Airtac B52-HLS Non-Copper Precision Slide Cylinder B52-HLS12X20SAS
The AirTAC Airtac B52-HLS Non-Copper Precision Slide Cylinder B52-HLS12X20SAS is a genuine HLS slide-table cylinder: a double-acting dual-rod air cylinder integrated with a cross-roller guide so the table travels straight with high rigidity and low deflection. A floating joint spares the rod from side torque; the magnet is fitted as standard.

About the Airtac B52-HLS Non-Copper Precision Slide Cylinder B52-HLS12X20SAS
The AirTAC HLS12X20SAS is a double-acting dual-rod slide-table cylinder combining an air cylinder with a cross-roller linear guide. The cross-roller construction delivers high precision and rigidity, keeping the table on a straight path with low deflection, while the dual rod doubles thrust and the floating joint isolates the rod from side torque. With a 12 mm bore and 20 mm stroke this model provides moderate guided thrust for compact positioning work. An adjustable rubber stopper is fitted on the extension side so you can tune the extend-stroke cushioning.
This is a genuine AirTAC component fitted with a standard magnet for position detection. CMSH, DMSH, and EMSH series sensor switches install in the body's magnetic-switch slots. Exact thrust, dimensional data, and load-moment figures are confirmed from the AirTAC datasheet or on-page spec 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
The 12 mm bore suits compact applications needing moderate thrust; choose 16 or 20 mm if more push force is required. The HLS cross-roller guide is the right pick when rigidity and precision take priority - contrast with HLQ for ball-bearing anti-rust dust-proof service, HLH for miniature roller-ball straightness with three port groups, or HLF for a lower body profile. Keep the 20 mm stroke within the bore 12 range from the datasheet. This model carries the AS adjuster (adjustable rubber stopper on the extension side); select AF for the retraction side, A for both ends, or B for shock absorbers where impact is greater. Standard PT thread ports are 1/8". For allowable load, moment, and kinetic energy, we reference the published tables and deflection curves - contact us to verify sizing.
Applications
Gripper Traverse
Extends a gripper 20 mm to pick a part from a fixture, using the extension-side rubber stopper to set a repeatable extend position with cross-roller precision.
Small-Parts Transfer
Moves lightweight workpieces between stations on a guided dual-rod table where the cross-roller guide keeps deflection low under moderate load.
Assembly Stage Positioner
Positions a part at an assembly station where the adjustable extension-side stopper and standard bumper together control end-of-stroke contact.
FAQ
What does the AS adjuster code mean on this HLS12 model?
AS indicates an adjustable rubber stopper fitted on the extension side only. The standard bumper remains for the retraction end. Choose AF for retraction-side only, A for both ends, or B for shock absorbers on both ends when impact energy is higher. B-type shock absorbers are available on bore 12 and larger.
Is the magnet optional on the HLS12X20SAS?
No. The S in the model code denotes a magnet-fitted unit, and the entire HLS line ships magnet-fitted as standard. The magnet works with CMSH, DMSH, and EMSH series sensor switches in the body slots for position detection.
