Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS20X20SBS
The AirTAC Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS20X20SBS 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 HLS20X20SBS
The HLS20X20SBS is a cross-roller guided slide-table cylinder with a 20 mm bore and 20 mm stroke. Its integrated linear guide keeps the moving table traveling straight under load, while the dual-rod design doubles the thrust compared with a single-rod unit. A floating joint protects the rods from side torque, and the cross-roller guide provides high rigidity and low deflection for precise positioning.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with a standard magnet for position sensing. Compatible sensor switches include the CMSH, DMSH, and EMSH series, which mount in the body slots. The BS adjuster adds a shock absorber on the extension side for smoother end-of-stroke deceleration. We confirm thrust, dimensions, 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
Bore 20 gives higher thrust than the smaller bores in the HLS cross-roller family, making it suitable where more push force is needed without stepping up to a larger body. The 20 mm stroke falls within the standard range for this bore. Choose the HLS cross-roller guide when rigidity and precise straight-line travel matter most; for anti-rust or dust-proof needs consider the HLQ ball-bearing series instead. The BS option places a shock absorber on the extension side for heavier moving loads. Standard thread is PT; specify G or NPT if your fittings differ. Contact us to confirm allowable load, moment, and deflection from the published AirTAC tables and curves for your application.
Applications
Pick-and-Place Head
Mounts a gripper for precise part placement with cross-roller rigidity and 20 mm travel.
Small-Parts Transfer
Shuttles components between stations with straight guided travel and dual-rod thrust.
Assembly Stage Stop
Positions a workpiece at an assembly station with shock-absorber deceleration on extension.
FAQ
What does the BS adjuster code mean on this HLS20X20SBS?
BS indicates a shock absorber fitted on the extension side only. The B denotes shock absorber (versus A for rubber stopper), and S means extension side (F would be retraction). This helps decelerate heavier loads at the end of the extension stroke. B-type adjusters are available on bore 8 and larger in the HLS series.
What is the maximum operating pressure for the HLS20 series?
The maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa (100 psi). Operating pressure for bore 20 is 0.15 to 0.7 MPa (22 to 100 psi). Never exceed 0.7 MPa. We confirm allowable load and moment values from the AirTAC datasheet on request.
