Airtac HLQ Dual-Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQ20X40S
The AirTAC Airtac HLQ Dual-Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQ20X40S 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 HLQ20X40S
The AirTAC HLQ20X40S is a double-acting dual-rod slide-table cylinder integrating an air cylinder with a ball-bearing linear guide. The 20 mm bore and 40 mm stroke deliver moderate thrust with straight, low-deflection travel. The dual rod doubles the thrust, and a floating joint protects the rod from side torque. The ball-bearing guide is anti-rust and dust-proof for 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, 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
The 20 mm bore fits applications needing moderate thrust at this guide size; stepping up a bore gives more push but increases footprint. The HLQ ball-bearing guide is the right choice where anti-rust and dust-proof properties are key advantages. This model has basic end stops with no adjuster; add an A code for adjustable rubber stoppers or B for shock absorbers if end-of-stroke impact is a concern. Verify the 40 mm stroke is within the bore 20 catalog range. Thread is PT; G or NPT are available on request. We can confirm allowable load, moment, and kinetic energy from the published Wmax, Emax, and moment tables and deflection curves.
Applications
Pick-and-Place Stage
Positions parts precisely with anti-rust ball-bearing guided travel.
Small-Parts Transfer
Transfers components between conveyor stations with dust-proof guide rails.
Assembly Station Index
Indexes a workpiece to an assembly position with dual-rod straight travel.
FAQ
Does the HLQ20X40S include end adjusters or shock absorbers?
This model has basic end stops with no adjuster code. Choose A for adjustable rubber stoppers or B for shock absorbers at both ends if your application has impact loads. AS or BS applies the stopper or absorber to the extension side, and AF or BF to the retraction side.
What load and moment can the HLQ20X40S handle?
Allowable load, moment, and kinetic energy are published as Wmax, Emax, and moment tables with deflection curves. We confirm these values from the manufacturer datasheet for your specific stroke. Maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa (100 psi), and the operating range for the 20 mm bore is 0.15-0.7 MPa (22-100 psi).
