Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL20X30SAF
The AirTAC Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL20X30SAF 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 HLSL20X30SAF
The HLSL20X30SAF is a symmetrical cross-roller slide table cylinder with an adjustable rubber stopper fitted on the retraction side only. The dual-rod, double-acting cylinder is integrated with a cross-roller linear guide, so the bore-20 table moves on a precise, rigid 30 mm stroke with low deflection, and the dual rods provide clearly higher thrust than an equivalent single-rod cylinder. Because the guide supports the table, side loads are taken by the body rather than the rods, and a floating joint protects the drive from mounting misalignment. The retraction-side stopper lets you tune the cushion where your cycle clamps or parks the table.
This is a genuine AirTAC part; the magnet is fitted as standard and the body's magnetic-switch slots accept CMSH, DMSH or EMSH sensors. Supply 40 um-filtered air at 0.15-0.7 MPa (22-100 psi) and run at 50-500 mm/s. Exact thrust, overall dimensions and allowable load/moment values come from the datasheet or the on-page specification table - we will confirm them 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
If your cycle needs extra cushioning only where the table retracts - for example parking against a fixture or returning under gravity - the AF code (rubber stopper on the retraction side) is the right choice; A gives stoppers at both ends and B/BS/BF fit shock absorbers for heavier impact energy. Bore 20 gives you more push than the 6-12 mm HLSL sizes at equal pressure, so it suits medium payloads on a short 30 mm stroke kept within the bore's published stroke table.
The symmetrical cross-roller HLSL body mounts from either side and delivers high rigidity; switch to HLQ for anti-rust, dust-proof ball-bearing guidance, HLH for miniature roller-ball precision, or HLF for a low-height body. PT thread on this code, with G and NPT variants available. Send us your load and moment conditions and we will verify them against the datasheet tables and curves.
Applications
Clamp-and-verify fixture
Retracts a check or clamp head onto a part with a cushioned, tuned landing, then extends for release - the retraction-side rubber stopper absorbs the repeated parking impact.
Small-parts ejector
Pushes finished parts off a nest or chute; the cross-roller guide keeps the pusher plate square so parts do not jam on the way out.
Assembly stage positioning
Positions components between assembly stations on a precise 30 mm slide, with low-deflection cross-roller guidance maintaining part orientation.
FAQ
How do I choose between the AF and A versions of this cylinder?
The AF code on the HLSL20X30SAF fits the adjustable rubber stopper on the retraction side only - ideal when impact occurs mainly as the table returns. The A version damps both stroke ends, AS covers the extension side, and B/BS/BF substitute shock absorbers. If you are unsure which end takes the impact in your cycle, tell us the motion and we will recommend the right adjuster code.
Can I run the HLSL20X30SAF faster than 500 mm/s under full load?
No - keep speed within the 50-500 mm/s range using meter-out control, and respect the 0.7 MPa maximum working pressure (operating range 0.15-0.7 MPa for this bore). Higher speeds or payloads raise the kinetic energy the stopper must absorb, so allowable load, moment and kinetic energy must be checked against the datasheet tables and curves; we will confirm the published values for your conditions on request.
