Airtac HLQ Dual-Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQ20X125S
The AirTAC Airtac HLQ Dual-Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQ20X125S 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 HLQ20X125S
The AirTAC HLQ20X125S is a double-acting dual-rod slide-table cylinder combining an air cylinder with a ball-bearing linear guide in an anti-rust, dust-proof body. The 20 mm bore pairs with a 125 mm stroke for longer travel while maintaining guided precision. The dual-rod construction doubles thrust in both directions, and a floating joint prevents side torque from loading the rod. The double-rail ball-bearing guide on this bore size delivers stable, low-deflection motion over the full stroke.
This genuine AirTAC part includes a standard magnet for position detection. Sensor switches from the CMSH, DMSH, and EMSH series fit the magnetic-switch slots machined into the cylinder body. The basic cushion uses bumpers at both ends. We verify thrust, dimensions, allowable load, and moment values from the manufacturer 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
The 20 mm bore provides moderate thrust suitable for medium-duty guided slides; stepping up a bore size increases push force. The HLQ ball-bearing sub-family is the right pick when anti-rust and dust-proof operation are required, distinguishing it from the cross-roller HLS and the low-height HLF. A 125 mm stroke is within the bore 20 range, but always confirm the exact stroke limits in the datasheet. This model has basic bumper cushioning with no adjustable stopper or shock absorber. Thread standard is PT; G or NPT can be specified on order. Load, moment, and deflection sizing should reference the published tables and curves, which we provide on request.
Applications
Long-Stroke Part Transfer
Moves components across a 125 mm guided path between stations, relying on the ball-bearing rail to keep travel straight over the longer stroke.
Sorting Diverter
Pushes items onto a branch lane in a sortation line, where the anti-rust and dust-proof guide suits humid or particulate-rich environments.
Test Fixture Slide
Carries a sensor or probe along a measured 125 mm traverse for product inspection, using the dual rod for stable thrust in both directions.
FAQ
How does the HLQ ball-bearing guide differ from the HLS cross-roller guide?
The HLQ uses ball-bearing rails, making it anti-rust and dust-proof, which suits cleaner or more corrosive environments. The HLS uses cross-roller guides for the highest rigidity and load capacity. Both are double-acting dual-rod slide tables, but the guide type should match your precision and environmental needs.
What cushioning does the HLQ20X125S have?
This model has basic bumper cushioning at both ends with no adjustable rubber stopper or shock absorber. If your application runs at higher speeds and needs controlled deceleration, consider a version with A, B, AS, or BS adjuster code. We can help select the right cushion option.
