Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL16X20SBS
The AirTAC Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL16X20SBS 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 HLSL16X20SBS
The AirTAC HLSL16X20SBS 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. The BS adjuster places a shock absorber on the extension side only, where end-of-stroke impact is expected in the forward direction.
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. Stroke 20 mm fits within the standard range for this bore. The BS adjuster installs a shock absorber on the extension side, ideal when the forward stroke carries more kinetic energy than the return stroke. 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
Forward-Press Stage
Presses a small part into a fixture across a 20 mm stroke; the extension-side shock absorber cushions the forward stop where pressing impact is highest.
Ejector Push-Out
Ejects a finished component forward from an assembly nest, with the shock absorber managing the extension end-stop impact after the eject stroke.
Stamping Actuator
Drives a small stamping or marking head forward against a workpiece, the cross-roller guide holding position and the BS shock absorber absorbing the marking impact.
FAQ
What does the BS adjuster code mean on this HLSL model?
The BS code indicates a shock absorber installed on the extension side only of the slide table. HLSL16X20SBS cushions impact at the forward end-of-stroke position. BS-type adjusters are not available on bore 6; choose B if you need absorbers on both ends.
What speed range and meter-out control apply to this cylinder?
The HL series supports a speed range of 50-500 mm/s using meter-out flow control. For bore 16, operating pressure is 0.15-0.7 MPa (22-100 psi) with a maximum working pressure of 0.7 MPa (100 psi). Proper meter-out control is essential to keep speed within range and protect the shock absorber.
