Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL12X20S
The AirTAC Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL12X20S is a genuine HLS slide-table cylinder, 12 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 85 N of push at 0.5 MPa. This is the symmetrical version. A floating joint spares the rod from side torque; the magnet is fitted as standard.

About the Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL12X20S
A slide-table cylinder integrates an air cylinder with a linear guide so the moving table travels straight. The HLSL symmetrical cross-roller guide gives the highest precision, rigidity, and lowest deflection in the HL family. The dual-rod double-acting design doubles thrust, and a floating joint spares the rods from side torque. At bore 12 and stroke 20 this unit delivers moderate thrust in a compact, precisely guided package.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The magnet is standard, and the body carries magnetic-switch slots for CMSH, DMSH, or EMSH sensors. We confirm exact thrust, dimensions, and allowable load/moment values from the AirTAC datasheet or the 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 12 sits in the middle of the HLSL range and provides moderate thrust for small-to-medium guided tasks. Choose cross-roller HLSL when precision, rigidity, and load capacity matter more than corrosion resistance. Stroke 20 is well within the bore 12 range; check the datasheet for the full stroke table. This basic version has no external stopper adjuster; the built-in bumper cushions end-of-stroke. Ports are 1/8" with PT threads. Route allowable load and moment sizing to us - AirTAC publishes these as tables and deflection curves.
Applications
Pick-and-Place Assembly
Cross-roller precision guides a small gripper between fixture positions with repeatable end-stop accuracy over a 20 mm stroke.
Small-Parts Transfer
Moves components between conveyor lanes with the dual-rod slide maintaining straightness under side load.
Gripper Traverse
Symmetrical cross-roller guide keeps a part gripper on a straight path through the work stroke without deflection drift.
FAQ
What guide type does the HLSL use and why choose it over HLQ?
The HLSL uses a cross-roller linear guide, which offers the highest precision, rigidity, and load capacity in the HL slide-table family. Choose HLSL when guided accuracy matters more than the corrosion resistance and dust-proofing the ball-bearing HLQ provides. The L suffix means the body is symmetrical, giving identical performance in either mounting orientation.
What is the maximum operating pressure for bore 12?
The maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa (100 psi). For bore 12 the operating range is 0.15-0.7 MPa (22-100 psi). Proof pressure is 1.2 MPa (175 psi). Keep meter-out speed control set so travel speed stays within 50-500 mm/s.
