Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL16X20S
The AirTAC Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL16X20S is a genuine HLS slide-table cylinder, 16 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 151 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 HLSL16X20S
The HLSL16X20S is a symmetrical cross-roller slide-table cylinder with a 16 mm bore and 20 mm stroke. The integrated cross-roller linear guide keeps the moving table traveling straight with high rigidity and minimal deflection. Dual rods double the thrust, while a floating joint isolates the rods from side torque. The short 20 mm stroke suits compact indexing and stopper duties.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with a standard magnet for position sensing using CMSH, DMSH, or EMSH switches in the body slots. We confirm exact thrust, dimensions, and allowable load-moment from the AirTAC datasheet or 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 16 provides higher thrust in a short-stroke cross-roller slide for compact layouts. The HLSL symmetrical body fits mirror-image or center-mounted setups. This model has no adjuster code - it uses the basic bumper cushion. For adjustable rubber stoppers or shock absorbers, specify A or B codes (shock absorbers not available on bore 6). Thread is PT. Allowable load and moment are published as tables and deflection curves - route sizing to us.
Applications
Short-Stroke Gripper Traverse
A 20 mm cross-roller stroke traverses a gripper between two positions with rigid, repeatable positioning in a tight mounting envelope.
Compact Stopper Mechanism
Serves as a short-stroke stopper or detent on an assembly line where the symmetrical body allows mounting from either side.
Small-Parts Shuttle
Shuttles small parts between two closely spaced stations with dual-rod thrust and cross-roller precision in minimal stroke length.
FAQ
Does the HLSL16X20S come with shock absorbers or adjustable stoppers?
No. The model code HLSL16X20S has no adjuster suffix, meaning it uses the basic bumper cushion at both ends. To add an adjustable rubber stopper specify A, or for a shock absorber specify B (both ends), BS (extension side), or BF (retraction side). Shock absorbers are not available on bore 6.
What load and moment capacity does the HLSL16X20S have?
Allowable load, moment, and table deflection are published as tables and curves in the AirTAC datasheet. We confirm these values for your specific bore, stroke, and guide configuration on request so you can size accurately.
