Airtac HLQ Dual-Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQ12X100S
The AirTAC Airtac HLQ Dual-Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQ12X100S is a genuine HLQ slide-table cylinder, 12 mm bore: a double-acting dual-rod air cylinder integrated with a ball-bearing guide so the table travels straight with high rigidity and low deflection. It delivers about 85 N of push at 0.5 MPa. A floating joint spares the rod from side torque; the magnet is fitted as standard.

About the Airtac HLQ Dual-Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQ12X100S
The HLQ12X100S is a double-acting, dual-rod slide table cylinder that integrates an air cylinder with a ball-bearing linear guide, so the table travels in a straight line instead of following the rod. At bore 12 with a 100 mm stroke it delivers moderate thrust suited to light and medium handling duties, the dual-rod layout doubles the effective push, and the integrated floating joint spares the rod from side torque applied by the workpiece. The ball-bearing guide is the anti-rust, dust-proof choice of the HLQ family, keeping guided motion smooth where splash or fine particles would trouble a plain slide.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with the position magnet fitted as standard, so CMSH, DMSH or EMSH sensor switches can be clipped into the magnetic-switch slots on the body without any modification. Running on air filtered to 40 um, it accepts 0.15-0.7 MPa (22-100 psi) at this bore, handles proof pressure to 1.2 MPa (175 psi) and works from -20 to 70 C at 50-500 mm/s. The exact thrust, dimensions and allowable load and moment figures for HLQ12X100S are shown in the on-page spec table and datasheet, and we confirm them from the datasheet 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 12 gives moderate push for its size; if the load needs more force, step up to bore 16, 20 or 25 within the same HLQ range, since a bigger bore moves proportionally more air area. Choose HLQ when anti-rust, dust-proof ball-bearing guidance is the priority, and HLS when maximum precision and rigidity from a cross-roller guide matters more. A 100 mm stroke is within the published bore-12 stroke table; longer and shorter strokes are listed in the same table. This model has the basic bumper cushion with no adjuster code, while adjustable rubber-stopper (A) and shock-absorber (B) end settings are available on HLQ and HLS if you need to tune deceleration. The port thread is PT as standard, with G and NPT (T) variants in the table. For allowable load, moment and kinetic energy sizing, published tables and curves apply, and we confirm them from the datasheet with you.
Applications
Small-parts transfer slide
Shuttles small components between stations over the 100 mm stroke; the ball-bearing guide keeps the travel straight and the dust-proof rail tolerates light debris around the cell.
Gripper traverse
Carries a compact gripper to the pick point; the dual-rod table resists twist from the gripped part and the floating joint absorbs side torque from the tooling.
Precision stopper station
Used as a positive stop on a conveyor line for pallets or carriers; magnet switches CMSH, DMSH or EMSH confirm the extended and retracted stop positions.
FAQ
What does the S in HLQ12X100S mean, and do I need to order a magnet separately?
S marks the magnet-fitted version, and on the HLQ slide table series the magnet is standard on every model, so it is not an option you can decline. The magnetic-switch slots on the body accept CMSH, DMSH and EMSH sensor switches, which you order separately if position feedback is needed.
What pressure and speed limits apply to this bore-12 slide table?
Bore 12 operates at 0.15-0.7 MPa (22-100 psi); 0.7 MPa is the maximum working pressure, and proof pressure is 1.2 MPa. Control speed with a meter-out circuit within the 50-500 mm/s range, and confirm allowable load and moment values from the published datasheet table before sizing the payload.
