Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL6X40SAS
The AirTAC Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL6X40SAS 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 HLSL6X40SAS
The HLSL6X40SAS is a symmetrical cross-roller slide table cylinder: an AirTAC double-acting dual-rod unit whose integrated cross-roller guide holds the table on a straight, low-deflection path over the 40 mm stroke. Both rods act in parallel, so the thrust is double that of a single rod while staying proportionate to the compact bore 6 size, and the floating joint built into the table keeps side torque off the rods. The symmetrical body balances mounting and porting around the table centre.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with the position-detection magnet fitted as standard. Magnetic-switch slots are machined into the body and accept CMSH, DMSH or EMSH sensor switches. Supply air filtered to 40 um within the 50-500 mm/s speed range. We confirm exact thrust, dimensions and load-moment ratings for this model from the 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
Bore 6 gives the lightest thrust in the cross-roller HLSL range; select bore 8, 12, 16, 20 or 25 when you need progressively more push. The 40 mm stroke sits within the bore 6 stroke table, and other listed strokes can be ordered in the same series. The AS suffix here codes adjustable rubber stoppers on the extension side only; choose AF for the retraction side or no suffix for basic bumpers, noting that B-type shock absorbers are not available at bore 6. Air ports are M5x0.8 and this model carries PT threads, with G and NPT options. Route your payload and moment figures to us and we will verify them against the published load tables and deflection curves.
Applications
Assembly stage
Positions a small component for insertion or clipping; the extension-side adjustable stoppers give a firm, repeatable working end on the approach stroke.
Pick-and-place
Transports a light gripper or vacuum head across a 40 mm move; the cross-roller guide resists off-centre loads so picked parts stay square.
Light stopper station
Serves as a compact stopper or indexing fence on a small conveyor, with the cross-roller guide holding the fence square under repeated contact.
FAQ
Is the magnet in HLSL6X40SAS an optional extra?
No. Every cylinder in the HL series is magnet-fitted as standard, so position sensing needs no special build. The body has magnetic-switch slots and takes AirTAC CMSH, DMSH and EMSH sensor switches for end-of-stroke detection.
How should I control the speed of this slide table?
Use meter-out flow control and keep the table within the 50-500 mm/s speed range on air filtered to 40 um. Working pressure must not exceed 0.7 MPa (100 psi); bore 6 starts at 0.2 MPa. For permissible payloads and moments, ask us for the datasheet tables and deflection curves.
