Airtac HLF Ultra-Slim Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLF12X20S
The AirTAC Airtac HLF Ultra-Slim Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLF12X20S is a genuine HLF slide-table cylinder, 12 mm bore: a double-acting dual-rod air cylinder integrated with a low-height cross-roller guide so the table travels straight with high rigidity and low deflection. It delivers about 45.2 N of push at 0.5 MPa. A floating joint spares the rod from side torque; the magnet is fitted as standard.

About the Airtac HLF Ultra-Slim Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLF12X20S
The AirTAC HLF12X20S is a double-acting dual-rod guided slide table cylinder with a 12 mm bore and a 20 mm stroke. The integrated cross-roller guide ensures the table moves in a straight line with minimal deflection under load, all within a low-height aluminum body that suits space-constrained installations. Two rods provide balanced thrust and the floating joint isolates the rods from side loads.
This genuine AirTAC part includes a standard magnet for position detection with CMSH, DMSH, or EMSH sensor switches fitted into the body slots. Contact us for verified thrust, dimensions, allowable load, and moment values from the official datasheet or on-page specification table.

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 delivers moderate thrust suitable for light to medium-duty guided motion. Select HLF when you need cross-roller accuracy but have limited vertical clearance. The 20 mm stroke falls within the bore 12 range from the datasheet. Ports use PT thread. We confirm load capacity, moment ratings, and deflection curves from published AirTAC data.
Applications
Gripper Traverse
Slides a gripper 20 mm horizontally to pick and place small parts between two fixtures in a compact assembly cell.
Stopper Positioning
Positions a stopper finger at a precise point along a mini-conveyor where the low-height body fits beneath the belt line.
Test Probe Index
Indexes a test probe into contact with a device under test using straight, repeatable cross-roller guided motion.
FAQ
How does the HLF12X20S differ from an HLS cross-roller table?
The HLF shares the same cross-roller guide principle as HLS but uses a low-height body design, reducing the overall vertical envelope. It has two port sets instead of the standard HLS configuration, making it better for tight installations.
Can you provide allowable load and moment data?
Yes. Allowable load, allowable moment, and table deflection are published as tables and curves in the AirTAC datasheet. We confirm these values for your specific mounting orientation on request rather than estimating.
