Airtac HLQ Dual-Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQ20X10SBS
The AirTAC Airtac HLQ Dual-Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQ20X10SBS 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 HLQ20X10SBS
The AirTAC HLQ20X10SBS is a double-acting dual-rod slide-table cylinder that integrates an air cylinder with a ball-bearing linear guide. The 20 mm bore and 10 mm stroke deliver moderate thrust over a short travel range, while the ball-bearing guide provides smooth, precise linear motion with anti-rust and dust-proof characteristics. A floating joint protects the rod from side torque, and the dual-rod design doubles the thrust for push and pull operations.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with a standard magnet for position sensing. Compatible sensor switches include CMSH, DMSH, and EMSH series, which mount in the magnetic-switch slots on the body. The BS adjuster provides a shock absorber on the extension side for controlled end-of-stroke deceleration. We confirm exact thrust values, dimensions, and load-moment data 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.
How to choose
Choose the 20 mm bore when your application needs moderate thrust from a compact slide table; a larger bore gives more push without changing the footprint class. The HLQ ball-bearing guide suits environments where anti-rust protection and dust-proof operation matter, making it a practical alternative to the cross-roller HLS when corrosion resistance is the priority. Stroke must stay within the bore 20 stroke range listed in the datasheet. The BS adjuster adds a shock absorber at the extension end for smoother stopping at higher speeds. Thread is PT (parallel) as standard; contact us for G or NPT options. We route load, moment, and deflection sizing to the published tables and curves.
Applications
Pick-and-Place Head
Guides a small gripper on precise lateral placement moves where the ball-bearing rail keeps deflection low over repeated cycles.
Part Transfer Stop
Acts as a guided pusher at a conveyor station, using the shock absorber on the extension side to cushion end-of-stroke impact.
Assembly Stage Index
Positions a workpiece or tooling plate on a short 10 mm stroke with repeatable straightness for an assembly or test station.
FAQ
What does the BS adjuster code mean on the HLQ20X10SBS?
BS indicates a shock absorber fitted on the extension side. This cushions the moving table as it reaches the extended end of the 10 mm stroke, reducing impact at higher travel speeds. The retraction side uses the standard bumper.
What is the maximum operating pressure for this 20 mm bore slide table?
The maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa (100 psi). The operating range for a 20 mm bore is 0.15-0.7 MPa (22-100 psi). Never exceed 0.7 MPa; the 1.2 MPa figure is proof pressure only.
