Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS20X50SBF
The AirTAC Airtac HLS Precision Slide Cylinder HLS20X50SBF 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 HLS20X50SBF
The HLS20X50SBF is a double-acting dual-rod slide-table cylinder integrating an air cylinder with a cross-roller linear guide for precise, low-deflection straight travel. The 20 mm bore with 50 mm stroke gives higher thrust for a bigger bore, the dual rod doubles the thrust, and a floating joint isolates the rod from side torque. The BF adjuster places a shock absorber on the retraction side only, damping impact at the return end while the extension end uses standard bumper cushioning.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with a standard magnet fitted for position sensing. Compatible sensor switches are CMSH, DMSH, and EMSH series, installed in the magnetic-switch slots on the body. We confirm 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
Choose the 20 mm bore when higher thrust is needed; the 50 mm stroke must sit within the bore's published stroke table. The HLS cross-roller guide provides the highest precision, rigidity, and load capacity in the HL family. The BF adjuster suits applications where impact damping is needed on retraction only, such as a return stroke carrying load; BF is not available on bore 6. Thread is PT; G or NPT thread options are separate model variants.
Load, moment, and kinetic-energy limits are published as Wmax/Emax/moment tables and deflection curves. Route sizing to us for confirmation against your specific stroke and mounting orientation.
Applications
Pick-and-Place Traverse
Cross-roller precision guides a pick head over a 50 mm stroke for repeatable component placement on PCBs or trays.
Small-Parts Shuttle
Shuttles small parts laterally between stations with straight guided motion and retraction-side shock absorption.
Tooling Stage Return
Retracts a tooling or inspection head to home position with damped return impact while extending under standard bumper cushioning.
FAQ
What does the BF adjuster code mean on the HLS20X50SBF?
BF indicates a shock absorber fitted on the retraction side only. This damps impact at the return end of travel while the extension end relies on the standard bumper. B-type adjusters (B, BS, BF) are not available on bore 6.
Can you confirm allowable load and moment for this model?
Yes. Allowable load, moment, and kinetic-energy values are published as Wmax/Emax/moment tables and deflection curves in the datasheet. We confirm the exact figures for your stroke and mounting orientation on request.
