Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL12X20SBS
The AirTAC Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL12X20SBS 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 HLSL12X20SBS
The AirTAC HLSL12X20SBS is a symmetrical cross-roller guided slide-table cylinder with a 12 mm bore and 20 mm stroke. A dual-rod, double-acting air cylinder is integrated with a high-precision cross-roller linear guide so the table travels straight with minimal deflection. The dual rod doubles the thrust while a floating joint protects the rod from side torque, and the symmetrical body layout suits applications where mounting access from either side matters.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with a standard magnet fitted for position sensing via CMSH, DMSH or EMSH switches in the body slots. Thrust, dimensions, allowable load, moment and kinetic-energy values are confirmed 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
A 12 mm bore in the HLSL cross-roller family gives moderate thrust for guided transfer and pick-and-place tasks; choose a larger bore if you need more push force. The BS adjuster fits shock absorbers at both ends for heavier end-of-stroke impact energy at this stroke length. Stroke must stay within the bore 12 range listed in the datasheet, and the PT thread matches standard port fittings. We confirm allowable load, moment and deflection curves from the published tables when sizing your application.
Applications
Pick-and-Place Head
Precise cross-roller guidance positions small parts repeatably during pick-and-place cycles on an assembly line.
Parts Transfer Stop
The symmetrical body and shock-absorber end stops make a stable transfer gate that halts components on a conveyor without rebound.
Gripper Traverse Stage
Short 20 mm stroke moves a gripper between two fixed stations with low deflection and consistent positioning.
FAQ
What does the BS in HLSL12X20SBS mean?
BS indicates a shock absorber fitted at both ends of the stroke, providing energy absorption for end-of-tray impact. This adjuster option is available on bore 12 and larger in the HLS/HLSL family.
What is the maximum operating pressure for this model?
The maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa (100 psi). For the 12 mm bore the operating range is 0.15-0.7 MPa (22-100 psi). Never exceed 0.7 MPa; proof pressure is 1.2 MPa for validation only.
