Airtac HLQ Dual-Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQ20X50SBS
The AirTAC Airtac HLQ Dual-Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQ20X50SBS 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 HLQ20X50SBS
The HLQ20X50SBS is a double-acting dual-rod slide-table cylinder that integrates an air cylinder with a ball-bearing linear guide, so the moving table travels straight with low deflection. The dual rod doubles the thrust for a compact 20 mm bore, and a floating joint spares the rod from side torque so the guide keeps its precision over many cycles. This 50 mm stroke version carries a shock absorber on the extension side (adjuster code BS), cushioning the end-of-stroke impact on the outward stroke while the retraction side uses the standard bumper.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with a standard sintered NdFeB magnet for position sensing; compatible sensor switches are CMSH, DMSH, and EMSH, mounted in the magnetic-switch slots on the body. We confirm the exact thrust, dimensions, allowable load, and moment values from the published 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
A 20 mm bore gives higher thrust than the smaller bores in this HLQ family, making it a good match when you need more pushing force but still want the compact, anti-rust, dust-proof benefits of the ball-bearing guide. Stroke 50 mm sits within the standard stroke table for this bore. Choose HLQ when you need the ball-bearing guide's smooth travel and corrosion resistance; choose HLS for cross-roller rigidity, HLH for miniature roller-ball precision assembly, or HLF for a low-height body.
The BS adjuster adds a shock absorber on the extension side for smoother stopping at the forward end; the retraction end uses the standard bumper. Port thread is PT (BSPP) as standard; specify G or NPT if your fittings differ. We confirm allowable load, moment, and kinetic-energy limits from the published Wmax, Emax, and moment tables and deflection curves for your application.
Applications
Pick-and-Place Head
Mounts a small gripper on the ball-bearing table for repeatable pick-and-place cycles where the shock absorber cushions the extension stop.
Small-Parts Transfer
Transfers lightweight components between stations with straight, low-deflection travel on the dust-proof ball-bearing guide.
Assembly Stage Stopper
Positions a workpiece at an assembly station with the 50 mm stroke and extension-side shock absorber for gentle contact.
FAQ
What does the BS adjuster code mean on HLQ20X50SBS?
BS means a shock absorber is fitted on the extension (forward) side, cushioning the end-of-stroke impact in the outward direction. The retraction side uses the standard bumper cushion.
What is the maximum operating pressure for this cylinder?
The maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa (100 psi). For a 20 mm bore the operating range is 0.15-0.7 MPa (22-100 psi). Never exceed 0.7 MPa.
