Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL20X20SA
The AirTAC Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL20X20SA 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.

About the Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL20X20SA
The HLSL20X20SA is a symmetrical cross-roller slide table cylinder: an AirTAC pneumatic cylinder with an integrated linear guide so the table travels straight under load. The cross-roller guide is the highest-precision option in the HL range, giving strong rigidity and low deflection for accurate small-stroke positioning. This 20 mm bore version with 20 mm stroke is a compact mid-size slide: the dual-rod, double-acting design delivers higher thrust than smaller bores, and the floating joint spares the rods from side torque so your tooling does not have to absorb misalignment. The A suffix means adjustable rubber stoppers are fitted at both ends to cushion and fine-tune end positions.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with a position-detecting magnet fitted as standard; magnetic-switch slots on the body accept CMSH, DMSH and EMSH sensor switches. The exact thrust, dimensions and allowable load-moment figures for the HLSL20X20SA are shown in the on-page specification table and datasheet - ask us and we will confirm them for your application before you order.

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 20 mm bore gives you a step up in push over 6-16 mm bores while staying compact; for lighter duty at the same footprint a 12 or 16 mm bore is more economical. Choose HLSL when you want the rigidity and straightness of a cross-roller guide in a symmetrical body; HLQ is the ball-bearing, anti-rust choice, HLH the miniature roller-ball precision slide, and HLF the low-height version. The 20 mm stroke must fall within the bore's published stroke table, which it does here. The A adjuster (adjustable rubber stopper at both ends) suits applications needing a soft, tunable end cushion; AS or AF limit the stopper to one side only, and B-type shock absorbers are available if you need to absorb higher kinetic energy. Ports are 1/8" on this bore, with PT (R) as the supplied thread; G and NPT thread options exist. We will size allowable load and moment against the published tables with you.
Applications
Precision pick-and-place
Mount a gripper or vacuum cup on the table to pick and place small components where the cross-roller guide's straight travel and low deflection keep placement repeatable.
Gripper traverse
Use the 20 mm stroke to carry a parallel gripper sideways between a feed position and a machining or assembly position on a compact automation cell.
Small-parts assembly stage
Drive a small press-fit, staking or sorting stage where the symmetrical table, dual-rod thrust and adjustable rubber stoppers give a controlled, cushioned end position.
FAQ
What does the A in HLSL20X20SA mean?
It decodes the adjuster position: A means adjustable rubber stoppers are fitted at both ends of the slide. AS is extension side only, AF is retraction side only, and B-type means shock absorbers instead. The S after the stroke is not an option - it indicates the magnet that is fitted as standard on this whole series.
What pressure and speed limits apply?
The 20 mm bore runs at 0.15-0.7 MPa (22-100 psi), with 0.7 MPa as the maximum working pressure; proof pressure is 1.2 MPa. Control speed with a meter-out circuit within the 50-500 mm/s range, using clean air filtered to 40 um, at 0-70 C (non-freezing).
