Airtac HLQ Dual-Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQ20X30SAF
The AirTAC Airtac HLQ Dual-Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQ20X30SAF 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 HLQ20X30SAF
The AirTAC HLQ20X30SAF is a double-acting dual-rod slide-table cylinder with an integrated ball-bearing linear guide. At bore 20 and stroke 30, the ball-bearing guide provides smooth, precise travel with anti-rust and dust-proof properties suited to clean or mildly corrosive environments. The dual rod doubles thrust while a floating joint spares the rods from side torque, so the table stays aligned under load.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with a standard magnet for position sensing. Compatible sensor switches include CMSH, DMSH, and EMSH series, which mount in the magnetic-switch slots on the body. We confirm thrust, dimensions, and allowable load-moment values from the 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 provides higher thrust than smaller bores in the HLQ range; choose it when the application needs more push than a 12 or 16 mm bore can deliver. The ball-bearing guide suits environments where rust resistance and dust protection matter more than the absolute rigidity of a cross-roller guide. Stroke 30 mm is within the standard range for this bore. This model carries an adjustable rubber stopper on the retraction side (AF) for controlled end-of-stroke deceleration. Thread is PT as standard; request G or NPT if your fittings require a different standard. For allowable load, moment, and kinetic-energy limits, we reference the published Wmax, Emax, and moment tables.
Applications
Pick-and-Place Head
Mount a small vacuum nozzle or gripper to pick components and place them with ball-guide precision over a 30 mm stroke.
Inline Transfer
Shift small parts laterally between two conveyor lanes with smooth low-friction ball-bearing travel.
Assembly Station Stop
Use the retraction-side rubber stopper to arrest the table softly at the home position between assembly cycles.
FAQ
What does the AF adjuster code mean on this HLQ slide table?
AF indicates an adjustable rubber stopper fitted on the retraction (return) side only. It lets you fine-tune the deceleration at the retraction end of stroke. The extension side uses the standard bumper cushion.
What is the maximum operating pressure for the HLQ20?
Maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa (100 psi). Operating range for bore 20 is 0.15-0.7 MPa (22-100 psi). Do not exceed 0.7 MPa. Proof pressure is 1.2 MPa (175 psi) for validation only.
