The AirTAC Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL25X20SBF is a genuine HLS slide-table cylinder, 25 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 378 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 HLSL25X20SBF is the symmetrical cross-roller slide table in a 25mm bore with a 20mm stroke. A double-acting dual-rod cylinder is built onto a cross-roller linear guide - the most precise and rigid guide in the HL family - so the table moves in a straight line with low deflection even when the load sits off centre. The dual rods roughly double the push compared with a single-rod cylinder of this bore, and an integrated floating joint keeps side torque from the workpiece off the moving assembly. The BF suffix means a shock absorber cushions the table on the retraction side only.
It is a genuine AirTAC part, and the magnet is fitted as standard rather than ordered as an option: magnetic-switch slots on the body accept CMSH, DMSH or EMSH switches. Verified thrust, dimensions and allowable load/moment values for this exact model are in the on-page spec table and datasheet - contact us and we will confirm them for your application.

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.
At 25mm bore this is the largest and strongest slide table in the HLSL cross-roller range, giving more available thrust than the 6-20mm bores, so pick it where the table must push, clamp or carry with real force. Keep the stroke within the published bore-25 table; 20mm gives a compact, short travel. When comparing guide families: HLSL is the precision cross-roller choice, HLQL the anti-rust ball-bearing choice, HLH the miniature roller-ball guide with the best straightness, and HLF the low-height option.
Adjuster choice matters: this BF version has a shock absorber on the retraction side only, matching stations where the table is pulled back at speed; use B for both ends or BS for extension side only. The thread is PT, with G and NPT alternatives. Allowable load, moment and kinetic energy are published as tables and curves - route your sizing to us and we will check the figures.
Carries a small parallel gripper sideways into position; the cross-roller guide resists grip-reaction torque and the retraction-side shock absorber settles the return stroke.
Extends to stop or square up parts on a fixture; the 25mm bore gives firm holding and the cross-roller table stays square under side loads.
Moves a sensor or tool head a short 20mm in a straight line, where low deflection of the cross-roller guide keeps repeatability tight.
No - the magnet is standard on every model in this series, including the BF version. Magnetic-switch slots are machined on the body for position detection, and the matching sensor switches are CMSH, DMSH or EMSH.
Do not rely on the bore or thrust alone: the allowable load, allowable moment and kinetic energy limits are published as tables and curves for this model in the datasheet. Send us your workpiece weight, offset and speed and we will confirm the figures against the datasheet before you order.
