Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL12X20SB
The AirTAC Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL12X20SB 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 HLSL12X20SB
The AirTAC HLSL12X20SB is a symmetrical cross-roller slide-table cylinder with a 12 mm bore and 20 mm stroke. Its dual-rod double-acting design integrates an air cylinder with a high-rigidity cross-roller linear guide for straight, low-deflection travel. The dual rods provide moderate thrust, and the floating joint isolates the rods from side load. Shock absorbers on both ends provide smooth end-of-stroke deceleration for higher-speed applications.
This genuine AirTAC part includes a standard magnet for position detection. Sensor switches from the CMSH, DMSH and EMSH ranges fit the body's dedicated switch slots. We verify thrust, dimensions, allowable load and moment from the AirTAC datasheet or the on-page spec table upon 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 this bore 12, 20 mm stroke model when you need moderate guided thrust with shock-absorber cushioning at both ends. The B adjuster suits applications with higher impact speeds where a bumper alone is insufficient. The HLSL symmetrical cross-roller guide delivers top-tier precision and rigidity among HL slide tables. Thread is PT. For load and moment limits, we reference the published AirTAC tables and deflection curves to confirm sizing for your application.
Applications
High-Speed Pick-and-Place
The shock-absorber cushioning on both ends supports faster cycle pick-and-place while the cross-roller guide keeps positioning repeatable.
Gripper Traverse Stage
Traverses a gripper between two positions with the dual-rod table holding the load steady and straight over the 20 mm stroke.
Assembly Feed Stop
Feeds or stops a part at an assembly station with controlled deceleration from the dual shock absorbers on both ends.
FAQ
What does the B adjuster code mean?
The B code specifies shock absorbers at both ends of the cylinder, providing energy absorption for higher-speed strokes. B-type adjusters are available on bore 12 and larger; bore 6 does not offer B-type adjusters.
What speed range is supported?
The cylinder operates at 50-500 mm/s. Use meter-out speed control for stable motion. Operating pressure for bore 12 is 0.15-0.7 MPa (22-100 psi), with a maximum working pressure of 0.7 MPa.
