Airtac HLQ Dual-Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQ12X100SAF
The AirTAC Airtac HLQ Dual-Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQ12X100SAF 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 HLQ12X100SAF
The HLQ12X100SAF is a double-acting, dual-rod slide table cylinder, 12 mm bore and 100 mm stroke, with an integrated ball-bearing linear guide. The ball-bearing guide keeps the table straight through its travel with low deflection and gives the series its anti-rust, dust-proof character, useful where corrosion or contamination would trouble an exposed guide. Two rods carry the table and double the available thrust, and a floating joint prevents side torque from your tooling reaching the rod.
A genuine AirTAC part, this model has the position magnet fitted as standard for use with CMSH, DMSH or EMSH magnetic switches in the body slots. The AF adjuster provides an adjustable rubber stopper on the retraction side only. Exact thrust, dimensions and allowable load/moment values for this bore and stroke are published in the on-page table and datasheet - we will supply 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
At bore 12 the cylinder delivers moderate thrust; pick a larger bore in the series when the application needs more push. HLQ is the right choice when anti-rust, dust-proof ball-bearing guiding matters more than the maximum rigidity of the HLS cross-roller table, and the low-profile HLF is not required. Confirm that 100 mm falls within the stroke table for this bore before ordering.
The AF suffix means the adjustable rubber stopper is fitted on the retraction side only - choose SA for both ends or AS for the extension side. Threads on this model are PT. Because allowable loads and moments are published as tables and deflection curves, route your load sizing to us and we will verify it against the datasheet.
Applications
Stopper positioning
Acts as a stopper or gate on a small-parts line; the retraction-side rubber stopper cushions the return into the retracted, clear position.
Parts shuttle
Shuttles parts a fixed 100 mm between an infeed nest and an outfeed chute, with the ball-bearing guide holding lateral alignment.
Indexing fixture advance
Advances a locating fixture into position; the magnet plus CMSH/DMSH/EMSH switches confirm retraction before the next cycle starts.
FAQ
How is HLQ12X100SAF different from HLQ12X100SA?
Both are bore 12, 100 mm stroke HLQ slide tables with the magnet fitted as standard. The AF version carries its adjustable rubber stopper on the retraction side only, while SA has rubber stoppers at both ends; if you also need cushioning on extension, choose the AS variant or the both-end SA.
Can the cylinder take side loads on the rods?
The guide carries the table, but the rods themselves are protected from side torque by using a floating joint at the workpiece connection. Keep operating pressure at or below 0.7 MPa, run meter-out speed within 50-500 mm/s, and check allowable load and moment figures in the datasheet against your fixture before committing.
