The AirTAC Airtac HLQ Dual-Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQ12X30SB 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.
The AirTAC HLQ12X30SB is a double-acting dual-rod slide-table cylinder that pairs an air cylinder with a ball-bearing linear guide. At a 12 mm bore and 30 mm stroke, it provides moderate thrust for compact guided motion. The dual rods double the force output, and a floating joint protects the rods from side torque so the moving table travels straight. The HLQ ball-bearing guide is anti-rust and dust-proof, ideal for clean environments.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with a standard magnet for position sensing. Compatible sensor switches are CMSH, DMSH, and EMSH, which seat in the magnetic-switch slots on the body. We confirm thrust, dimensions, and allowable load/moment from the 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.
The 12 mm bore suits compact jobs needing moderate push; choose a larger bore for more thrust or a smaller bore when space is tight. The HLQ ball-bearing guide provides anti-rust, dust-proof operation -- choose it over the HLS cross-roller guide when corrosion resistance matters more than maximum rigidity. The 30 mm stroke must fall within the bore 12 datasheet stroke range. Adjuster code B adds shock absorbers on both ends for smooth stops; B-type adjusters are not available on bore 6. Thread is standard PT; order G or T suffix for BSPP or NPT ports. We confirm load, moment, and deflection from the published tables and curves on request.
Traverses a small gripper between pick and place positions with ball-bearing precision and dual-rod thrust, shock-absorber cushioning on both ends protecting delicate parts.
Shifts small electronic components across a dust-protected conveyor lane where the anti-rust ball-bearing guide maintains accuracy over many cycles.
Positions a workpiece at an assembly stage with repeatable straightness; the dual rods and floating joint keep the table true under side loads.
Code B means shock absorbers are installed on both ends for smooth end-of-stroke deceleration in both directions. B-type adjusters are available on bore 8 and larger but not on bore 6. Other adjuster options include A (rubber stopper both ends), AS/AF (one-side rubber), or BS/BF (one-side shock absorber).
The maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa (100 psi). Bore 12 operates from 0.15-0.7 MPa (22-100 psi). Keep speed at or below 500 mm/s using meter-out flow control for best service life.
