Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL12X40SBS
The AirTAC Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL12X40SBS 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 HLSL12X40SBS
The HLSL12X40SBS is a symmetrical cross-roller slide-table cylinder from AirTAC that combines an air cylinder with a precision cross-roller guide in a single body. The cross-roller mechanism delivers high rigidity and low deflection, the dual-rod design doubles thrust, and a floating joint shields the rods from side torque. Bore 12 mm and stroke 40 mm are suited to moderate-thrust guided motion tasks.
This is a genuine AirTAC component with a standard magnet fitted for position sensing. CMSH, DMSH, and EMSH series sensor switches fit 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
Bore 12 provides moderate thrust; step up to a larger bore for more push force. The cross-roller guide (HLS/HLSL) is preferred for maximum rigidity and precision over the ball-bearing HLQ or the low-height HLF. This model includes a shock absorber on the extension side only - choose BS when the forward stroke needs end-of-travel damping. Verify that the 40 mm stroke falls within the bore-12 range, and we will confirm allowable load and moment from the published tables and deflection curves.
Applications
Pick-and-Place Head
Cross-roller precision moves a small gripper forward to pick parts with extension-side shock absorption for gentle contact.
Stopper Pin Slide
Extends a stopper pin into a conveyor lane with damped end-of-stroke for quiet, repeatable part positioning.
Gripper Traverse
Traverses a small gripper across a 40 mm stroke with rigid cross-roller support and controlled extension damping.
FAQ
What does the BS adjuster code mean on HLSL12X40SBS?
BS indicates a shock absorber fitted on the extension side only. The retraction end uses a standard bumper. Other options are B (both ends), BF (retraction side), and a blank code for the basic bumper-only version.
What pressure and speed limits apply to the HLSL12X40SBS?
Maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa (100 psi). For bore 12 the operating range is 0.15-0.7 MPa (22-100 psi). Keep speed within 50-500 mm/s using meter-out flow control. We confirm allowable load and moment from the datasheet tables.
