Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL12X40SB
The AirTAC Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL12X40SB 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 HLSL12X40SB
The HLSL12X40SB is a symmetrical cross-roller slide-table cylinder from AirTAC, combining an air cylinder with a precision linear guide in one compact body. The cross-roller guide delivers high rigidity and low deflection, while the dual-rod design doubles thrust and a floating joint protects the rods from side torque. Bore 12 mm and stroke 40 mm suit moderate-thrust positioning tasks where straight-line accuracy matters.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with a standard magnet for position sensing. Compatible sensor switches include CMSH, DMSH, and EMSH series, which seat in the body's magnetic-switch slots. We confirm exact thrust, dimensions, and allowable load and 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
Choose bore 12 for moderate thrust - a larger bore gives more push but uses more air. The cross-roller guide (HLS/HLSL) is the right pick when rigidity and precision outrank cost, versus the ball-bearing HLQ or the low-height HLF. This model ships with shock absorbers at both ends for end-of-stroke damping; pick BS for the extension side only or BF for retraction only if damping is needed at one end. Stroke 40 mm must be within the bore-12 range; verify against the datasheet. We confirm allowable load and moment from the published tables and deflection curves for your application.
Applications
Pick-and-Place Head
Cross-roller precision guides a small gripper between two stations with repeatable positioning.
Small-Parts Transfer
Transfers lightweight components across a short 40 mm stroke with smooth shock-absorber cushioning at both ends.
Assembly Stage Index
Indexes a workpiece or fixture into an assembly position with rigid cross-roller support.
FAQ
What is the difference between the B, BS, and BF adjuster codes on this HLSL series?
B means shock absorbers at both ends; BS fits the shock absorber on the extension side only; BF fits it on the retraction side only. All three are available on bore 12 and larger; bore 6 does not support B-type shock absorbers.
What is the maximum operating pressure for the HLSL12X40SB?
Maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa (100 psi). Operating range for bore 12 is 0.15-0.7 MPa (22-100 psi). Use meter-out speed control to keep travel between 50 and 500 mm/s, and confirm allowable load and moment from the datasheet.
