Airtac HLQ Dual-Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQ20X20SBS
The AirTAC Airtac HLQ Dual-Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQ20X20SBS 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 HLQ20X20SBS
The HLQ20X20SBS is a genuine AirTAC double-acting dual-rod slide-table cylinder that integrates a pneumatic cylinder with a precision ball-bearing linear guide. The ball-bearing guide provides smooth straight travel with anti-rust and dust-proof characteristics, making it well suited to clean or mildly corrosive environments. A floating joint spares the rods from side torque, and the dual-rod design doubles the thrust for a compact bore 20 unit at a 20 mm stroke.
This model carries a standard magnet for position sensing with CMSH, DMSH, or EMSH switches fitted into the body slots. The BS adjuster code indicates a shock absorber on the extension side for controlled end-of-stroke deceleration. We confirm exact thrust, dimensions, and allowable load-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 sits in the double-rail range for HLQ (bores 12-25), offering higher thrust than the smaller bores for applications that need more push without a large footprint. Choose HLQ when you need ball-bearing smoothness, anti-rust resistance, and dust-proof operation; choose HLS for cross-roller rigidity, HLH for miniature roller-ball straightness with three port groups, or HLF for a low-height body.
The 20 mm stroke fits within the bore 20 stroke table. The BS adjuster adds a shock absorber on the extension side, which is useful when the moving mass is significant and you need softer stopping at full extension. Thread is PT as standard; request G or NPT if your fittings differ. Route load, moment, and kinetic-energy sizing to us so we can match your application to the published tables and deflection curves.
Applications
Pick-and-Place Head
Mounts a small gripper for precise vertical or horizontal pick-and-place of electronic components with low deflection at the end of travel.
Parts Transfer Stop
Transfers small workpieces between conveyor lanes where the dust-proof ball-bearing guide keeps travel clean and repeatable.
Assembly Stage Index
Indexes a sub-assembly pallet into position under a press or screwdriver station using the dual-rod thrust and shock-absorber extension stop.
FAQ
What does the BS adjuster code mean on this model?
BS indicates a shock absorber fitted on the extension side of the slide table. This provides controlled deceleration as the table reaches full extension, reducing impact when the moving mass is significant. A basic model with no adjuster uses a rubber bumper only.
What is the maximum operating pressure for the HLQ20 bore?
Bore 20 falls in the 12-25 range, so the operating pressure is 0.15-0.7 MPa (22-100 psi). The maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa; never exceed it. Meter-out speed control should keep travel between 50 and 500 mm/s.
