Airtac HLQ Dual-Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQ20X30SBF
The AirTAC Airtac HLQ Dual-Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQ20X30SBF 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 HLQ20X30SBF
The AirTAC HLQ20X30SBF is a double-acting dual-rod slide-table cylinder that integrates an air cylinder with a ball-bearing linear guide. The 20 mm bore and 30 mm stroke deliver moderate thrust with straight, low-deflection travel, while the dual rod doubles the output force. A floating joint spares the rod from side torque so the moving table stays on track. The ball-bearing guide is anti-rust and dust-proof, suited to clean or mildly contaminating environments.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. A magnet is standard for position sensing with CMSH, DMSH, or EMSH switches. We confirm thrust values, dimensions, and allowable load or moment from the manufacturer 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
Choose the 20 mm bore when moderate thrust is needed at this guide size; a bigger bore gives more push but adds width. The HLQ ball-bearing guide is the right pick when anti-rust and dust-proof properties matter more than the highest rigidity. This model includes a shock absorber on the retraction side (BF code) for smoother end-of-stroke deceleration; pick B for both ends if impacts occur in both directions. Stroke must stay within the bore 20 range in the catalog table. Thread is PT (R thread); specify G or NPT if your fittings differ. We can size allowable load, moment, and kinetic energy from the published Wmax, Emax, and moment tables and deflection curves on request.
Applications
Pick-and-Place Head
Mounts a small gripper for precise part placement with anti-rust ball-bearing guidance.
Small-Parts Transfer
Transfers lightweight components between stations with dust-proof guided travel.
Assembly Stage Stopper
Positions a workpiece at an assembly station with shock-absorber deceleration on retract.
FAQ
What does the BF adjuster code mean on this HLQ model?
BF indicates a shock absorber on the retraction side only. Choose B for shock absorbers at both ends if your application has impact loads in both stroke directions, or A for adjustable rubber stoppers. B-type adjusters are available on bore 20 and above.
What is the maximum operating pressure for the HLQ20?
Maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa (100 psi). The operating range for bore 20 is 0.15-0.7 MPa (22-100 psi). Proof pressure is 1.2 MPa (175 psi). Meter-out speed control should keep travel between 50 and 500 mm/s.
