Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS20X40SAF
The AirTAC Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS20X40SAF 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 HLS20X40SAF
The AirTAC HLS20X40SAF is a double-acting dual-rod slide-table cylinder with a 20 mm bore and 40 mm stroke. It pairs an air cylinder with a cross-roller linear guide for straight, precise travel with high rigidity and low deflection. The dual rod doubles thrust, a floating joint spares the rod from side torque, and an adjustable rubber stopper on the retraction side lets you fine-tune the return-end position.
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 provides higher thrust than smaller HLS bores for applications needing more push force in a compact cross-roller guided slide. Choose the HLS cross-roller guide when precision and rigidity are the priority; pick HLQ for anti-rust, dust-proof service. Stay within the bore's published stroke table for 40 mm travel. The AF adjuster adds a rubber stopper on the retraction side only, useful when the extend end uses a different stopping method. 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 a tuned retraction stopper.
Gripper Traverse
Moves a gripper between pick and release positions with a precisely set retraction endpoint while the extend end uses external tooling.
Assembly Stage
Indexes a subassembly back to home position with a rubber stopper on the retract side for repeatable return-stroke positioning.
FAQ
What does the AF adjuster code mean on HLS20X40SAF?
AF means an adjustable rubber stopper on the retraction side only. The extension side has the basic bumper. If you need stoppers on both ends, choose the A version; for the extension side only, choose AS.
How do I confirm the allowable load and moment for this slide table?
Load, moment and deflection values are published as tables and curves in the datasheet. We confirm the exact figures for your mounting orientation and operating conditions on request. Maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa.
