Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS20X10SA
The AirTAC Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS20X10SA is a genuine HLS slide-table cylinder, 20 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 236 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 HLS20X10SA
The AirTAC HLS20X10SA is a double-acting dual-rod slide-table cylinder combining an air cylinder with a cross-roller linear guide for precise straight-line travel with minimal deflection. The 20mm bore and 10mm stroke provide moderate thrust in a compact footprint, while the dual rod doubles the output force. A floating joint protects the rod from side torque, and adjustable rubber stoppers on both ends let you fine-tune the end-of-stroke position.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with a standard sintered NdFeB magnet for position sensing. Compatible sensor switches include CMSH, DMSH, and EMSH series, which mount into the magnetic-switch slots on the body. We confirm exact thrust, dimensions, and allowable load-moment values from the 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
A 20mm bore suits applications needing moderate thrust and high rigidity in a compact size; selecting a larger bore increases push force but enlarges the body. The HLS cross-roller guide is chosen when maximum precision, rigidity, and side-load capacity are required, as crossed rollers resist deflection better than ball bearings. The A adjuster adds adjustable rubber stoppers at both ends, giving you field-tunable end positioning without shock absorbers. Thread is standard PT; verify that the 10mm stroke falls within the bore's published stroke table and meets your travel requirement.
Applications
Tuned Pick-and-Place
Adjustable rubber stoppers let operators fine-tune the end position of a pick head on a small-parts line without changing the stroke setting.
Assembly Index Stage
Cross-roller precision and dual-rod thrust position a workpiece carrier accurately between two assembly stations in a compact cell.
Lateral Gripper Traverse
Short 10mm stroke with rubber-stopper tuning moves a gripper precisely between pick and place positions with repeatable end stops.
FAQ
What does the A adjuster code mean on the HLS20X10SA?
The A code specifies adjustable rubber stoppers at both ends of the stroke. This lets you fine-tune the end-of-travel position in the field without using shock absorbers. Other adjuster options include B for shock absorbers both ends, AS or BS for the extension side only, and AF or BF for the retraction side only. B-type shock absorbers are not available on bore 6.
Is the magnet optional on this model?
No, the magnet is standard on every HLS model. The S in the code confirms the sintered NdFeB magnet is fitted for position sensing. Compatible switches are the CMSH, DMSH, and EMSH series, which install into the magnetic-switch slots on the cylinder body.
