Airtac HLQ Dual-Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQ12X40SAF
The AirTAC Airtac HLQ Dual-Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQ12X40SAF 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 HLQ12X40SAF
The HLQ12X40SAF is an AirTAC ball-bearing slide-table cylinder with a 12 mm bore and 40 mm stroke. The integrated ball-bearing guide delivers dust-proof, anti-rust straight-line travel with low deflection, while the dual-rod design doubles thrust and a floating joint protects the rods from side torque. An adjustable rubber stopper on the retraction side lets you set the pulled-in position precisely.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. A magnet is standard for position sensing, and CMSH, DMSH or EMSH switches mount in the body slots. We confirm exact thrust, dimensions, load and moment ratings from the datasheet or on-page specification 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
Select the 12 mm bore for moderate thrust; a larger bore adds push and the on-page thrust table shows the exact figure. The HLQ ball-bearing guide suits anti-rust, dust-proof environments. Model HLQ12X40SAF provides an adjustable rubber stopper on the retraction side only, so you can dial in the home position precisely without affecting the extended stop. Stroke stays within the bore's published range; standard thread is PT. We confirm allowable load, moment and deflection from the published tables and curves on request.
Applications
Pick-and-Place Head
Mounts a gripper for precise component transfer with a dialed-in retraction stop position.
Stopper Mechanism
Acts as a precise retract-side stop for indexing small parts on a feed rail.
Sensor Positioning Slide
Moves a sensor head to a repeatable home position using the retraction-side rubber stopper.
FAQ
What does the AF adjuster code mean on HLQ12X40SAF?
AF means an adjustable rubber stopper on the retraction (home) side only. The extension side uses the standard bumper cushion. This lets you dial in the pulled-in position precisely without changing the extended stop.
Is a magnet included with this cylinder?
Yes, a magnet is standard on every HLQ slide-table cylinder. CMSH, DMSH and EMSH sensor switches fit the magnetic-switch slots on the body for position detection.
