The AirTAC Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL20X75SAF 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.
The HLSL20X75SAF is the symmetrical cross-roller slide table cylinder with a shock absorber on the retraction side: an AirTAC double-acting, dual-rod cylinder with an integrated cross-roller guide for straight, rigid, low-deflection table travel. At bore 20 and 75 mm stroke it delivers moderate-to-higher thrust for its bore class, doubled by the dual rods, while the floating joint keeps side torque away from the rods. The retraction-side shock absorber decelerates the table smoothly on the return stroke when the load is moving fast or heavy.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with the magnet fitted as standard, so CMSH, DMSH or EMSH switches clamp into the body slots for end-position detection. We confirm exact thrust, dimensions and allowable load or moment figures from the datasheet or the on-page specification table 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.
Choose bore 20 when the load demands more push than the 6-16 mm bores in the HLSL family provide; thrust rises with bore, and the exact value is in the spec table rather than quoted here. Stroke 75 mm must be listed in the bore-20 stroke table. Against the plain S version, this AF version trades the fixed bumper on the retraction side for a shock absorber, ideal when the return stroke carries kinetic energy you would rather absorb than bounce; if both ends need it, see the SB version, and if only the extension side does, see the AS version.
Port thread is PT; G and NPT (T) threads are also offered. Because allowable load and moment are published as tables and curves, send us your payload and speed and we will confirm the sizing from the datasheet.
The retraction-side shock absorber gently decelerates the table as it pulls finished parts off a fixture and back to the load station.
Carries a gripper across the 75 mm stroke between stations; the absorber tames the return swing so the table settles without rebound.
The rigid cross-roller table positions tooling precisely, while the tunable retraction cushion suits cells that cycle frequently at speed.
The F in the adjuster code AF means the shock absorber is on the retraction side only. The extension-side option is AS, and the SB version fits shock absorbers at both ends. Adjustable rubber stoppers (A) are the lighter-duty alternative for both ends.
Speed is controlled between 50 and 500 mm/s, typically with meter-out flow controls, on filtered air (40 um). Working pressure for bore 20 is 0.15-0.7 MPa (22-100 psi); do not exceed 0.7 MPa, and note the shock absorber is there to absorb kinetic energy within the published limits.
