Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS20X50SA
The AirTAC Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS20X50SA 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 HLS20X50SA
The HLS20X50SA is a double-acting dual-rod slide-table cylinder integrating an air cylinder with a cross-roller linear guide for precise, rigid straight-line travel. The cross-roller design minimizes deflection under side loads, and the dual rod doubles thrust versus a single-rod cylinder of the same bore. A floating joint protects the rod from side torque. The A suffix adds adjustable rubber-stopper bumpers at both ends, giving repeatable end-position control without external stops. At bore 20 and stroke 50, this model provides higher thrust for medium-duty guided tasks.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with a standard magnet for position sensing. The body has magnetic-switch slots for CMSH, DMSH, and EMSH series sensors. We confirm thrust, dimensions, allowable 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 HLS bores, suitable for heavier workpieces or moderate process forces. The HLS cross-roller guide provides the highest precision and rigidity in the HL family; choose HLQ for anti-rust ball-bearing guidance, HLH for miniature roller-ball straightness, or HLF for a compact low-height body. The A adjuster on this model means adjustable rubber stoppers at both extension and retraction ends, which let you fine-tune end position without adding external shock pads. If you need shock absorbers instead, look at the B, BS, or BF options (not available on bore 6). Thread is PT; request G or NPT if needed. Route all load and moment sizing to us for confirmation against published tables and curves.
Applications
Assembly Stage Push
Adjustable rubber stoppers set a precise 50 mm push stroke to seat a connector into a housing with repeatable end force.
Lateral Transfer Gate
Dual-rod thrust shifts a diverter gate between two conveyor lanes; the cross-roller guide keeps the gate edge straight under load.
Stopper Positioning
Rubber stoppers at both ends hold a product-stopper pin at exactly the right extension and retraction points for repeatable indexing.
FAQ
What does the A suffix mean on the HLS20X50SA?
The A in the model code indicates adjustable rubber stoppers installed at both the extension and retraction ends. This lets you fine-tune end positions without relying on the basic bumper alone. Other adjuster options include B (shock absorber both ends), AS or BS (extension side), and AF or BF (retraction side). B-type adjusters are not available on bore 6.
Can I use a meter-out speed control up to 500 mm/s with the HLS20X50SA?
Yes. The rated speed range is 50-500 mm/s with proper meter-out flow control. Never exceed the maximum working pressure of 0.7 MPa (100 psi). For bore 20 the operating pressure range is 0.15-0.7 MPa (22-100 psi). Confirm load and moment against the datasheet tables before running at full speed.
