Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL8X40SA
The AirTAC Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL8X40SA 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 HLSL8X40SA
The HLSL8X40SA is a symmetrical cross-roller slide table cylinder: a genuine dual-rod, double-acting AirTAC air cylinder with an integrated linear cross-roller guide for straight, rigid, low-deflection table travel. The 8 mm bore and 40 mm stroke cover compact, light-duty positioning, the dual rods double the thrust of a single-rod cylinder of the same bore, and the floating joint keeps side torque off the rods. The A in the code adds adjustable rubber stoppers at both ends, so you can fine-tune end-of-stroke position from either direction.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with the position magnet fitted as standard and magnetic-switch slots on the body for CMSH, DMSH and EMSH switches. It runs on air filtered to 40 um, proof pressure 1.2 MPa (175 psi), temperature -20 to 70 C and speed 50-500 mm/s. The exact thrust, dimensions and load/moment ratings for this bore and stroke are in the on-page spec table and datasheet - we 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 for small payloads; a bigger bore in the same family gives more push if the application demands it. Choose HLSL for cross-roller precision and rigidity, HLQ for anti-rust, dust-proof ball bearings, HLH for miniature straightness, or HLF where height is limited. Stroke 40 mm is inside this bore's published table, the A adjuster suits applications needing tuned end positions at both ends, and the thread here is PT. Send us your load and moment figures and we size them from the published tables and deflection curves.
Applications
Pick-and-place
Handle small parts with the table moving dead straight on the cross-roller guide, protected by adjustable rubber stoppers at both ends.
Assembly stage
Index small components into an assembly position where repeatable, low-deflection guided travel matters.
End-stop positioning
Use the adjustable rubber stoppers to trim the stroke end positions precisely in both travel directions for repeat part placement.
FAQ
What does the A in HLSL8X40SA change compared with the basic version?
It adds adjustable rubber stoppers at both ends of the stroke, letting you set the exact table position at each end. The basic HLSL8X40S has no adjuster; shock-absorber versions use B-type codes instead.
How do I confirm the allowable load and moment for this slide table?
Load, moment and deflection ratings are published as tables and curves in the datasheet, not as single numbers. Tell us your payload and mounting and we confirm the ratings from the on-page table or datasheet.
