Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL12X20SBF
The AirTAC Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL12X20SBF 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 HLSL12X20SBF
The AirTAC HLSL12X20SBF is a symmetrical cross-roller slide-table cylinder with a 12 mm bore and 20 mm stroke. As a dual-rod double-acting unit, it pairs an air cylinder with a precision cross-roller linear guide for straight travel and low deflection. The dual rods provide moderate thrust while the floating joint protects them from side torque. A shock absorber on the retraction side smooths the return stroke for higher-speed operation.
This genuine AirTAC component has a standard magnet fitted for position sensing. Compatible sensors include CMSH, DMSH and EMSH series installed in the body's switch slots. We confirm exact thrust, dimensions, load and moment data from the AirTAC datasheet or on-page specification 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 this model when bore 12 moderate thrust and a 20 mm stroke meet your needs and the retraction stroke requires energy absorption. The BF adjuster places a shock absorber on the retraction side while the extension side uses the standard bumper. The HLSL symmetrical cross-roller guide delivers high precision and rigidity. Thread is PT. Contact us for load and moment values from the published AirTAC tables and deflection curves to confirm sizing.
Applications
Return-Stroke Pick-and-Place
The retraction-side shock absorber cushions the return stroke in a pick-and-place unit while the cross-roller guide maintains positional accuracy.
Parts Transfer Shuttle
Shuttles small parts between conveyor lines with the symmetrical dual-rod table providing straight guided motion over the 20 mm stroke.
Workpiece Positioning
Positions a workpiece at a fixture with controlled retraction deceleration from the BF shock absorber for smooth return motion.
FAQ
What does the BF adjuster code mean?
The BF code places a shock absorber on the retraction (return) side of the cylinder. The extension side uses the standard bumper. B-type adjusters are available on bore 12 and larger but not on bore 6.
How is load and moment capacity confirmed?
Allowable load, moment and kinetic energy are published in AirTAC specification tables, and deflection is shown as curves. We reference these to confirm values for your specific mounting and application on request.
