Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS20X40SA
The AirTAC Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS20X40SA 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 HLS20X40SA
The AirTAC HLS20X40SA is a double-acting dual-rod slide-table cylinder with a 20 mm bore and 40 mm stroke. It integrates an air cylinder with a cross-roller linear guide so the moving table travels straight with high precision, rigidity and low deflection. The dual rod doubles thrust, a floating joint protects the rod from side torque, and adjustable rubber stoppers at both ends let you fine-tune end-of-stroke positioning.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with a standard magnet for position sensing - compatible with CMSH, DMSH and EMSH sensor switches in the body slots. We confirm exact thrust, dimensions, allowable load and moment values from the published 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
A 20 mm bore gives higher thrust than smaller HLS bores, suiting applications that need more push force in a compact cross-roller guided slide. Choose the HLS cross-roller guide when precision and rigidity matter most; pick HLQ for anti-rust, dust-proof service. Stay within the bore's published stroke table for 40 mm travel. The A adjuster adds rubber stoppers on both ends for repeatable end positioning. Standard PT thread and 1/8 inch ports. We route load-moment and deflection sizing to the published tables and curves - contact us for confirmation.
Applications
Pick-and-Place Head
Cross-roller precision and dual-rod thrust position small electronic components accurately across a 40 mm stroke with stoppers at both ends.
Small-Parts Transfer
Moves lightweight workpieces straight between conveyor stations with low guide deflection and repeatable end positioning on both sides.
Assembly Stage
Indexes a subassembly into position for the next operation with adjustable rubber stoppers setting both endpoints precisely.
FAQ
What does the A in HLS20X40SA indicate?
The A means adjustable rubber stoppers on both extension and retraction ends, giving fine control over end-of-stroke positioning. B-type shock absorbers are also available for this bore size if you need energy absorption.
What is the maximum operating pressure for this 20 mm bore model?
The maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa (100 psi). Operating range for a 20 mm bore is 0.15 to 0.7 MPa (22 to 100 psi). Always meter out speed control to stay within 50 to 500 mm/s.
