Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL20X40S
The AirTAC Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL20X40S 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 HLSL20X40S
The HLSL20X40S is the symmetrical cross-roller slide table in the AirTAC HL line: a double-acting, dual-rod cylinder built onto a rigid cross-roller linear guide so the table moves in a straight line with low deflection. The 20 mm bore delivers higher thrust than the smaller bores in the series, the paired rods double the output, and the integrated floating joint prevents side torque from reaching the rods. This is the basic cushion version, with bumpers at both ends.
It is a genuine AirTAC part and the position-detecting magnet is fitted as standard - magnetic-switch slots on the body take CMSH, DMSH and EMSH switches. The verified thrust, overall dimensions and allowable load and moment figures for this exact bore and stroke appear in the datasheet table on this page; we will confirm any of 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
Choose the 20 mm bore of the HLSL series when you need more push than the 6, 8, 12 or 16 mm bores provide - the thrust at working pressure is listed in the spec table for this model. Within the HL family, HLSL is the high-precision, high-rigidity choice thanks to its cross-roller guide; pick HLQL for an anti-rust, dust-proof ball-bearing guide, HLF for a low-height body, or HLH for the finest straightness on small bores. The 40 mm stroke must correspond to an entry in the 20 mm bore stroke table, which it does.
This code has no adjuster letter, so it is the basic version with bumpers; if your cycle stops hard at the ends, the same size is available with adjustable rubber stoppers (A), shock absorbers both ends (B) or a shock absorber on one side (AS/BS/AF/BF). Ports are 1/8" and the blank thread code means PT, with G and NPT variants offered. For load and moment sizing, always work from the published tables and deflection curves - send us your payload and we will confirm.
Applications
Small-parts transfer
Slides small components between an escapement and an assembly nest; the cross-roller guide holds lateral position so parts land accurately in the nest.
Precision dispensing slide
Carries a micro-dispense head across a 40 mm pass; low table deflection keeps the needle-to-part gap consistent stroke after stroke.
Stopper and eject positioning
Acts as a precise extend-retract stop or ejector on a conveyor line, with the symmetrical body simplifying flush mounting in the frame.
FAQ
Is the magnet on the HLSL20X40S an option I have to order?
No. Every cylinder in the HLSL series is supplied with the position-detecting magnet fitted as standard, so the S in the code is always present and not something you can decline. The body has magnetic-switch slots ready for AirTAC CMSH, DMSH or EMSH reed or solid-state switches, so you can add position sensing at any time.
How do I size the load and check the pressure limits for this slide table?
Operating pressure for the 20 mm bore is 0.15 to 0.7 MPa (the series maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa) with speed from 50 to 500 mm/s using meter-out control. For payloads, do not guess: allowable load, moment and kinetic energy are published as tables and deflection curves in the datasheet. Send us your workpiece mass, offset and speed and we will confirm the values for the HLSL20X40S.
