Airtac HLQ Dual-Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQ20X40SB
The AirTAC Airtac HLQ Dual-Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQ20X40SB 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 HLQ20X40SB
A slide-table cylinder integrates an air cylinder with a linear guide so the moving table travels straight along its stroke. The HLQ series uses a ball-bearing guide for smooth, low-friction travel with anti-rust and dust-proof properties suited to cleaner environments. This bore 20, stroke 40 model delivers higher thrust from its dual-rod design, and a floating joint spares the rods from side torque so the guide stays accurate.
This is a genuine AirTAC HLQ slide-table cylinder with a standard magnet for position sensing. Compatible sensor switches include CMSH, DMSH, and EMSH series, which mount in the body slots. We confirm exact thrust, dimensions, load, and moment values from 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
Choose bore 20 when you need more push than a smaller bore provides; the bigger bore raises thrust without changing the footprint class. The HLQ ball-bearing guide suits applications needing smooth travel with anti-rust and dust-proof characteristics. This model code carries B, meaning shock absorbers at both ends to manage end-of-stroke impact energy. Thread is PT. For allowable load, moment, and kinetic-energy limits, we route sizing to the published tables and deflection curves.
Applications
Pick-and-Place Head
Guides a small gripper head between pick and place positions with repeatable stop accuracy and smooth ball-bearing travel.
Parts Transfer Diverter
Shifts small components sideways between two conveyor lanes using the 40 mm stroke with low-friction guided motion.
Assembly Stage Stop
Positions a workpiece at an assembly station bore after bore, absorbing end-of-stroke energy with both-end shock absorbers.
FAQ
What does the B suffix mean on model HLQ20X40SB?
The B indicates shock absorbers fitted at both ends of the stroke, which absorb end-of-stroke impact energy more effectively than a standard bumper. B-type adjusters are available on bore 8 and larger; bore 6 uses bumper cushioning only.
What is the maximum operating pressure for this bore 20 model?
Maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa (100 psi). The operating range for bore 20 is 0.15-0.7 MPa (22-100 psi). Use filtered air and keep speed within 50-500 mm/s with meter-out flow control.
