Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS20X30SBS
The AirTAC Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS20X30SBS 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 HLS20X30SBS
This double-acting dual-rod slide-table cylinder pairs an air cylinder with an integrated cross-roller linear guide for straight, high-precision travel and excellent rigidity. The HLS cross-roller guide delivers the lowest deflection and highest load capacity among AirTAC slide tables. Dual rods double the thrust and a floating joint protects the rod from side torque so the guide bearings last longer. At bore 20 and stroke 30 the unit fits mid-range guided travel where a shock absorber on the extension side absorbs the end-of-stroke shock at the rod-out end.
This is a genuine AirTAC HLS part. A standard magnet enables position sensing with CMSH, DMSH or EMSH reed switches in the body slots. We verify exact thrust, overall dimensions, allowable load and moment from the AirTAC datasheet or on-page specification 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 more push than the smaller bores; increasing bore raises thrust without adding guide length. The HLS cross-roller guide is chosen when rigidity and minimal deflection are the priority - HLQ offers anti-rust dust-proof ball bearings, HLH a miniature roller-ball guide with three port groups, and HLF a reduced-height body. Keep the stroke within the bore 20 datasheet range. The BS adjuster places a shock absorber on the extension side only; choose B for both ends, BF for the retraction side, A for rubber stoppers, or blank for the basic bumper. Thread is PT; G or NPT are available on request. We confirm allowable load and moment from the published Wmax and moment tables and deflection curves.
Applications
Gripper Traverse
Carries a gripper across a 30 mm extension stroke for precise part presentation, the shock absorber cushioning the rod-out stop.
Assembly Stage Slide
Positions a workpiece or tool at an assembly station with cross-roller straightness keeping alignment tight under load.
Indexing Transfer
Indexes components horizontally between two fixed points where rigid guided travel and repeatable stops matter.
FAQ
What does the BS adjuster code mean?
BS adds a shock absorber on the extension side only, cushioning the impact at the rod-out end of stroke. Use B for both ends, BF for the retraction side, A for adjustable rubber stoppers, or leave blank for the basic bumper. Shock-absorber options are not available on bore 6.
How is load and moment capacity confirmed for this model?
Allowable load, moment and kinetic energy are published in the AirTAC Wmax and moment tables, and table deflection is published as curves. We route sizing from those published tables rather than estimating, so contact us with your load and stroke for a verified check.
