Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL8X30SBS
The AirTAC Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL8X30SBS 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 HLSL8X30SBS
The HLSL8X30SBS is the extension-side shock absorber version of the symmetrical HLSL cross-roller slide table cylinder. In one body, an 8mm bore dual-rod air cylinder drives a table riding on a precision cross-roller guide, giving straight, low-deflection travel over a 30mm stroke with light to moderate thrust suited to compact automation. The dual rod doubles the thrust, and the floating joint spares the rods from side torque caused by small mounting misalignment. The BS code means a shock absorber cushions the extension end of travel.
This is a genuine AirTAC part; the magnet is standard equipment, and CMSH, DMSH or EMSH switches mount in the slots on the body for position sensing. It runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.2-0.7 MPa (29-100 psi) for the 8mm bore, at 50-500 mm/s. Exact thrust, dimensions and allowable load and moment figures for this model are in the on-page spec table and datasheet - we will confirm them for your application 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
For thrust selection, remember a bigger bore means more push: 8mm suits light to moderate loads, while 12-25mm bores in the same HLSL family deliver progressively higher force at the same pressure. HLSL is the precision choice - a cross-roller guide with the highest rigidity and lowest deflection in a symmetrical body - versus HLQ for anti-rust, dust-proof ball-bearing travel, HLH for the miniature roller-ball guide, or HLF where height is tight. Keep 30mm within the bore's published stroke table and specify the thread (blank is PT, G for G, T for NPT). This BS version cushions the extension side only; choose B for both ends or BF for the retraction side. For load, moment and kinetic energy sizing, contact us - these are published as tables and curves per bore.
Applications
Pick-and-place with soft approach
A mini gripper or vacuum cup extends onto the part, cushioned by the extension-side shock absorber before the pick, then retracts over the 30mm stroke; the cross-roller table keeps the approach square to the part.
Push-fit assembly stage
Pins, clips or labels are pressed home at the end of the extension stroke; the shock absorber absorbs the insertion impact while the dual-rod, low-deflection table keeps the tooling face flat against the work.
Small-parts eject slide
Mounted beside a conveyor, the slide extends to push a finished part off the belt. The extension-side absorber handles the repeated eject impact, and the floating joint tolerates bracket misalignment.
FAQ
Why choose the SBS version over B or BF for the HLSL8X30S?
The letter after the stroke tells you where cushioning is fitted. BS puts a shock absorber on the extension side only - the right choice when the heaviest impact happens as the table extends, such as a push-fit or eject operation. B cushions both ends and BF cushions only the retraction side. All three share the same 8mm bore, 30mm stroke and cross-roller symmetrical body; adjuster options apply only to the HLS/HLQ families and B-type adjusters are not offered on the 6mm bore.
How fast can I cycle the HLSL8X30SBS, and what limits the setup?
Set the speed between 50 and 500 mm/s, metering out the exhaust for stable table motion. Working pressure tops out at 0.7 MPa, with the 8mm bore operating at 0.2-0.7 MPa (29-100 psi). Because allowable load, moment and kinetic energy are published as tables and curves rather than a single number, confirm your loading against the datasheet or ask us - the on-page spec table also carries the exact thrust for this bore and stroke.
