Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS20X20S
The AirTAC Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS20X20S 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 HLS20X20S
The AirTAC HLS20X20S is a double-acting dual-rod slide-table cylinder with an integrated cross-roller linear guide. The cross-roller guide delivers high precision, rigidity, and low deflection, while the dual rod doubles thrust and the floating joint protects the rod from side torque. With a 20 mm bore and 20 mm stroke, this model provides moderate thrust in a compact footprint for precise guided travel.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with a standard magnet fitted for position sensing using CMSH, DMSH, or EMSH switches. We confirm exact thrust values, dimensions, and allowable load/moment 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
The 20 mm bore offers higher thrust than smaller bores in the HLS cross-roller family, making it suitable where more push force is needed alongside precision guidance. Cross-roller guides (HLS) are chosen for the highest rigidity and load capacity versus the ball-bearing HLQ, the low-height HLF, or the miniature roller-ball HLH. The 20 mm stroke falls within the bore 20 stroke range. This model uses basic bumper cushioning and has PT threaded ports. We can confirm allowable load and moment values from the published tables and deflection curves.
Applications
Pick-and-Place Head
Mounts a small gripper for precise part pick-up and placement where the cross-roller guide keeps the tool straight over repeated cycles.
Small-Parts Transfer
Transfers small components between stations with low deflection and consistent stroke length at 20 mm travel.
Assembly Stage Stopper
Positions a workpiece at an assembly station where the dual-rod design holds the stop face square under load.
FAQ
What is the difference between the HLS cross-roller guide and the HLQ ball-bearing guide?
The HLS uses a cross-roller guide for the highest rigidity, precision, and load capacity in the family, while the HLQ uses ball bearings with anti-rust and dust-proof properties. Choose HLS when maximum deflection resistance is the priority.
What is the maximum operating pressure for this cylinder?
The maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa (100 psi). For bore 20 the operating range is 0.15-0.7 MPa (22-100 psi). Always confirm allowable load and moment values from the published datasheet tables before sizing.
