Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL6X40SAF
The AirTAC Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL6X40SAF 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.

About the Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL6X40SAF
The HLSL6X40SAF is a symmetrical cross-roller slide table: an AirTAC double-acting dual-rod cylinder with an integrated cross-roller linear guide that keeps the table travelling straight through its 40 mm stroke. The two rods share the load and double the thrust of a single rod, giving light, compact push well matched to bore 6 duty, while the built-in floating joint means the rods take no side torque from the connected workpiece. The symmetrical body suits centred or mirror-mounted fixtures.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. A position-detection magnet is fitted as standard, the body carries magnetic-switch slots, and CMSH, DMSH or EMSH sensor switches mount directly. Run it on air filtered to 40 um at 50-500 mm/s. Exact thrust, dimensions and load-moment ratings for this bore and stroke are confirmed 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 6 for the lightest push in the cross-roller range; bore 8, 12, 16, 20 and 25 give progressively higher thrust. The symmetrical HLSL layout balances the body around the table centre, which helps on centred or mirrored mountings. The 40 mm stroke here comes from the bore 6 stroke table, and other listed strokes are orderable in the same series. The AF suffix codes adjustable rubber stoppers on the retraction side only; AS covers the extension side and no suffix gives basic bumpers, while B-type shock absorbers are not offered at bore 6. Ports are M5x0.8 and this model has PT threads, with G and NPT as alternatives. Send us your payload and moment figures and we will size them against the published load tables and deflection curves.
Applications
Pick-and-place slide
A bore 6 symmetrical cross-roller table carries a small suction cup or gripper head over the 40 mm stroke, the integrated guide resisting side loads so the part stays aligned at drop-off.
Small-parts transfer
Moves miniature components between feeder and fixture; the cross-roller guide keeps deflection low so small parts land true on every cycle.
Gripper traverse
Shunts a compact gripper across a 40 mm station pitch; the floating joint spares the dual rods from side torque when the gripper jaws sit slightly off centre.
FAQ
What does the AF code in HLSL6X40SAF mean?
It decodes the cushioning adjuster: AF means adjustable rubber stoppers fitted on the retraction side only. AS covers the extension side, no suffix means basic bumpers, and B-type shock absorbers, though available in the HLSL series, are not offered on bore 6. Thread codes are blank for PT, G for G and T for NPT.
What air supply does the HLSL6X40SAF need?
Filter the air to 40 um and keep working pressure at or below 0.7 MPa (100 psi); bore 6 operates from 0.2 MPa. Proof pressure is 1.2 MPa (175 psi), speed range 50-500 mm/s and temperature -20 to 70 C. Contact us to confirm load and moment limits from the datasheet tables before finalising your application.
