Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS20X50SB
The AirTAC Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS20X50SB 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 HLS20X50SB
The HLS20X50SB is a double-acting dual-rod slide-table cylinder that combines an air cylinder with a cross-roller linear guide for straight, low-deflection travel. The 20 mm bore with 50 mm stroke provides higher thrust for a bigger bore, the dual rod doubles the thrust, and a floating joint prevents side torque on the rod. The B adjuster equips both ends with shock absorbers to soften impact at end-of-stroke for smoother operation.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with a standard magnet fitted for position sensing. Compatible sensor switches are CMSH, DMSH, and EMSH series, which seat in the magnetic-switch slots on the body. We verify exact thrust, dimensions, and allowable load-moment from the 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
Select the 20 mm bore when your application requires higher thrust than the smaller bores; the 50 mm stroke must be within the bore's published stroke table. The HLS cross-roller guide is the choice for highest precision, rigidity, and load capacity in the HL range. The B adjuster adds shock absorbers on both ends, ideal for higher-speed strokes where bumper cushioning alone is insufficient; B-type adjusters are not available on bore 6. Thread is PT; G and NPT variants are separate model codes.
Allowable load, moment, and kinetic-energy values are published as Wmax/Emax/moment tables and deflection curves. Route your sizing to us and we will confirm the figures for your stroke and mounting configuration.
Applications
Gripper Traverse
Cross-roller straightness and dual-rod thrust move a gripper head precisely over 50 mm for part pickup and release.
Workpiece Stopper
Acts as a guided stopper that retracts to release and extends to halt passing workpieces with shock-absorber end cushioning.
Assembly Stage Index
Indexes a sub-assembly fixture through a 50 mm stroke with controlled shock absorption at both travel ends.
FAQ
What does the B adjuster code mean on the HLS20X50SB?
B indicates shock absorbers fitted on both ends of the slide table for impact damping at extension and retraction limits. The B option is not available on bore 6; for single-side damping use BS for extension or BF for retraction.
How fast can this slide table operate?
Operating speed is 50-500 mm/s with meter-out speed control recommended. Maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa, and for bore 20 the operating pressure range is 0.15-0.7 MPa (22-100 psi).
