Airtac HLQ Dual-Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQ20X30S
The AirTAC Airtac HLQ Dual-Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQ20X30S 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 HLQ20X30S
The HLQ20X30S is a genuine AirTAC double-acting dual-rod slide-table cylinder pairing a pneumatic cylinder with a precision ball-bearing linear guide. The ball-bearing construction gives smooth, low-friction straight travel with anti-rust and dust-proof properties, ideal for environments where cleanliness or mild corrosion resistance matters. A floating joint prevents side torque on the rods, and the dual-rod layout doubles the thrust in a compact bore 20 package with a 30 mm stroke.
This model includes a standard magnet for position detection with CMSH, DMSH, or EMSH sensor switches in the body slots. As a basic version it has no add-on adjuster, relying on the built-in rubber bumper for end-of-stroke cushioning. We verify all thrust, dimensional, and load-moment data against 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 is in the HLQ double-rail range and provides higher thrust than bore 6 or 8 while keeping the footprint compact. Select HLQ for ball-bearing smoothness with anti-rust and dust-proof operation; choose HLS for cross-roller rigidity and load capacity, HLH for miniature roller-ball precision with three port groups, or HLF for a reduced-height cross-roller body.
The 30 mm stroke is within the bore 20 stroke table. This basic version uses the standard bumper cushioning at both ends; if you need adjustable rubber stoppers or shock absorbers, look at the A or B adjuster variants. Thread is PT as standard; G or NPT are available on request. We can help you size allowable load and moment from the published tables and deflection curves.
Applications
Gripper Traverse
Traverses a small gripper laterally between two pick points with the smooth ball-bearing guide keeping repeatability tight across the 30 mm stroke.
Small-Parts Sorter Gate
Acts as a diverter gate for small sorted parts on a belt, where the dust-proof guide maintains clean travel in a packaging or fulfillment cell.
Pin Insertion Stage
Positions a pin-feeding shuttle under an insertion head, using dual-rod thrust and bumper cushioning for a repeatable 30 mm indexing move.
FAQ
Does this HLQ20X30S come with a magnet for sensing?
Yes. The S in the model code means a magnet is fitted as standard on the entire HLQ line. CMSH, DMSH, and EMSH series sensor switches slot into the body for position detection; the magnet is not an option you decline.
How do I confirm allowable load and moment for this model?
Allowable load, moment, and kinetic-energy limits are published in the AirTAC datasheet as tables and deflection curves. We confirm those values for your specific application on request so you can size the slide table correctly.
