Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL12X50SAF
The AirTAC Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL12X50SAF 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 HLSL12X50SAF
The HLSL12X50SAF is a symmetrical cross-roller guided slide-table cylinder with an adjustable rubber stopper on the retraction side. AirTAC combines a double-acting dual-rod air cylinder with a high-rigidity cross-roller linear guide in a single body, so the table moves straight and precisely through the 50 mm stroke. The dual rod provides higher thrust for the 12 mm bore size, and the floating joint isolates the rods from side torque.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with a standard sintered NdFeB magnet for position sensing; CMSH, DMSH and EMSH sensor switches fit the body slots. The AF adjuster places a field-adjustable rubber stopper at the retraction end only, useful when the return stroke needs controlled stopping but the extension end uses the standard bumper. We confirm thrust, dimensions and allowable load-moment from the AirTAC datasheet or on-page 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
The 12 mm bore provides moderate thrust; select a larger bore when more push force is needed and space allows. The cross-roller HLSL guide is the highest-rigidity choice in the HL family - pick it when precision and low deflection are the priority. The AF adjuster on this model adds a tunable rubber stopper at the retraction end specifically; if you need stoppers at both ends, choose the A variant. PT thread ports are standard. For load, moment and deflection sizing, rely on the published datasheet tables and curves - contact us for verified values.
Applications
Pick-and-Place Head
Cross-roller rigidity keeps the gripper aligned during rapid cycles, with the retraction-side rubber stopper controlling return-stroke contact on a 50 mm travel.
Gripper Traverse
Traverses a gripper between two positions with straight guided travel, the retraction-side stopper providing tunable end-position damping for the return move.
Assembly Stage Positioning
Positions a workpiece at an assembly station with cross-roller precision, the rubber stopper on the retract end ensuring repeatable home position.
FAQ
What is the difference between AF and A adjusters on the HLSL series?
The A adjuster places adjustable rubber stoppers at both extension and retraction ends. The AF adjuster places the adjustable rubber stopper only on the retraction side; the extension end uses the standard bumper cushion. Similarly, AS places the stopper on the extension side only. Choose the variant that matches which stroke end needs tunable damping.
How do I confirm the allowable load and moment for the HLSL12X50SAF?
Allowable load, moment and table deflection are published as tables and curves in the AirTAC datasheet for the HLSL series at this bore and stroke. We confirm these values on request so you can verify the guide will handle your application's forces. Maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa and speed should be metered to stay within 50-500 mm/s.
