Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS20X20SB
The AirTAC Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS20X20SB 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 HLS20X20SB
The AirTAC HLS20X20SB is a double-acting dual-rod slide-table cylinder integrating an air cylinder with a cross-roller linear guide for straight, rigid travel and low deflection. The dual rod doubles thrust while a floating joint protects the rod from side torque. At a 20 mm bore and 20 mm stroke, this model provides moderate thrust for compact guided positioning, and the B adjuster equips both ends with shock absorbers to manage impact energy at the end of each stroke.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with a standard magnet for position sensing. Compatible sensor switches are CMSH, DMSH, and EMSH, which fit the magnetic-switch slots on the body. We confirm exact thrust, dimensions, allowable load, and moment values 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 suits applications needing moderate thrust in a cross-roller slide table; a larger bore increases push force. The 20 mm stroke falls within the bore's published stroke range. The HLS cross-roller guide offers the highest rigidity and lowest deflection among HL sub-families; choose HLQ for ball-bearing anti-rust and dust-proof needs, HLH for miniature roller-ball multi-port precision assembly, or HLF for a low-height cross-roller body. This model uses PT threads and shock absorbers on both ends (B adjuster), which is available on the 20 mm bore for absorbing higher impact energy at stroke ends. For allowable load, moment, and deflection, we confirm sizing from AirTAC's published tables and curves.
Applications
Pick-and-Place Traverse
Transfers parts between two fixed positions with cross-roller precision and dual shock absorbers cushioning each end of the 20 mm stroke.
Gripper Index Slide
Indexes a gripper assembly sideways with repeatable stop accuracy, absorbing impact through both-end shock absorbers.
Stopper Gate
Acts as a timed stopper for workpieces on a short transfer line, using cross-roller rigidity for consistent gate position.
FAQ
What does the B adjuster add to this HLS model?
The B code means shock absorbers are fitted on both the extension and retraction sides, absorbing impact energy at each end of stroke for smoother stops at higher speeds. B-type adjusters are available on bore sizes 8 and above, including this 20 mm bore.
Can this model run at 1.0 MPa?
No. The maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa (100 psi), with an operating range of 0.15-0.7 MPa (22-100 psi) for the 20 mm bore. Proof pressure is 1.2 MPa (175 psi) for validation only, not for continuous operation.
