Airtac HLQ Dual-Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQ20X30SB
The AirTAC Airtac HLQ Dual-Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQ20X30SB 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 HLQ20X30SB
The AirTAC HLQ20X30SB is a double-acting dual-rod slide-table cylinder that integrates an air cylinder with a ball-bearing linear guide. The bore 20 body with 30 mm stroke produces guided straight-line travel, and the dual rods multiply thrust compared to a single-rod design. Ball-bearing guidance provides anti-rust and dust-proof operation suitable for clean or washdown-adjacent environments. A floating joint isolates the rods from bending torque so the table moves without binding.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. A standard magnet is fitted for position detection, and sensor switches from the CMSH, DMSH, and EMSH families install in the body slots. We provide verified thrust, dimensions, and allowable load-moment data from the datasheet or on-page 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 offers higher thrust than smaller HLQ bores, making it the choice when the payload or friction load exceeds what 6-16 mm bores can handle. Choose the HLQ ball-bearing guide over HLS cross-roller when corrosion resistance and dust exclusion matter more than maximum rigidity. This model is fitted with shock absorbers on both ends (B code), which absorb kinetic energy at stroke ends for heavier or faster-moving loads. Thread is PT as standard; G or NPT available on request. We confirm allowable load, moment, and kinetic-energy limits from the published Wmax and Emax tables.
Applications
Component Test Fixture
Press or probe a small component over a 30 mm stroke with ball-bearing precision and shock-absorber end cushioning for repeatable contact force.
Assembly Press Station
Advance a pressing tool 30 mm to seat a small part, relying on the dual shock absorbers to prevent impact damage at stroke ends.
Lateral Shuttle
Shuttle a workpiece carrier sideways between two stations with smooth ball-guided motion and controlled deceleration at both ends.
FAQ
What does the B adjuster code mean on the HLQ20X30SB?
B indicates shock absorbers fitted on both the extension and retraction ends. This provides energy absorption at both stroke ends, ideal for heavier or faster-moving loads where a rubber bumper alone would not suffice. B-type adjusters are available on bore 12 and larger, not on bore 6.
How do I confirm the load and moment capacity for this slide table?
Allowable load, moment, and kinetic-energy values are published as Wmax, Emax, and moment tables, with deflection shown as curves. We reference these from the datasheet to confirm suitability for your specific mounting orientation and payload. Contact us with your load details for sizing verification.
