Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS20X10SBS
The AirTAC Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS20X10SBS 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 HLS20X10SBS
The AirTAC HLS20X10SBS is a double-acting dual-rod slide-table cylinder that integrates an air cylinder with a cross-roller linear guide. The moving table travels in a precise straight line, the dual rod doubles the thrust, and a floating joint protects the rod from side torque. At bore 20 and stroke 10 mm, this model delivers higher thrust in a compact travel range, suited to short-stroke positioning where cross-roller rigidity keeps deflection to a minimum. The BS adjuster adds a shock absorber on the extension side to soften end-of-stroke impact.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with a standard magnet fitted for position sensing using CMSH, DMSH, or EMSH switches. We confirm the exact thrust, dimensions, and allowable load and moment values from the AirTAC datasheet or the on-page specification 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 20 when the application needs higher thrust than smaller bores provide; a bigger bore always means more push. The HLS cross-roller guide is the right pick when rigidity and precision matter more than cost - it carries the highest load capacity and lowest deflection among the HL sub-families. Stroke 10 mm sits within the bore-20 stroke table. The BS code selects a shock absorber on the extension side; for full shock absorption at both ends choose B, and for a basic bumper cushion select no adjuster code. Thread is PT as standard; request G or NPT if your fittings require it. We can help you size the allowable load and moment from the published tables and deflection curves.
Applications
Pick-and-Place Head
Short 10 mm stroke with cross-roller precision positions a vacuum pickup head repeatably for component placement on a small assembly fixture.
Gripper Traverse
The compact stroke and shock-absorber extension side make this model a stable gripper actuator for clamping and releasing parts in a tight transfer station.
Assembly Stage Stop
Cross-roller rigidity and the dual rod's doubled thrust push a workpiece stop or clamp into a precise datum position with minimal deflection under load.
FAQ
What does the BS adjuster code mean on this model?
BS selects a shock absorber on the extension side only, softening the impact at the forward end of stroke. For shock absorbers at both ends choose B; for a basic bumper cushion with no external adjuster select a model with no adjuster letter.
What is the maximum operating pressure for this cylinder?
The maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa. For bore 20 the operating range is 0.15 to 0.7 MPa (22 to 100 psi). Never exceed 0.7 MPa; proof pressure is 1.2 MPa for validation only.
