Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL12X20SA
The AirTAC Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL12X20SA 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 HLSL12X20SA
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. The A adjuster adds an adjustable rubber stopper at both ends for fine end-position tuning beyond the built-in bumper. 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; rubber stoppers let you dial in exact end stops over the 20 mm stroke.
Small-Parts Transfer
Moves components between conveyor lanes with dual-rod straightness and adjustable rubber stoppers for repeatable lane positioning.
Gripper Traverse
Symmetrical cross-roller guide keeps a part gripper straight while both-end stoppers fine-tune pick and place endpoints.
FAQ
What does the A adjuster code add to this slide table?
The A code adds an adjustable rubber stopper at both ends of the stroke, letting you fine-tune the end position beyond the built-in bumper. This is useful when you need repeatable stopping slightly short of full travel on both extension and retraction.
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.
