Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS20X40SBS
The AirTAC Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS20X40SBS 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 HLS20X40SBS
The AirTAC HLS20X40SBS is a cross-roller slide-table cylinder with a 20 mm bore and 40 mm stroke. A dual-rod double-acting air cylinder is integrated with a precision cross-roller linear guide for straight travel, high rigidity, and low deflection. The dual rod doubles thrust for a bigger bore, and a floating joint protects the rod from side torque. A shock absorber on the extension side cushions impact at the extend end.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with a standard magnet for position sensing using CMSH, DMSH, or EMSH switches. We confirm exact thrust, dimensions, and load-moment ratings from the 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
The 20 mm bore provides higher thrust than smaller bores in the HLS cross-roller family; choose a bigger bore when you need more push. The cross-roller guide offers the highest precision, rigidity, and load capacity among the slide-table sub-families. The 40 mm stroke falls within the bore 20 stroke table. This model includes a shock absorber on the extension side only; the retraction side uses a standard bumper. Port thread is PT. Contact us to confirm allowable load, moment, and kinetic energy from the published tables and deflection curves.
Applications
Pick-and-Place Assembly
Guides small parts precisely between stations on an automated assembly line.

Gripper Traverse
Mounts a gripper for precise lateral movement in a packaging or inspection cell.
FAQ
What does the BS adjuster code mean on HLS20X40SBS?
BS indicates a shock absorber on the extension side only. The retraction side uses a standard bumper. B-type adjusters are not available on bore 6 cylinders.
What sensors are compatible with the standard magnet?
The magnet is standard on all HLS models. Compatible sensor switches are CMSH, DMSH, and EMSH series, which fit the magnetic-switch slots on the cylinder body.
