Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL8X30SA
The AirTAC Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL8X30SA 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 HLSL8X30SA
The HLSL8X30SA is a symmetrical cross-roller slide table cylinder: a double-acting dual-rod air cylinder with an integrated cross-roller guide, so the table travels straight under load with high rigidity and low deflection. The symmetrical body lets you mount the workpiece from either side, and the dual-rod design doubles the push compared with a single-rod cylinder of the same bore. A floating joint spares the rod from side torque, so a slightly misaligned fixture will not fight the guide. With an 8mm bore and 30mm stroke, this size suits light-to-moderate thrust tasks such as small-part positioning where stroke is short and straightness matters most.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with the magnet fitted as standard, so you can add CMSH, DMSH or EMSH reed switches in the magnetic-switch slots on the body for end-position sensing. Cushioning is by bumper, and the A adjuster code means adjustable rubber stoppers are fitted at both ends to soften table arrival. The exact thrust and dimensional figures for this model are shown in the on-page spec table; we are happy to confirm thrust, dimensions or load-moment data from the datasheet 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 size sets the thrust: an 8mm bore gives light thrust for small parts and light fixtures; step up to 12, 16, 20 or 25mm within the HLSL range when you need more push. Cross-roller guidance (HLS/HLSL) is the choice for highest precision and rigidity; choose HLQ/HLQL for anti-rust, dust-proof ball-bearing guidance, HLH for precision miniature roller-ball straightness, or HLF when reduced body height matters. The 30mm stroke sits within this bore's published stroke table. The A adjuster here gives adjustable rubber stoppers at both ends; B-type shock absorbers are also available on this bore, with one-side (AS/BS extension, AF/BF retraction) variants. Port thread is PT as standard, with G and NPT (G/T suffix) options. Load and moment sizing is published as tables and curves - ask us to confirm them for your application.
Applications
Pick-and-place
The precise cross-roller table positions a suction or gripper tool over small components, keeping the pick point on a straight, repeatable path across the 30mm stroke.
Small-parts transfer
Moves small machined or molded parts between a feeder and an assembly nest, where the cross-roller guide keeps the table from deflecting under an off-center workpiece.
Gripper traverse
Traverses a compact gripper across a station in automated cells; the floating joint absorbs fixture misalignment so the rods take no side torque.
FAQ
What does the A at the end of HLSL8X30SA mean?
It is the adjuster code: A means adjustable rubber stoppers are fitted at both ends to cushion the table at each end of stroke. Other options on this series are B (shock absorbers both ends, available on this 8mm bore) and one-side variants such as AS/AF and BS/BF. If no letter were present, the cylinder would be the basic version.
What pressure and speed can this cylinder run at?
The 8mm bore operates at 0.2-0.7 MPa (29-100 psi), with a maximum working pressure of 0.7 MPa and proof pressure of 1.2 MPa. Use filtered air to 40 um and keep speed within 50-500 mm/s, typically metered out on the exhaust side for stable table motion.
