Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL8X50SBF
The AirTAC Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL8X50SBF 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 HLSL8X50SBF
The HLSL8X50SBF is a symmetrical cross-roller slide table cylinder: an AirTAC dual-rod cylinder with an integrated cross-roller guide, so the table travels straight under load with high rigidity and low deflection. The symmetrical body gives you mounting faces on both sides, and the floating joint means the rods take no side torque from your tooling. With a bore of 8 mm and a 50 mm stroke, this size delivers light, well-controlled thrust suited to fine positioning and small-part handling, with the dual-rod layout doubling the pushing force compared to a single rod. The BF suffix adds shock absorbers on the retraction side only, so end-of-stroke deceleration is damped where your cycle returns the table.
This is a genuine AirTAC part and the magnet is standard - the body has magnetic-switch slots and accepts AirTAC CMSH, DMSH or EMSH sensor switches for position feedback. Medium is filtered air (40 um), proof pressure is 1.2 MPa (175 psi), temperature range is -20 to 70 C, and speed is 50-500 mm/s. Thrust values, dimensions and allowable load or moment figures for this exact model are shown in the on-page specification table; contact us and we will confirm them 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
At bore 8 you are in the light-thrust range of the HLSL series - if your application needs more push, step up to bore 12, 16, 20 or 25 within the same symmetrical cross-roller family. Choose HLSL when you want the highest precision and rigidity from a cross-roller guide; choose HLQ if anti-rust, dust-proof ball bearings suit the environment better, or HLH/HLF for miniature or low-height bodies. The 50 mm stroke sits within the published stroke table for bore 8.
The BF code means shock absorbers on the retraction side only; choose blank for basic bumpers, A for adjustable rubber stoppers both ends, B for shock absorbers both ends, or AS/BS for the extension side. Ports are M5x0.8 on this bore, and the thread code here specifies PT. For load, moment and cushion-energy sizing, use the published tables and curves or ask us to check them for your cycle.
Applications
Pick-and-place of small parts
The cross-roller guide keeps the table square over the 50 mm travel, so a vacuum or gripper end effector picks and places small components without lateral drift.
Retraction-damped part transfer
With BF shock absorbers on the retraction side, the table decelerates smoothly on the return leg of a small-parts transfer stroke, protecting the workpiece and the guide.
Gripper traverse between fixtures
The symmetrical body mounts from either side, letting you traverse a compact gripper between two assembly positions on the same slide.
FAQ
What does the BF suffix in HLSL8X50SBF mean?
BF specifies shock absorbers fitted on the retraction side only, while the extension side keeps the standard bumper. The adjuster codes are only offered on the HLS/HLQ families: blank for basic, A for adjustable rubber stoppers both ends, B for shock absorbers both ends, AS/BS for the extension side and AF/BF for the retraction side. B-type shock absorbers are available from bore 8 upward, which this model carries.
What air pressure can I run the HLSL8X50SBF at?
The bore 8 operating pressure range is 0.2-0.7 MPa (29-100 psi); 0.7 MPa (100 psi) is the maximum working pressure and 1.2 MPa (175 psi) is the proof pressure. Medium is air filtered to 40 um, speed range is 50-500 mm/s, and the temperature range is -20 to 70 C.
