Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL8X20SBS
The AirTAC Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL8X20SBS is a genuine HLS slide-table cylinder, 8 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 38 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 HLSL8X20SBS
The HLSL8X20SBS is a symmetrical cross-roller slide table cylinder with a 8 mm bore and 20 mm stroke. An AirTAC HL-series slide table combines the cylinder and a linear guide in a single body, so the table moves in a straight line instead of rotating like a standard cylinder. Cross rollers give this sub-family the highest precision and rigidity in the HL range, with low deflection for accurate guided motion, and the symmetrical body allows workpiece mounting on either side. The dual-rod layout doubles the thrust relative to a single-rod cylinder, and the floating joint keeps side torque away from the rod.
This is a genuine AirTAC part, magnet-fitted as standard, with magnetic-switch slots on the body accepting CMSH, DMSH, or EMSH sensor switches. The SBS suffix fits a shock absorber on the extension side. Exact thrust, dimensions, and load-moment values for this model are in the on-page spec table or the datasheet, and 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 8 gives light thrust for small payloads; the same HLSL family goes up to bore 25 when the job needs more push. Prefer the HLSL cross-roller guide where precision and rigidity matter most; pick HLQ for anti-rust, dust-proof ball-bearing duty, HLH for miniature roller-ball straightness, or HLF where reduced height matters. Verify the 20 mm stroke appears in the bore 8 stroke table and select the thread: blank for PT, G for G, T for NPT. If the extension-side impact is the concern, SBS with its shock absorber is the right choice; B covers both ends and A gives adjustable rubber stoppers. Load and moment sizing is published as tables and curves, so route final sizing to us.
Applications
Assembly stage feed
The cross-roller table advances a small fixture into an assembly position, with the extension-side shock absorber cushioning the approach before the press or driver cycles.
Pick-and-place with end-position damping
A gripper or suction cup mounted on the symmetrical table picks small parts across a 20 mm slide, and the shock absorber on the extension side softens the pick-point arrival.
Indexing shuttle between stations
The table shuttles a light carrier between two stations in a compact automation cell, with CMSH/DMSH/EMSH switches confirming each end position.
FAQ
How do I choose between SBS, SBF, and SB on an HLSL model?
The letter after S decodes the shock absorber position: BS is the extension side, BF is the retraction side, and B alone means shock absorbers on both ends. All three are available in bore 8. If you only need gentler stops without dampers, choose A for adjustable rubber stoppers or the blank basic version.
How should the HLSL8X20SBS be speed-controlled and pressurised?
Operate between 0.2 and 0.7 MPa (29-100 psi); the maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa and proof pressure is 1.2 MPa (175 psi). Keep speed in the 50-500 mm/s range, usually set with meter-out flow controls, and supply air filtered to 40 um.
