Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL20X20SAF
The AirTAC Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL20X20SAF 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 HLSL20X20SAF
The HLSL20X20SAF is a symmetrical cross-roller slide table cylinder: an AirTAC cylinder with a built-in linear guide that keeps the table moving straight under load. The cross-roller guide is the high-precision, high-rigidity option in the HL series, with low deflection for repeatable positioning. In this 20 mm bore, 20 mm stroke version, the double-acting dual-rod layout gives higher thrust than smaller bores, and the floating joint isolates the rods from side torque so misalignment does not side-load the guide. The AF suffix means an adjustable rubber stopper is fitted on the retraction side to cushion and adjust the return end position.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with a magnet fitted as standard, so the slots on the body accept CMSH, DMSH and EMSH magnetic switches for end-position detection. Exact thrust, dimensions and allowable load-moment data for the HLSL20X20SAF are published in the on-page specification table and datasheet - we will confirm the figures 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 20 gives more push than the 6-16 mm sizes in this series while remaining compact - match the bore to the load qualitatively, then verify thrust from the on-page table. Choose HLSL for the cross-roller guide's precision and rigidity in a symmetrical body; HLQ suits dusty or corrosion-prone settings with its ball-bearing anti-rust guide, HLH is the miniature roller-ball precision slide, and HLF saves height. The AF adjuster puts the adjustable rubber stopper on the retraction side only - pick A for cushioning at both ends, AS for extension side only, or a B-type shock absorber where kinetic energy is higher. Stroke 20 mm sits within this bore's published table. Ports are 1/8" with PT thread as standard (G and NPT optional). Send us your load and moment conditions and we will check them against the published tables.
Applications
Assembly press stage
Advance a light press-fit or clipping tool with the cross-roller table's straight travel, using the retraction-side rubber stopper to give a cushioned, repeatable return.
Small-parts transfer
Carry a suction or gripper tooling plate between stations where low guide deflection keeps small parts aligned during the 20 mm transfer.
Positioning stopper
Deploy the table as a precise stopper or ejector on a conveyor line, cushioning workpieces on the adjusted end of travel.
FAQ
Why choose the AF adjuster over A or AS?
AF fits the adjustable rubber stopper on the retraction side only, so the return end position is cushioned and adjustable while the extension end stays basic. Choose A if you need adjustment at both ends, AS if only the extension side needs it, or a B-type shock absorber to absorb higher kinetic energy.
Can I size the load from the bore alone?
No. Allowable load, moment and kinetic energy for the HLSL20X20SAF are published as tables and deflection curves, not derived from bore size. Confirm the thrust figure in the on-page specification table and send us your payload and moment conditions so we can check them against the datasheet before ordering.
