Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS16X20SBS
The AirTAC Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS16X20SBS is a genuine HLS slide-table cylinder, 16 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 151 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 HLS16X20SBS
The HLS16X20SBS AirTAC slide table cylinder integrates a cross-roller linear guide with a dual-rod double-acting air cylinder to move a workpiece in a precise straight line. At bore 16 and stroke 20, the dual rods provide moderate thrust while a floating joint protects the rods from side torque. The BS adjuster equips the extension side with shock absorbers for smooth end-of-stroke deceleration.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with a standard magnet for position sensing; compatible sensor switches include CMSH, DMSH, and EMSH series. We confirm exact thrust, dimensions, and allowable load-moment from the manufacturer datasheet or on-page spec table upon 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 16 when your application needs moderate thrust; a larger bore increases push and pull force. The HLS cross-roller guide provides the highest precision and rigidity among the HL sub-families, making it ideal where low deflection is critical. Stroke 20 falls within the standard range for this bore size.
The BS adjuster code specifies shock absorbers on the extension side, which is available on bore 16 and above. Ports are 1/8" with standard PT thread. For allowable load and moment sizing, we route you to the published tables and curves or confirm the figures on request.
Applications
Pick and Place
Accurate cross-roller guidance for moving components between assembly stations.
Parts Transfer
Transfers small products across a conveyor with minimal deflection.
Gripper Traverse
Provides stable horizontal travel for mounting pneumatic grippers.
FAQ
What does the BS adjuster mean on this HLS cylinder?
The BS code indicates that the cylinder is equipped with shock absorbers on the extension side for cushioning, which is available on bore 16 and larger.
What is the maximum operating pressure for the HLS16 cylinder?
The maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa. The operating pressure range for a bore 16 cylinder is 0.15 to 0.7 MPa (22 to 100 psi).
