The AirTAC Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL6X10SAF is a genuine HLS slide-table cylinder, 6 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 21 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.
The HLSL6X10SAF is a symmetrical cross-roller slide table cylinder: an air cylinder and a precision cross-roller linear guide built into one body, so the table travels straight with low deflection even on short, light-duty moves. The dual-rod design doubles the available thrust for this small bore, and the supplied floating joint keeps side torque off the rods, so the guide, not the rod, carries the load. With a 10 mm stroke it suits compact indexing, light positioning and sensor-carrying slides where mounting space is mirrored on both sides of the table.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The magnet is standard, so AirTAC CMSH, DMSH or EMSH switches can be read from the magnetic-switch slots on the body. It runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.2-0.7 MPa (29-100 psi), withstands a 1.2 MPa (175 psi) proof pressure, and covers -20 to 70 C at 50-500 mm/s. The AF code adds an adjustable rubber stopper on the retraction side. Exact thrust, dimensions and load-moment data are confirmed from the datasheet or the 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.
Bore 6 is the lightest-thrust size in the HLSL cross-roller range; if the move needs more push, step up to bore 8, 12, 16, 20 or 25 within the same cross-roller family. Choose HLSL when rigidity and low deflection matter more than anti-rust (HLQ), when you want a true cross-roller table rather than the miniature roller-ball HLH, and when full-height mounting is acceptable rather than the low-profile HLF. The AF code here means an adjustable rubber stopper on the retraction side; AS would be the extension side, blank is basic, and shock absorbers (B types) start at bore 8. PT thread is fitted, with G and NPT options. Send us the load and moment and we will size them against the published tables and curves.
Carries a mini gripper or vacuum cup over a short 10 mm pitch on light electronic components, with the cross-roller guide keeping the table square to the part.
Slides a small gripper sideways between two nest positions where a plain cylinder would twist; the floating joint and dual rods keep the travel straight.
Acts as a retractable stopper or ejector on low-load indexing fixtures, with the retraction-side rubber stopper cushioning each return stroke.
On HLS and HLSL models the letters after the S are the cushion option: blank is basic, A is an adjustable rubber stopper on both ends, AS is the extension side and AF is the retraction side. Shock absorbers (B/BS/BF) are offered from bore 8 up. So this model has an adjustable rubber stopper on the retraction side, PT thread, and the magnet is standard, not an extra.
Use air filtered to 40 um at 0.2-0.7 MPa (29-100 psi). The maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa and proof pressure is 1.2 MPa (175 psi). Set the speed between 50 and 500 mm/s, usually metered out on the exhaust side. Allowable load and moment for your fixture are confirmed from the published tables and curves before you mount a load.
