Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS12X20SBS
The AirTAC Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS12X20SBS 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 HLS12X20SBS
The HLS12X20SBS is a double-acting dual-rod slide-table cylinder combining an air cylinder with a cross-roller linear guide. The cross-roller guide provides high precision, rigidity, and low deflection for straight-line travel. The dual rod doubles thrust, and a floating joint spares the rod from side torque. With bore 12 and stroke 20 mm, this model delivers moderate push force for compact guided motion.
This genuine AirTAC part includes a standard magnet for position sensing via CMSH, DMSH, or EMSH sensor switches in the body slots. The BS adjuster places a shock absorber on the extension side for controlled end-stop deceleration. We confirm thrust, dimensions, and load/moment data 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 is ideal for applications requiring the highest precision and rigidity, while HLQ ball-bearing tables offer anti-rust and dust-proof benefits, HLH provides precision-assembly straightness, and HLF reduces body height. The BS adjuster equips the extension side with a shock absorber for softer deceleration at the extend end. 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
Component Insertion
Cross-roller precision guides component insertion with the shock absorber controlling deceleration at the extend end.
Gripper Traverse
Horizontal gripper movement benefits from rigid cross-roller guidance with extension-side shock absorption.
Assembly Stage
Precise guided travel positions workpieces at assembly stations with repeatable extend-end stopping.
FAQ
What does the BS adjuster code mean on the HLS12X20SBS?
BS indicates a shock absorber on the extension side only, giving controlled deceleration at the extend end of stroke. The retraction side uses a standard bumper.
Is the magnet standard on the HLS12X20SBS?
Yes, the S in the model code means a magnet is fitted as standard. CMSH, DMSH, and EMSH sensor switches can be mounted in the magnetic-switch slots on the body for position detection.
