tune end-of-stroke cushioning at the retract position without adding a shock absorber.
What is the maximum operating pressure for bore 12?
Maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa (100 psi). For bore 12 the operating range is 0.15-0.7 MPa (22-100 psi). Use meter-out speed control to keep travel between 50-500 mm/s.
