Airtac HLQ Dual-Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQ20X50SAF
The AirTAC Airtac HLQ Dual-Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQ20X50SAF 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 HLQ20X50SAF
The AirTAC HLQ20X50SAF is a double-acting dual-rod slide-table cylinder integrating an air cylinder with a ball-bearing linear guide. The 20 mm bore and 50 mm stroke provide moderate thrust through twin rods, and the floating joint prevents side torque on the rods. An adjustable rubber stopper is fitted on the retraction side only, giving controlled cushioning where the return stroke ends. The ball-bearing guide is anti-rust and dust-proof, using a double-rail layout at this bore for precise low-deflection travel.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with a standard magnet fitted for position sensing. Compatible sensor switches include CMSH, DMSH, and EMSH series in the magnetic-switch slots on the body. We confirm thrust, 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 delivers moderate thrust from a compact guided slide; a larger bore increases push. The HLQ ball-bearing guide suits anti-rust, dust-proof environments over the cross-roller HLS. Stroke 50 mm must fall within the bore 20 stroke table in the datasheet.
The AF adjuster places an adjustable rubber stopper on the retraction side only, which is useful when the return end-position needs repeatable cushioning but the extension end relies on the standard bumper. Thread is PT (tapered). We can route load, moment, and deflection sizing from the published Wmax, Emax, and deflection curves.
Applications
Pick-and-Place Head
Mounts a gripper for precise component pick-and-place with a retraction-side rubber stopper ensuring repeatable return positioning on an electronics line.
Parts Transfer Stage
Transfers small parts between conveyor stations with anti-rust ball-bearing guidance and controlled return-stop cushioning in a packaging cell.
Assembly Stage Traverse
Positions a sub-assembly under a test head with low-deflection dual-rod travel and retraction-side rubber-stopper end control in a light-assembly station.
FAQ
What does the AF code mean on the HLQ20X50SAF adjuster?
AF places an adjustable rubber stopper on the retraction side only. The extension end uses the standard bumper. This is useful when the return stroke needs repeatable end-position cushioning but the extension end does not. Other options include A (both ends), AS (extension side), and B (shock absorbers).
What maximum pressure can this bore 20 slide table handle?
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). Keep meter-out speed control within 50-500 mm/s. Proof pressure is 1.2 MPa (175 psi) for validation only.
