Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL20X50S
The AirTAC Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL20X50S 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 HLSL20X50S
The HLSL20X50S is a symmetrical cross-roller slide table cylinder combining a double-acting dual-rod air cylinder with an integrated cross-roller linear guide, so the table travels straight with high rigidity and low deflection over its 50 mm stroke. Mounting faces on both sides of the symmetrical body simplify fixturing, the dual rods double the thrust of a single-rod cylinder of this bore, and the floating joint isolates the rods from side torque applied by your tooling. This is the basic cushion version: standard bumpers at both ends, with no adjuster fitted.
The part is a genuine AirTAC cylinder with the position magnet fitted as standard - never an add-on - so CMSH, DMSH and EMSH switches slot into the body for position sensing. Exact thrust, overall dimensions and allowable load and moment data for bore 20 at 50 mm stroke are published in the datasheet and the on-page specification table, and we walk you through 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
At bore 20, this model gives more push than the 6, 8, 12 and 16 mm members of the series at the same supply pressure - enough for typical small-part payloads without oversizing the air supply. Stay with HLSL when precision and rigidity drive the choice; move to HLQ for an anti-rust, dust-proof ball-bearing guide, to HLH for a miniature precision guide, or to HLF where installation height is limited. This unit is the basic version with bumpers only; if your cycle slams into end of stroke, order an A (rubber stopper), B (absorbers both ends), AS/BS (absorber extension side) or AF/BF (absorber retraction side) variant instead. The thread is PT with G and NPT alternatives. Allowable load, moment and deflection are confirmed from the published tables and curves - share your application and we verify the fit.
Applications
Multi-part tray indexing
The symmetrical table shuttles a multi-cavity tray or fixture plate between two work positions across the 50 mm stroke, with the cross-roller guide keeping cavity alignment tight for every part.
Small-parts insertion
A press or insertion nose mounted on the symmetrical table seats pins or bushings in plastic housings; the dual-rod thrust and low-deflection guide keep the tooling square to the part, and the floating joint absorbs fixture misalignment.
Adjustable station spacing
Used as a fine-adjust slide on an automated assembly line, the 50 mm stroke sets the gap between stations, with standard-magnet position feedback from CMSH, DMSH or EMSH switches confirming the set point.
FAQ
Why is there no cushion option code in HLSL20X50S, and should I add one?
The blank adjuster position means this is the basic version with standard bumpers at both ends. If your cycle runs fast and hits end of stroke hard, order the A variant for adjustable rubber stoppers, B for shock absorbers both ends, or AS/BS and AF/BF for a single-side absorber - all available on bore 20.
How much load can I hang on this slide table?
Load, moment and kinetic energy limits are published per bore and stroke in the datasheet as tables and deflection curves, and we confirm the exact figures for your mounting arrangement on request - they depend on where the load sits relative to the table center. For reference, this model runs at 0.15 to 0.7 MPa (22 to 100 psi), maxing out at 0.7 MPa working pressure.
