Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL12X40SAF
The AirTAC Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL12X40SAF 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 HLSL12X40SAF
The AirTAC HLSL12X40SAF is a symmetrical cross-roller slide-table cylinder combining a dual-rod air cylinder with a high-rigidity cross-roller linear guide for precise straight-line travel with minimal deflection. The 12 mm bore provides moderate thrust, and the floating joint protects both rods from side-load torque so the guide retains its accuracy. Stroke is 40 mm, and the retraction-side rubber stopper lets you fine-tune the end position on the return stroke.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with a standard sintered magnet for position sensing; CMSH, DMSH, and EMSH series sensor switches fit the body slots. We verify thrust, dimensions, and allowable load-moment from the 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
Select bore 12 for moderate thrust from a compact cross-roller guided slide; stepping up to a larger bore increases push. The cross-roller guide provides the highest rigidity and lowest deflection among the HL slide-table families. Stroke 40 mm is within the bore 12 range. The AF adjuster places an adjustable rubber stopper on the retraction side only, saving cost where the extend position is fixed. Thread is PT. We route allowable load, moment, and kinetic-energy sizing to the published datasheet tables and curves.
Applications
Retract-Positioned Gripper
Carries a gripper that picks parts on the extend stroke and releases them at a precisely adjusted retract position.
Cross-Feed Transfer
Shifts small parts laterally between two conveyors using the cross-roller guide for repeatable straight-line motion.
Probe Traverse
Moves an inspection probe across a small part surface, with the retraction-side stopper setting the return position.
FAQ
What is the difference between SA and SAF adjusters?
SA places adjustable rubber stoppers at both ends, while AF places the rubber stopper on the retraction side only, useful when the extension position is fixed and you only need to trim the return stroke.
How do I confirm allowable load and moment for the HLSL12X40SAF?
We confirm allowable load, moment, and deflection from the AirTAC published datasheet tables and curves for your specific mounting orientation. Contact us with your application details and we will verify the numbers.
