Airtac HLF Ultra-Slim Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLF8X20S
The AirTAC Airtac HLF Ultra-Slim Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLF8X20S is a genuine HLF slide-table cylinder, 8 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 20.1 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 HLF8X20S
The AirTAC HLF8X20S is a double-acting dual-rod slide-table cylinder with a bore of 8 mm and a 20 mm stroke. It pairs an air cylinder with a low-height cross-roller linear guide for precise straight travel in a compact body. The floating joint spares the rods from side loads, and dual rods double the thrust compared to a single-rod design.
This is a genuine AirTAC part fitted with a standard magnet. Sensor switches CMSH, DMSH, and EMSH mount in the body slots. We confirm thrust, dimensions, allowable load, and moment data from the AirTAC datasheet or 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
Select the HLF sub-family when cross-roller precision is needed in a low-profile installation. Bore 8 offers light thrust; move to a larger bore for more push force. The 20 mm stroke falls within the bore 8 range. Thread is PT standard, and the HLF provides two port groups but no adjuster option. We route load and moment sizing to the published tables and deflection curves.
Applications
Vacuum Nozzle Positioner
Positions a pick-up nozzle precisely with cross-roller straightness in a low-clearance SMT or micro-assembly cell.
Adjustable Stop Bracket
Acts as a precise 20 mm guided stop for a workpiece carrier in a compact fixture.
Short Shuttle Between Stations
Shuttles small parts between two stations with straight guided travel and low body profile.
FAQ
How does the HLF cross-roller guide compare to the HLQ ball-bearing guide?
The HLF uses an integrated cross-roller guide in a low-height body, prioritizing rigidity and compact profile. The HLQ uses ball bearings for anti-rust and dust-proof operation. The HLF offers two port groups; the HLQ offers adjuster options.
Can you confirm allowable load and moment for the HLF8X20S?
Yes. Allowable load, moment, and kinetic energy are published as tables and deflection curves in the AirTAC datasheet. We confirm these values for your specific mounting orientation on request. Maximum pressure is 0.7 MPa.
