Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL8X10SAF
The AirTAC Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL8X10SAF is a genuine HLS slide-table cylinder, 8 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 38 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 HLSL8X10SAF
The HLSL8X10SAF is the symmetrical cross-roller slide table with an AF adjuster: an AirTAC air cylinder and a precision linear guide in one body, with an adjustable rubber stopper fitted on the retraction side only, cushioning and tuning the stroke end where the table returns. Two opposing pistons drive the table, so the push is effectively doubled relative to a single-rod cylinder of the same bore, and the integrated floating joint keeps side torque from the workpiece off the rod connection. Bore 8 with a 10 mm stroke suits compact stations needing repeatable straight-line motion, and the cross-roller guide delivers high precision and rigidity with low deflection.
This is a genuine AirTAC part, listed and orderable from us. A position-detecting magnet is fitted as standard, with magnetic-switch slots on the body that accept CMSH, DMSH and EMSH sensor switches. The working medium is air filtered to 40 um; proof pressure is 1.2 MPa (175 psi), temperature range is -20 to 70 C, speed range is 50-500 mm/s, and the maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa. Exact thrust, dimensions and allowable load-moment values for this model appear in the on-page spec table and datasheet, and we will confirm them 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 8 gives light thrust; choose bore 12, 16, 20 or 25 when more push is needed at the same pressure. HLSL is the cross-roller choice in a symmetrical body; HLQ suits anti-rust, dust-proof ball-bearing duty, HLH gives miniature roller-ball straightness, and HLF saves installation height. The 10 mm stroke is within the published bore 8 stroke table. The AF code means an adjustable rubber stopper on the retraction side; A (both ends) and AS (extension side) rubber stoppers, or shock absorbers B, BS and BF, are also orderable on HLSL at bore 8. Port threads are PT (blank), G or NPT (T). Load and moment sizing is confirmed from the published datasheet tables and curves, so send us your application and we will check it with you.
Applications
Pick-and-place
Short-travel transfer of a small part with a suction cup or gripper; the retraction-side rubber stopper damps the return stroke between cycles.
Small-parts transfer
Feeds tiny components one station onward; the cross-roller guide holds the table straight so the part arrives square to the nest.
Repeat-cycle positioning
Cyclic extend-and-return in a test or assembly fixture, where a cushioned retraction end protects the table and fixture from impact over repeated cycles.
FAQ
How is HLSL8X10SAF different from HLSL8X10SA?
Only the adjuster differs. The AF code means an adjustable rubber stopper is fitted on the retraction side of the stroke only, while plain A gives rubber stoppers on both ends; AS covers the extension side. All three are HLSL cross-roller slide tables with the same bore, stroke, magnet and port options.
What speed control should I use on this slide table?
Use a meter-out speed control circuit and stay within the 50-500 mm/s speed range. Keep the working pressure at or below the 0.7 MPa maximum (bore 8 range is 0.2-0.7 MPa), and we will confirm allowable load and moment for your cycle from the datasheet tables and curves.
