Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS20X20SAF
The AirTAC Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS20X20SAF 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 HLS20X20SAF
The AirTAC HLS20X20SAF is a double-acting dual-rod slide-table cylinder with an integrated cross-roller linear guide. The cross-roller construction delivers high precision, rigidity, and minimal deflection. The dual rod doubles thrust and the floating joint prevents side torque on the rod. This 20 mm bore, 20 mm stroke model features an adjustable rubber stopper on the retraction side for controlled positioning at the end of the return stroke.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with a standard magnet for position sensing using 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 suitable for applications needing more push force with precision guidance. The retraction-side rubber stopper (adjuster code AF) allows fine-tuning the return end position while the extension end uses standard bumper cushioning. The HLS cross-roller guide is selected for maximum rigidity and load capacity versus HLQ, HLF, or HLH alternatives. This model uses PT threads. We confirm allowable load and moment values from the published tables and deflection curves.
Applications
Vertical Return Stop
Uses the retraction-side rubber stopper to set a precise return position for a vertical pick head, leaving extension free.
Pick-and-Place Head
Carries a gripper between stations where cross-roller guidance keeps the tool straight and the retraction stopper sets the home position.
Small-Parts Transfer
Transfers small parts with a controlled return position and standard bumper cushioning on the extension end.
FAQ
What does the AF adjuster code mean on the HLS20X20SAF?
The AF code means an adjustable rubber stopper is fitted on the retraction side only. The extension end uses the standard bumper cushion. This lets you fine-tune the return position without affecting the extension end.
What speed range and pressure limits apply to this cylinder?
Operating speed is 50-500 mm/s using meter-out flow control. For bore 20 the pressure range is 0.15-0.7 MPa (22-100 psi), with a maximum working pressure of 0.7 MPa. We confirm allowable load and moment from the datasheet on request.
