Airtac HLQ Dual-Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQ12X100SA
The AirTAC Airtac HLQ Dual-Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQ12X100SA 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 HLQ12X100SA
The HLQ12X100SA is a double-acting, dual-rod slide table cylinder with a 12 mm bore and 100 mm stroke, built around an integrated ball-bearing linear guide. The guide keeps the table travelling straight with low deflection, and its ball-bearing construction offers anti-rust, dust-proof operation for cleaner or humid environments. The dual-rod design doubles the thrust on the table, while a floating joint spares the rod from side torque so the cylinder is not loaded by misalignment in your fixture.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with a position magnet fitted as standard, so external magnetic switches (CMSH, DMSH or EMSH) can be read directly from the slots on the body. Adjustable rubber stoppers are built into both ends to cushion the travel. Exact thrust, dimensions and allowable load/moment figures for this model are in the on-page spec table and datasheet - we will 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 12 gives moderate thrust; if your application needs more push at the same pressure, step up to a 16, 20 or 25 mm bore in the same series. Choose HLQ when you want an anti-rust, dust-proof ball-bearing guide rather than the higher rigidity of the HLS cross-roller table or the low-height HLF body. The 100 mm stroke must sit within the published stroke table for this bore, so verify it against the datasheet.
The A suffix here means adjustable rubber stoppers at both ends; AS or AF variants cushion only the extension or retraction side if one-directional cushioning suits your cycle. This model carries PT threads. For sizing against allowable load and moment limits, which AirTAC publishes as tables and curves, contact us and we will check your application.
Applications
Pick-and-place transfer
Moves small parts between stations with the ball-bearing guide holding the table square so the gripped part stays aligned at each drop-off.
Gripper traverse
Traverses a gripper across a 100 mm span; the magnet and CMSH/DMSH/EMSH switches signal end positions for cycle control.
Small-parts assembly stage
Positions components at an assembly station, with the adjustable rubber stoppers at both ends settling the table gently at each end of travel.
FAQ
What does the A in HLQ12X100SA mean?
It indicates adjustable rubber stoppers at both ends of the stroke. If you only need cushioning in one direction, the AS variant covers the extension side and the AF variant the retraction side; the basic HLQ12X100S has neither.
What air pressure can I run this cylinder at?
Bore 12 units operate from 0.15 to 0.7 MPa (22-100 psi) on air filtered to 40 um; the maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa 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 limits from the datasheet before finalising the fixture.
