Airtac HLF Ultra-Slim Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLF20X40S
The AirTAC Airtac HLF Ultra-Slim Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLF20X40S is a genuine HLF slide-table cylinder, 20 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 125.6 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 HLF20X40S
The AirTAC HLF20X40S is a double-acting dual-rod slide-table cylinder combining a cross-roller linear guide with a low-height body for precise straight travel in a compact vertical envelope. The 20 mm bore provides higher thrust for a bigger bore, and the dual rods double that thrust while a floating joint prevents side torque from reaching the rods. The 40 mm stroke gives extra travel range over shorter strokes while keeping the same low-profile advantage.
This is a genuine AirTAC part fitted with a standard magnet for position detection using CMSH, DMSH or EMSH series switches. Thrust, dimensions and allowable 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 20 mm bore is selected for more push than smaller bores; refer to the on-page thrust table for the exact value at your supply pressure. The HLF low-height cross-roller guide is ideal when you need cross-roller precision and rigidity but have limited vertical mounting space, with two port sets for flexible routing. Verify the 40 mm stroke falls within the bore 20 stroke range in the datasheet. This model has PT threads; G and NPT variants exist as separate codes.
Applications
Gripper Traverse
Move a gripper assembly 40 mm between pick and release positions on a low-height cross-roller table where vertical clearance under an overhead gantry is tight.
Small-Parts Transfer
Push small components 40 mm from one fixture to the next on an assembly line using the dual-rod thrust and cross-roller guide for repeatable positioning.
Stopper Mechanism
Deploy the guided table as a programmable 40 mm stopper at an inspection station, where the low-height body fits between belt rollers or narrow frame rails.
FAQ
Can I add a shock absorber or adjustable stopper to the HLF20X40S?
No. The HLF sub-family does not carry an adjuster code. Cushioning is via an integral bumper. If you need adjustable rubber stoppers or shock absorbers at one or both ends, choose an HLS or HLQ model instead, which support A, B, AS, BS, AF and BF adjuster options.
How do I confirm the allowable load and moment for my application?
Allowable load, moment and deflection are published as tables and curves in the AirTAC datasheet. We confirm these values for the HLF20X40S from the datasheet or on-page spec table on request so you can verify the guide handles your workpiece weight and offset.
