Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL6X20SA
The AirTAC Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL6X20SA is a genuine HLS slide-table cylinder, 6 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 21 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 HLSL6X20SA
The AirTAC HLSL6X20SA is a double-acting, dual-rod slide table cylinder with an integrated symmetrical cross-roller guide. The cross-roller guide gives bore-6 travel high precision and rigidity with low deflection, and the symmetrical body accepts workpiece mounting from either side. Two pistons drive the table, so thrust is doubled compared with a single-rod cylinder of the same bore - a light, steady push suited to short, precise moves over the 20 mm stroke. A floating joint in the mounting means the rod takes no side torque, protecting the guide and seals.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with the position magnet fitted as standard, so CMSH, DMSH or EMSH sensor switches can be used in the magnetic-switch slots on the body. The A adjuster adds adjustable rubber stoppers at both stroke ends, combining end-position adjustment with cushioning. Exact thrust, overall dimensions and allowable load and moment figures for the HLSL6X20SA appear in the on-page spec table and datasheet; we confirm 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
Bore 6 is the lightest-thrust size in the HLSL range; if the move needs more push, step up to bore 8, 12 or 16 - a bigger bore means higher thrust at the same pressure. Choose the cross-roller HLSL guide when precision and rigidity matter most; pick HLQ for an anti-rust, dust-proof ball-bearing guide, HLH for a miniature roller-ball guide, or HLF when a low-height body is required. Stroke 20 mm sits within the bore-6 stroke table. The A adjuster here means adjustable rubber stoppers at both ends; the AS and AF variants cover the extension or retraction side only, and B-type shock absorbers are not offered on bore 6. Ports are M5x0.8 with PT threads as standard, or G and NPT via the thread code. We confirm allowable load and moment from the published tables and curves before you finalise sizing.
Applications
Small-parts assembly stage
Positions tiny components on an assembly fixture with a straight, low-deflection 20 mm guided stroke, the cross-roller guide holding alignment that a plain cylinder cannot.
Pick-and-place of small parts
Moves a compact gripper between pick and place points in electronic or laboratory assembly, with the floating joint absorbing mounting misalignment.
Gripper traverse on a compact head
Traverses a small gripper or sensor across a station in 20 mm increments, with adjustable rubber stoppers setting a repeatable end position.
FAQ
What does the A in the model code HLSL6X20SA mean?
It is the adjuster code. Blank means basic cushioning, A means adjustable rubber stoppers at both stroke ends, AF means the retraction side only and AS means the extension side only. B-type shock absorbers are not offered on bore 6. The S is not an option - the position magnet is fitted as standard on this whole series.
What pressure and speed can I run the HLSL6X20SA at?
The maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa and the bore-6 operating range is 0.2-0.7 MPa (29-100 psi); proof pressure is 1.2 MPa (175 psi). Run meter-out at 50-500 mm/s with air filtered to 40 um, at 20 to 70 C. Allowable load and moment must be taken from the published tables and deflection curves - contact us and we will confirm them for this model.
