Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL16X20SB
The AirTAC Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL16X20SB 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 HLSL16X20SB
The AirTAC HLSL16X20SB is a symmetrical cross-roller slide-table cylinder with a 16 mm bore and 20 mm stroke. As a dual-rod double-acting unit, it integrates an air cylinder with a cross-roller linear guide so the moving table travels straight with high precision and rigidity. The dual rods deliver more thrust than a single-rod design, and the floating joint prevents side torque from reaching the rods. This model carries shock absorbers at both ends to manage end-of-stroke energy.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with a standard magnet for position sensing. Compatible sensors include CMSH, DMSH, and EMSH series switches that mount in the body slots. We confirm exact thrust, dimensions, and allowable load/moment values 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 16 mm bore gives moderate thrust suitable for mid-range guided applications; choose a larger bore if you need more push force. The HLSL cross-roller guide offers the highest precision and rigidity among the HL sub-families, making it the pick when deflection must be minimal. The symmetrical body allows mounting from either side for even load distribution. Stroke 20 mm fits within the standard range for this bore. The B adjuster places shock absorbers at both ends, ideal when impact energy is significant in both travel directions. Ports are 1/8" with PT thread; select G for BSPP or T for NPT if your fittings differ. Contact us to confirm allowable load and moment from the published tables and deflection curves.
Applications
Pick-and-Place Head
Mounts a small gripper for precise component placement with the cross-roller guide keeping deflection negligible across the 20 mm stroke and shock absorbers cushioning both stops.
Parts Transfer Stop
Acts as a guided stopper that extends and retracts precisely to halt and release workpieces on a conveyor line, with end cushioning at both positions.
Assembly Stage Positioner
Indexes a sub-assembly fixture between two positions with shock absorbers absorbing impact energy at both the extended and retracted ends.
FAQ
What does the B adjuster code mean on this HLSL model?
The B code indicates shock absorbers installed at both ends of the slide table. HLSL16X20SB cushions impact at both the extension and retraction end-of-stroke positions. B-type adjusters are not available on bore 6.
What is the maximum operating pressure for this bore?
The maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa (100 psi) for all HL series cylinders. For bore 16, the operating range is 0.15-0.7 MPa (22-100 psi). Never exceed 0.7 MPa; proof pressure is 1.2 MPa (175 psi) for validation only.
