Airtac HLQ Dual-Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQ20X50S
The AirTAC Airtac HLQ Dual-Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQ20X50S 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 HLQ20X50S
The AirTAC HLQ20X50S is a double-acting dual-rod slide-table cylinder that integrates an air cylinder with a ball-bearing linear guide. The 20 mm bore with 50 mm stroke delivers moderate thrust through twin rods, while the floating joint protects the rods from side torque. The ball-bearing guide provides anti-rust, dust-proof operation with precise straight-line travel and low deflection, using a double-rail layout at this bore size.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with a standard magnet fitted for position sensing. Compatible sensor switches include CMSH, DMSH, and EMSH series, which seat in the magnetic-switch slots machined into the body. We confirm exact thrust values, dimensions, and load-moment ratings 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 mm suits applications needing moderate thrust from a compact guided slide; a bigger bore gives more push. The ball-bearing guide type (HLQ) is chosen when anti-rust and dust-proof operation matter more than the cross-roller rigidity of HLS. Stroke 50 mm must fall within the bore 20 stroke table listed in the datasheet.
This model carries basic bumper cushioning at both ends. For stronger end-stop control, consider the A or B adjuster variants on the same HLQ body. Thread is PT (tapered). We can route load, moment, and deflection sizing using the published Wmax, Emax, and deflection curves.
Applications
Pick-and-Place Head
Mounts a small gripper for precise pick-and-place of electronic components on a PCB assembly line with dust-proof ball-bearing guidance.
Parts Transfer Stage
Transfers small parts between conveyor stations with anti-rust guided straight travel in a compact packaging cell.
Assembly Stage Traverse
Positions a sub-assembly under a press or test head with low-deflection dual-rod travel in a light-assembly station.
FAQ
What guide type does the HLQ20X50S use and when should I choose it over HLS?
The HLQ uses a ball-bearing linear guide that is anti-rust and dust-proof, ideal for environments where corrosion resistance and contamination control matter. Choose HLS cross-roller guides when maximum rigidity and load capacity take priority over those environmental protections.
What is the maximum operating pressure for this bore 20 slide table?
The maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa (100 psi). Operating pressure for the 20 mm bore ranges from 0.15 to 0.7 MPa (22-100 psi). Meter-out speed control should keep travel between 50 and 500 mm/s.
