Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS12X20SBF
The AirTAC Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS12X20SBF is a genuine HLS slide-table cylinder, 12 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 85 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 HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS12X20SBF
The HLS12X20SBF is a double-acting dual-rod slide-table cylinder that integrates an air cylinder with a cross-roller linear guide. The cross-roller guide delivers high precision, rigidity, and low deflection for straight-line travel. The dual rod doubles thrust, and a floating joint protects the rod from side torque. With bore 12 and stroke 20 mm, this model provides moderate push force for compact guided motion.
This genuine AirTAC part includes a standard magnet for position sensing using CMSH, DMSH, or EMSH sensor switches mounted in the body slots. The BF adjuster places a shock absorber on the retraction side for controlled end-stop deceleration. We confirm thrust values, dimensions, and load/moment ratings 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
Choose bore 12 when you need moderate thrust in a compact cross-roller guided slide; a larger bore gives more push force. The HLS cross-roller guide suits applications demanding the highest precision and rigidity, while HLQ ball-bearing tables offer anti-rust and dust-proof benefits, HLH provides precision-assembly straightness with three port groups, and HLF reduces body height. The BF adjuster equips the retraction side with a shock absorber for softer end-of-stroke deceleration. Select the stroke from the bore 12 range in the datasheet, and confirm allowable load, moment, and kinetic energy from the published tables and deflection curves with us.
Applications
Pick-and-Place Head
Cross-roller precision guides small component placement with minimal deflection at the retract end.
Small-Parts Transfer
Moves parts between stations with controlled retraction-side deceleration from the shock absorber.
Assembly Stage Stop
Shock absorber on the retraction side provides soft, repeatable end-stop positioning for assembly work.
FAQ
What does the BF adjuster code mean on the HLS12X20SBF?
BF indicates a shock absorber on the retraction side only, providing softer deceleration at the retract end of stroke. The extension side uses a standard bumper.
What is the maximum operating pressure for this bore 12 slide table?
The maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa (100 psi). The operating pressure range for bore 12 is 0.15 to 0.7 MPa (22 to 100 psi). Do not exceed 0.7 MPa.
