Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL8X50SAS
The AirTAC Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL8X50SAS 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 HLSL8X50SAS
The HLSL8X50SAS is a symmetrical AirTAC HLSL slide table cylinder: an 8 mm bore, 50 mm stroke double-acting dual-rod cylinder with an integrated cross-roller guide that keeps the table travelling straight under load with low deflection. The dual-rod design doubles the available push for the bore size, and the built-in floating joint means the rod is not exposed to side torque from the tooling. The symmetrical body gives you mounting and porting options on more than one face, which helps when the envelope around the slide is tight. The AS suffix adds an adjustable rubber stopper on the extension side so the working stop is cushioned where the tool does its job.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with a position-detecting magnet fitted as standard, so the magnetic-switch slots on the body accept CMSH, DMSH or EMSH sensor switches. Media is filtered air, proof pressure is 1.2 MPa (175 psi), and the working range for this 8 mm bore is 0.2 to 0.7 MPa (29-100 psi) at 50-500 mm/s and -20 to 70 C. We confirm exact thrust, dimensions and load/moment ratings from the datasheet or the 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
An 8 mm bore in the HLSL cross-roller series suits light to moderate payloads where precise, straight guided travel matters more than raw force; stepping up to 12, 16, 20 or 25 mm gives noticeably more push at the same pressure. The 50 mm stroke sits within the published stroke table for this bore. Choose HLSL when you want the highest rigidity and precision of the range; HLQ is the ball-bearing alternative for anti-rust, dust-proof duty, HLH is the miniature roller-ball guide for best straightness, and HLF is the low-height cross-roller body. The AS code fits an adjustable rubber stopper on the extension side only, while AF covers the retraction side, A both ends, and B adds shock absorbers (not available on bore 6). Threads are PT as standard with G and NPT (T) options. Send us your load and moment figures and we size them against the published tables and deflection curves.
Applications
Assembly stage feeding
The cross-roller table carries a small feed head over its 50 mm stroke into an assembly position; the extension-side rubber stopper cushions the working stroke where parts are presented.
Small-parts transfer between conveyors
Mount a blade or tray on the symmetrical table to shuttle parts across a gap between conveyor sections; the rigid cross-roller guide keeps the transfer path repeatable.
Gripper traverse on a compact station
A small gripper rides the straight-moving table to reposition parts between fixtures, with the dual-rod table resisting the torque a single-rod cylinder would pass into the tooling.
FAQ
How do I choose between the AS, AF, A and B versions of this 8 mm slide table?
AS fits the adjustable rubber stopper on the extension (working) side, AF on the retraction side, A on both ends, and B replaces the stoppers with shock absorbers at both ends. Pick based on which end of the 50 mm stroke needs the controlled stop; all versions carry the magnet as standard for CMSH, DMSH or EMSH switches.
Can I run this cylinder faster than 500 mm/s or above 0.7 MPa?
No. The rated speed band is 50-500 mm/s, usually set with meter-out flow controls, and the maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa (operating range 0.2-0.7 MPa for this 8 mm bore, proof pressure 1.2 MPa). For allowable loads and moments on the table, always use the published datasheet tables and deflection curves.
