Airtac HLQL Dual Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQL12X20SAF
The AirTAC Airtac HLQL Dual Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQL12X20SAF is a genuine HLQ slide-table cylinder, 12 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 85 N of push at 0.5 MPa. This is the symmetrical version. A floating joint spares the rod from side torque; the magnet is fitted as standard.

About the Airtac HLQL Dual Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQL12X20SAF
The AirTAC HLQL12X20SAF is a symmetrical ball-bearing slide table cylinder that pairs a double-acting dual-rod air cylinder with a linear ball guide for straight, low-deflection table travel. The 12 mm bore delivers moderate thrust, and the floating joint isolates the rods from side torque so the guide retains its precision.
As a genuine AirTAC part this unit ships with a standard magnet. CMSH, DMSH and EMSH sensor switches fit the magnetic-switch slots on the body for position feedback. We verify thrust, dimensions, allowable load and moment from the datasheet or on-page spec table whenever you need sizing confirmation.

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 12 mm bore offers moderate thrust in a compact body; stepping up to a larger bore increases push force. The HLQL ball-bearing guide is anti-rust and dust-proof, a good match for cleaner or mildly corrosive settings. Stroke 20 mm is within the standard table for this bore.
The AF code places an adjustable rubber stopper on the retraction side only, ideal when the extension end position is fixed by the workpiece or tooling but you need fine retraction-end control. Thread is PT. We route all load, moment and deflection checks to the published tables and curves for verified figures.
Applications
Gripper Traverse
Drive a gripper across a short 20 mm stroke with the ball-bearing guide maintaining repeatable positioning for component handling in dust-prone areas.
Workpiece Shuttle
Shuttle a workpiece into a fixture on retraction, using the retraction-side rubber stopper to set the precise home position without over-travel.
Assembly Feed Stage
Feed a small part into an assembly head with the symmetrical table keeping the tooling centered under load for consistent placement.
FAQ
What does AF mean for this model?
AF means an adjustable rubber stopper is fitted on the retraction side only. The extension side uses the standard bumper. If you need stoppers on both ends choose the A version; for extension-side only choose AS. B-type shock absorbers are an alternative but are not available on bore 6.
How do I confirm allowable load and moment for my application?
Allowable load, moment and kinetic energy are published as Wmax, Emax and moment tables, with deflection shown as curves. Contact us and we will pull the exact values from the datasheet for your stroke and mounting orientation so you can size with verified data.
