The AirTAC Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL20X20S is a genuine HLS slide-table cylinder, 20 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 236 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.
The HLSL20X20S is a genuine AirTAC symmetrical cross-roller slide table cylinder: a 20 mm bore, dual-rod, double-acting cylinder with an integrated cross-roller linear guide that keeps the table path straight and rigid. The short 20 mm stroke suits compact, short-throw moves such as clamping-adjacent pushes or small indexing steps, the dual rods deliver higher push than a single-rod cylinder of the same bore, and the floating joint protects the rods from side torque.
A genuine AirTAC part with the magnet fitted as standard, it accepts CMSH, DMSH or EMSH magnetic switches in the body slots for position detection. We confirm the exact thrust, dimensions, allowable load and moment from the datasheet or the 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.
At 20 mm bore this model sits in the mid-thrust band of the HLSL series, pushing harder than the 6, 8, 12 and 16 mm bores for its pressure range; larger thrust needs the 25 mm bore instead. The symmetrical cross-roller guide is chosen over the HLQ ball-bearing table when precision and rigidity come first. The 20 mm stroke is one of the shortest in the bore 20 stroke table, ideal where throw is tight. As a basic version (blank adjuster) it ships with bumpers; adjustable rubber stoppers (A) or shock absorbers (B, BS, BF) are available on the same bore if impact deceleration is needed. Thread is PT, with G and NPT variants listed. Allowable load and moment are confirmed from the published tables and curves, so route sizing through us.
The 20 mm stroke nudges parts square against a fixture reference, with the cross-roller guide keeping the push direction straight and repeatable.
The dual-rod table applies firm, steady push over a short travel for seating small components, the floating joint absorbing side torque from the fixture.
A short indexing step on test equipment, moving sample holders between positions with precise guided travel and sensor-switch position feedback.
Bore size sets the push: a 20 mm bore gives moderate to higher thrust than the 6 to 16 mm bores at the same pressure, while the 25 mm bore is there when you need more again. Stroke stays within the published bore 20 stroke table, and the cross-roller guide of the HLSL series is the choice when precision and rigidity matter more than the HLQ ball-bearing version's anti-rust, dust-proof qualities.
No, the magnet is fitted as standard on every HLSL model including the HLSL20X20S, so CMSH, DMSH or EMSH switches can be added for position detection at any time. Operating pressure for bore 20 is 0.15 to 0.7 MPa (22-100 psi) with a maximum working pressure of 0.7 MPa, and allowable load and moment for your workpiece are confirmed from the datasheet tables, never estimated.
