Airtac HLQ Dual-Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQ12X10SAF
The AirTAC Airtac HLQ Dual-Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQ12X10SAF 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 HLQ12X10SAF
The HLQ12X10SAF is a genuine AirTAC double-acting dual-rod slide-table cylinder with a ball-bearing linear guide, bore 12 mm and 10 mm stroke. The ball-bearing guide ensures smooth, precise straight-line travel with anti-rust and dust-proof benefits, while the dual rod increases thrust and a floating joint isolates the rod from side torque. An adjustable rubber stopper is fitted on the retraction side for controlled end positioning at the home stroke.
A standard magnet is fitted for position detection with CMSH, DMSH or EMSH switches in the body slots. We confirm thrust, dimensions, allowable load and moment figures from the AirTAC datasheet or on-page spec table 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 delivers moderate thrust for compact guided-slide tasks. The ball-bearing guide is the right pick when anti-rust and dust-proof characteristics are required over the higher rigidity of the HLS cross-roller. The AF suffix means the adjustable rubber stopper is installed on the retraction side only, giving fine control at the home position while the extension end uses the standard bumper.
Ports use PT thread. For load, moment and kinetic-energy validation, we route sizing to the published Wmax, Emax and moment tables plus deflection curves in the datasheet.
Applications
Precision Return-to-Home
Returns a tooling head to a precisely adjusted home position with the retraction-side rubber stopper for repeatable placement.
Dust-Environment Transfer
Moves small workpieces between stations with anti-rust ball-bearing guidance suited to dusty or contaminated shop air.
Gripper Retract Stage
Retracts a small gripper to a controlled home stop before the next pick cycle in a compact automation cell.
FAQ
What does the AF suffix mean on the HLQ12X10SAF?
The AF suffix indicates an adjustable rubber stopper fitted on the retraction side only. This gives you fine-tuned stop-position control at the home (retracted) end, while the extension end uses the standard bumper cushion.
How fast can the HLQ12X10SAF travel?
The speed range is 50-500 mm/s, controlled with a meter-out flow control. The maximum operating pressure is 0.7 MPa, and the operating range for bore 12 is 0.15-0.7 MPa (22-100 psi).
