Airtac HLQ Dual-Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQ20X150S
The AirTAC Airtac HLQ Dual-Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQ20X150S 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 HLQ20X150S
The AirTAC HLQ20X150S is a double-acting dual-rod slide-table cylinder that combines an air cylinder with a ball-bearing linear guide. With a 20mm bore and 150mm stroke it provides moderate thrust across a long travel range. The dual rods double the thrust and the floating joint prevents side torque from loading the rods. The HLQ ball-bearing guide is anti-rust and dust-proof, making it a strong choice for environments where particulate or moisture exposure is expected.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with a standard magnet for position sensing. Compatible sensor switches include CMSH, DMSH, and EMSH series, fitting into the magnetic-switch slots on the body. We confirm exact thrust, dimensions, and load-moment specifications 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
The 20mm bore provides moderate thrust for applications requiring a long 150mm stroke. The HLQ ball-bearing guide offers anti-rust and dust-proof protection, distinguishing it from the cross-roller HLS which prioritizes maximum rigidity. This model has a basic cushion (bumper) with no adjustable stopper or shock absorber; if you need end-of-stroke cushioning, consider the A or B adjuster options instead. Confirm the 150mm stroke falls within the bore 20 range in the datasheet. Port threads are PT. Allowable load and moment values are published in tables and deflection curves which we can review with you.
Applications
Long-Stroke Pick-and-Place
Transfers parts across a wider machine envelope; the 150mm stroke reaches between two distant stations while the ball-bearing guide keeps deflection low over the full travel.
Workpiece Shuttle Slide
Shuttles a workpiece fixture between loading and machining positions. The dust-proof ball-bearing guide resists coolant mist and shop-floor debris.
Gripper Cross-Feed Traverse
Mounts a parallel gripper for lateral cross-feed of parts into a press or inspection cell, relying on dual-rod thrust and guided travel for repeatable positioning.
FAQ
Does this model include a shock absorber or adjustable stopper?
No. HLQ20X150S has a basic bumper cushion at both ends with no adjustable rubber stopper or shock absorber. If you need end-of-stroke deceleration, look for the A (rubber stopper), B (shock absorber), AS/BS (extension side), or AF/BF (retraction side) adjuster options.
How do I confirm the allowable load and moment for my application?
Allowable load, moment, and kinetic energy are published as Wmax/Emax/moment tables and deflection curves in the AirTAC datasheet. We can review these with you to ensure the 20mm bore and 150mm stroke meet your application's load requirements.
