Airtac HLQ Dual-Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQ20X100SBF
The AirTAC Airtac HLQ Dual-Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQ20X100SBF is a genuine HLQ slide-table cylinder, 20 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 236 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 HLQ20X100SBF
The AirTAC HLQ20X100SBF is a double-acting dual-rod slide-table cylinder that integrates an air cylinder with a ball-bearing linear guide for straight, low-deflection table travel. The HLQ sub-family offers anti-rust, dust-proof ball-bearing guidance, and bore 20 uses a double-rail configuration for stable support over the 100 mm stroke. The dual-rod design doubles thrust output relative to a single-rod cylinder, and a floating joint prevents side torque from reaching the rod seals. This model carries a shock absorber on the retraction side for controlled deceleration when the table retracts under load.
This is a genuine AirTAC component with a standard magnet fitted for position detection. CMSH, DMSH, and EMSH sensor switches seat in the body slots for reliable switching. We supply verified thrust figures, dimensions, allowable load, and moment values from the AirTAC 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
Bore 20 produces higher thrust than smaller HLQ bores; refer to the on-page thrust table to confirm it meets your push and pull requirements. The HLQ ball-bearing guide is selected when anti-rust and dust-proof operation are priorities and cross-roller rigidity is not required. Stroke 100 mm is within the standard range for bore 20. The BF adjuster places a shock absorber on the retraction side only; the extension end uses the standard bumper. Choose B for shock absorbers on both ends, BS for extension-side shock absorption, or AS/AF for adjustable rubber stoppers on a single end. Thread is PT by default; use the G or T suffix for BSPP or NPT. We verify allowable load and moment from AirTAC published tables and deflection curves for your sizing.
Applications
Retract-Cushioned Pick-and-Place
Picks a component and retracts 100 mm with a shock absorber cushioning the retraction stroke where the heaviest load and highest speed occur.
Dust-Proof Transfer Slide
Transfers parts between conveyor stations using anti-rust, dust-proof ball-bearing guidance suitable for environments with airborne particulates.
Single-Side Shock Assembly Stage
Indexes an assembly worktable that retracts under spring or gravity load, with the retraction-side shock absorber preventing hard impact at the home position.
FAQ
What does the BF adjuster code mean on the HLQ20X100SBF?
BF means a shock absorber is installed on the retraction side only. The extension side uses the standard bumper cushion. This suits applications where the retraction stroke carries the higher kinetic energy. For shock absorption on both ends, specify B; for extension side only, specify BS.
How do I confirm allowable load and moment for this model?
AirTAC publishes allowable load, allowable moment, and table deflection as tables and curves specific to the HLQ bore and guide configuration. We confirm these values from the datasheet for your application on request, so you can size the slide correctly.
