Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL8X50SB
The AirTAC Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL8X50SB 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 HLSL8X50SB
The HLSL8X50SB 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 B suffix adds shock absorbers at both ends of the stroke to absorb the moving mass at higher cycle demands, over the standard bumper cushion.
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 B code fits shock absorbers at both ends, available on this bore (B-type is not offered on bore 6); A, AS and AF give adjustable rubber stoppers instead. Threads are PT as standard with G and NPT (T) options. Send us your load, moment and kinetic-energy figures and we check them against the published tables and curves.
Applications
Multi-nest indexing slide
The rigid cross-roller table steps a carrier between closely spaced nests over its 50 mm stroke; shock absorbers at both ends let the slide cycle briskly without a hard stop at either end.
Pick-and-place with fast return
A suction or gripper tool on the symmetrical table picks and places small parts, and the end-of-stroke shock absorbers tame the return so the tool arrives gently at the park position.
Small assembly press and locating stage
The straight-running dual-rod table positions a light locating or pressing tool squarely onto the workpiece; the cross-roller guide limits deflection so alignment is preserved.
FAQ
Why pick the SB shock-absorber version over the rubber-stopper versions?
The B option replaces the standard bumpers with shock absorbers at both ends, which is the choice when the moving mass or cycling rate calls for controlled deceleration in both directions. A, AS and AF instead give adjustable rubber stoppers on both ends, extension side or retraction side respectively. B-type adjusters are not available on bore 6, but this 8 mm model accepts them.
Is the magnet optional, and which switches fit this cylinder?
The magnet is fitted as standard on every HLSL model, so it is never an option to decline. The magnetic-switch slots on the body take the AirTAC CMSH, DMSH and EMSH reed or solid-state switches for end-position detection. Working pressure tops out at 0.7 MPa for this 8 mm bore, with speed between 50 and 500 mm/s.
