Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS20X20SA
The AirTAC Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS20X20SA 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 HLS20X20SA
The AirTAC HLS20X20SA is a double-acting dual-rod slide-table cylinder with an integrated cross-roller linear guide. The cross-roller guide provides high precision and rigidity with low deflection. The dual rod doubles thrust and a floating joint protects the rod from side torque. This 20 mm bore, 20 mm stroke model includes adjustable rubber stoppers on both ends for controlled end-of-stroke positioning.
This is a genuine AirTAC part fitted with a standard magnet for position sensing with CMSH, DMSH, or EMSH switches. We confirm thrust, 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 provides higher thrust than smaller HLS bores while maintaining cross-roller precision. The adjustable rubber stoppers on both ends (adjuster code A) let you fine-tune end positions without adding a shock absorber. Choose HLS for maximum rigidity and load capacity over the HLQ ball-bearing, HLF low-height, or HLH miniature roller-ball alternatives. This model has PT threads and uses bumper cushioning. We confirm allowable load and moment from published tables and deflection curves.
Applications
Gripper Traverse
Moves a gripper horizontally with adjustable rubber stoppers on both ends for fine end-position control on each cycle.
Pick-and-Place Head
Carries a small part between two fixed positions where the cross-roller guide ensures repeatable straight travel.
Assembly Stage
Positions a workpiece at an assembly station with both-end stoppers for controlled, repeatable end positions.
FAQ
What does the A adjuster code mean on the HLS20X20SA?
The A code means adjustable rubber stoppers are fitted on both ends, letting you fine-tune the end-of-stroke position on both extension and retraction. B (shock absorber) is also available on bore 20 but not on bore 6.
Is the magnet optional on this model?
No, the magnet is standard on every HLS slide-table model. Position sensing uses CMSH, DMSH, or EMSH switches in the magnetic-switch slots on the body. The S in the code confirms the magnet is fitted.
