Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL16X20SA
The AirTAC Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL16X20SA 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 HLSL16X20SA
The AirTAC HLSL16X20SA is a symmetrical cross-roller slide-table cylinder that integrates an air cylinder with a high-precision linear guide so the moving table travels straight with low deflection. The dual-rod double-acting design doubles the thrust versus a single-rod unit, and a floating joint spares the rod from side torque. At bore 16 mm and stroke 20 mm this model suits compact guided stages that need cross-roller rigidity and symmetrical mounting.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. A magnet is standard, and the body carries magnetic-switch slots for CMSH, DMSH or EMSH sensors. We confirm the exact thrust, dimensions and allowable load/moment for this model from the 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 mm gives a moderate thrust step up from the smaller bores; choose a larger bore only if your stage needs more push. The HLS cross-roller guide is the choice when precision, rigidity and load capacity matter more than the anti-rust/dust-proof benefits of HLQ, the low-height body of HLF, or the precision straightness of HLH. Keep the stroke within the bore's published stroke table.
The A adjuster on this model adds an adjustable rubber stopper at both ends for softer end-of-travel cushioning; AS or BS put it on the extension side, AF or BF on the retraction side, and B variants use shock absorbers (not available on bore 6). Thread is PT as standard; order G for G-thread or T for NPT if your fittings differ. Route load, moment and deflection sizing to us - these are published as tables and curves.
Applications
Pick-and-place traverse
Cross-roller rigidity keeps a 16 mm bore pick head moving straight through a short 20 mm stroke for repeatable part placement.
Small-parts transfer gate
Symmetrical mounting lets the guided table push small parts off a conveyor line with a controlled rubber-stopper end position at both ends.
Assembly stage stopper
The dual-rod cross-roller stage holds a workpiece stop at a precise retracted/extended position for an assembly fixture.
FAQ
What does the A in HLSL16X20SA mean?
A denotes an adjustable rubber stopper at both ends of the stroke, giving softer cushioning than the basic bumper. AS places it on the extension side only, AF on the retraction side only, and B variants use shock absorbers (not offered on bore 6).
What is the maximum working pressure for this model?
Maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa. For bore 16 the operating range is 0.15-0.7 MPa (22-100 psi). Proof pressure is 1.2 MPa. Use filtered air and meter-out speed control to keep travel within 50-500 mm/s.
