Airtac HLQ Dual-Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQ20X150SBF
The AirTAC Airtac HLQ Dual-Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQ20X150SBF 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 HLQ20X150SBF
A slide-table cylinder combines an air cylinder and a linear guide so the table moves in a straight line without rotating. The HLQ20X150SBF features AirTAC's ball-bearing guide with double rails at bore 20, providing anti-rust and dust-proof performance for clean or washdown environments. Dual rods double the thrust in a double-acting layout, and a floating joint isolates the rods from side load so the guide maintains accuracy.
This is a genuine AirTAC component with a standard magnet fitted for position detection; CMSH, DMSH, and EMSH sensor switches are compatible. We confirm thrust, 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
Bore 20 delivers higher thrust than smaller HLQ bores; refer to the datasheet table for the exact push and pull force rather than estimating from piston area. The HLQ ball-bearing guide is chosen for anti-rust and dust-proof duty; HLS cross-roller gives more rigidity, HLH miniature roller-ball offers best straightness with three port groups, and HLF provides a low-height cross-roller body. Stroke 150 mm falls within the bore 20 range; port is 1/8". The BF adjuster places a shock absorber on the retraction side only, ideal when the return stroke carries more kinetic energy. Thread is PT; request G or NPT if needed. Allowable load and moment are published as tables and curves - contact us for sizing.
Applications
Vertical Gripper Traverse
Guides a gripper through a 150 mm vertical or horizontal path with ball-bearing precision and dust-proof protection for cleanroom pick tasks.
Component Insertion Stage
Positions a part for insertion at an assembly station, using the retraction-side shock absorber to cushion the return stroke.
Indexing Shuttle Slide
Shuttles a workpiece carrier between indexed stations with repeatable straight-line travel on double-rail ball guides.
FAQ
What does the BF adjuster code mean on the HLQ20X150SBF?
BF indicates a shock absorber fitted on the retraction side only. This suits applications where the return stroke carries higher kinetic energy. The extension side retains the standard rubber bumper.
How fast can the HLQ20 slide table operate?
Speed range is 50-500 mm/s with meter-out speed control. Maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa (100 psi), with an operating range of 0.15-0.7 MPa (22-100 psi) for bore 20. Confirm allowable load and moment from the datasheet.
