Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL20X30SBS
The AirTAC Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL20X30SBS 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 HLSL20X30SBS
The HLSL20X30SBS is a symmetrical cross-roller slide table cylinder that integrates a double-acting, dual-rod air cylinder with a rigid cross-roller linear guide, so the table travels straight with very low deflection. With a 20 mm bore and 30 mm stroke it delivers higher thrust than smaller bores in the series, and the two rods work together to double the output while a built-in floating joint keeps side torque off the rods. The BS suffix adds shock absorbers on the extension side to cushion end-of-stroke impact.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with a position-detecting magnet fitted as standard, and magnetic-switch slots on the body accept CMSH, DMSH and EMSH sensor switches. Exact thrust, dimensions and allowable load and moment values for this bore and stroke are shown in the on-page datasheet table, and we are glad to confirm any figure from the datasheet 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 20 mm bore gives you more push than the 6, 8, 12 or 16 mm options in the HLSL series, so choose it when the workpiece or the cycle needs noticeably higher thrust; the exact value for 0.5 MPa is in the spec table. The cross-roller guide is the precision choice in the AirTAC HL line - pick HLSL over the ball-bearing HLQL when rigidity and low deflection matter most, over the compact HLF when you can accept a taller body for maximum guidance, and over the miniature HLH when you need a larger bore. Stroke must match a value in the 20 mm bore table; 30 mm is a standard entry.
On HLSL bodies you can order the basic version or add cushioning: this model carries BS, a shock absorber fitted on the extension side only (B-type adjusters are not offered on bore 6). Ports are 1/8" on this bore, and the thread code blank corresponds to PT; G and NPT options exist if your piping needs them. For load, moment and kinetic-energy sizing, work from the published tables and curves - send us your application and we will confirm the values.
Applications
Pick-and-place handling
The cross-roller guide keeps the table square through the whole 30 mm travel, so a vacuum or gripper end effector picks and places parts without lateral drift.
Gripper traverse
Traverses a small gripper between two fixture positions; the dual-rod output carries the gripper weight and the floating joint absorbs misalignment from the mounting frame.
Assembly stage indexing
Positions a small sub-assembly under a screwdriver or press; the extension-side shock absorbers let the stage stop smoothly at a repeatable end position.
FAQ
What does the BS suffix on HLSL20X30SBS mean, and can I order it without it?
On the HLSL cross-roller series the S is the standard magnet (always fitted), and the adjuster letter that follows decodes the cushioning: blank is basic, A is adjustable rubber stoppers on both ends, B is shock absorbers on both ends, and BS or BF is a shock absorber on the extension or retraction side only. HLSL20X30SBS therefore has a shock absorber on the extension side; the same bore and stroke is also available in the basic HLSL20X30S version. B-type adjusters are not offered on bore 6.
What air supply and speed limits apply to this cylinder?
Run it on clean, filtered air (filtration to 40 um) at 0.15 to 0.7 MPa for this 20 mm bore - the maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa, with 1.2 MPa proof pressure - and keep speed between 50 and 500 mm/s, typically controlled with meter-out flow valves. Allowable load, moment and kinetic energy are confirmed from the published datasheet tables and curves, not estimated; contact us with your application details and we will verify the numbers.
