Airtac HLQ Dual-Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQ12X10SBS
The AirTAC Airtac HLQ Dual-Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQ12X10SBS 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 HLQ12X10SBS
The AirTAC HLQ12X10SBS is a double-acting dual-rod slide-table cylinder that integrates an air cylinder with a ball-bearing linear guide, so the moving table travels straight with minimal deflection. The dual rod doubles the thrust compared to a single-rod design, and a floating joint spares the rod from side torque. At a 12 mm bore and 10 mm stroke this unit delivers moderate thrust in a compact footprint, and the ball-bearing guide offers anti-rust, dust-proof operation suited to clean or washdown-adjacent environments.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with a standard magnet fitted for position sensing using CMSH, DMSH, or EMSH switches in the body slots. We confirm the exact thrust, dimensions, allowable load, and moment values from the AirTAC datasheet or the on-page spec table on request, so you size with verified data rather than estimates.

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
A 12 mm bore gives moderate thrust for small-parts handling; step up to a larger bore if you need more push force. The HLQ ball-bearing guide is chosen when anti-rust and dust-proof operation matter more than the highest rigidity a cross-roller (HLS) provides. The 10 mm stroke must fall within the bore 12 stroke range listed in the datasheet. The BS adjuster code means shock absorbers are fitted at both the extension and retraction sides for smooth end-of-stroke deceleration. The thread is standard PT. Route allowable load and moment sizing to us, as these are published as tables and deflection curves in the datasheet.
Applications
Small-Parts Transfer
Moves lightweight components laterally between stations on an assembly line with the dust-proof ball-bearing guide keeping travel precise in mildly contaminated air.
Pick-and-Place Head
Carries a gripper that picks and places small electronic parts, where the 10 mm short stroke and shock-absorber cushioning settle the load cleanly at end positions.
Gripper Traverse
Indexes a gripper across a conveyor to divert or stop small items, using the dual-rod slide for stable straight-line motion without rod side-load.
FAQ
What does the BS adjuster code mean on the HLQ12X10SBS?
BS indicates shock absorbers on both ends - extension and retraction sides - for smooth deceleration at end of stroke. Shock-absorber options (B, BS, BF) are available on bore 12 and larger; they are not offered on bore 6.
What is the maximum operating pressure for this cylinder?
The maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa (100 psi). For a 12 mm bore the operating range is 0.15 to 0.7 MPa (22 to 100 psi). Meter-out speed control should keep travel speed within 50 to 500 mm/s.
