Airtac HLQ Dual-Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQ12X40SAS
The AirTAC Airtac HLQ Dual-Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQ12X40SAS 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 HLQ12X40SAS
The AirTAC HLQ12X40SAS is a double-acting dual-rod slide table cylinder that integrates an air cylinder with a ball-bearing linear guide. The 12 mm bore and 40 mm stroke deliver moderate thrust over a useful travel range, while the dual-rod design doubles the output force and the floating joint protects the rods from side torque. The HLQ ball-bearing guide is anti-rust and dust-proof, providing precise straight-line travel with low deflection.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with a standard magnet for position sensing; compatible sensor switches include CMSH, DMSH, and EMSH series. The AS adjuster provides an adjustable rubber stopper on the extension side. We confirm exact thrust values, dimensions, and load-moment ratings 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
A 12 mm bore offers moderate thrust suitable for small-to-medium guided motion tasks; stepping up to a larger bore increases push force without changing the guide type. The HLQ ball-bearing guide is the right choice when anti-rust and dust-proof operation matter more than the highest rigidity of a cross-roller guide (HLS) or the ultra-compact height of the HLF. Stroke length sits within the bore 12 standard range. The AS adjuster adds an adjustable rubber stopper on the extension side, and the standard PT thread ports match common fittings. We confirm allowable load, moment, and deflection curves from published AirTAC tables on request.
Applications
Small-Parts Pick-and-Place
Ball-bearing guide precision suits pick-and-place heads moving small electronic components between stations.
Part Transfer Stopper
The AS rubber stopper on the extension side provides a repeatable end position for indexing parts along a conveyor.
Assembly Stage Slide
Moderate thrust and 40 mm stroke position a sub-assembly fixture under a press or screwdriver head.
FAQ
What is the difference between the AS and A adjuster on the HLQ series?
The A adjuster places adjustable rubber stoppers at both ends, while AS places the adjustable rubber stopper only on the extension side. Choose AS when you need cushioning at the forward end but a standard stop at the return end.
What is the maximum operating pressure for the HLQ12X40SAS?
The maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa (100 psi). Operating pressure for the 12 mm bore ranges from 0.15 to 0.7 MPa (22-100 psi). Never exceed 0.7 MPa.
