The AirTAC Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL6X30SAF 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 HLSL6X30SAF is a symmetrical cross-roller slide table cylinder, bore 6, stroke 30 mm, with an adjustable rubber stopper on the retraction side only. The integrated cross-roller guide holds the table straight with low deflection, the dual-rod design doubles the light thrust of this small bore, and the floating joint protects the rods from side torque. The single-side stopper suits cycles where only the return stroke needs cushioning, such as when a fixture or workpiece stops the forward motion externally.
A genuine AirTAC part: double-acting, magnet fitted as standard, with body slots for CMSH, DMSH and EMSH magnetic switches. It runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.2-0.7 MPa (29-100 psi) and 50-500 mm/s, from -20 to 70 C, with 1.2 MPa (175 psi) proof pressure. Exact thrust, dimensions and allowable load/moment data for this model are in the on-page spec table and datasheet; we will confirm any figure 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 delivers light thrust; if the application needs more push, step up through bores 8, 12, 16, 20 and 25. Within the code, AF means the adjustable rubber stopper sits on the retraction side only - choose A for both ends, AS for the extension side only, or the plain HLSL6X30S for bumper-only cushioning. Shock absorbers (B types) are not available at bore 6. Thread is PT, with G and NPT (T) alternatives.
HLSL is the symmetrical cross-roller slide table, the highest-precision guide type in the AirTAC slide-table range; the HLQL ball-bearing version is the pick when anti-rust and dust-proof behaviour outrank rigidity. Stroke 30 mm is inside the published bore-6 table. Load and moment ratings are published as tables and curves rather than single numbers - send us your payload for sizing help.
Advance the table to present or clamp a small part while an external hard stop sets the forward position; the retraction-side stopper cushions every return.
Gently push light parts off a nest with the bore-6 table, with the rubber stopper tuned so the return never jars the tooling.
Position small samples on a lab or QC rig with straight, low-deflection travel, and damp only the return stroke where it matters.
Both carry an adjustable rubber stopper on one end only. AF puts it on the retraction side, AS on the extension side. If you need cushioning in both directions, choose the A version instead; shock absorbers are not offered at bore 6.
Rated speed is 50-500 mm/s; meter the exhaust to stay smooth and controlled, especially near the stopper. Operating pressure for bore 6 is 0.2-0.7 MPa (29-100 psi), with 0.7 MPa the absolute maximum working pressure and 1.2 MPa (175 psi) proof pressure.
