Airtac HLQL Dual Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQL8X20SA
The AirTAC Airtac HLQL Dual Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQL8X20SA is a genuine HLQ slide-table cylinder, 8 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 38 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 HLQL8X20SA
The HLQL8X20SA is a genuine AirTAC double-acting dual-rod slide-table cylinder with an integrated ball-bearing linear guide for straight, low-deflection travel. The symmetrical body design suits tight installations, and the floating joint protects the rods from side torque. At bore 8 mm the thrust is light but adequate for small-part tasks, and the dual rod doubles the output versus a single-rod cylinder. The ball-bearing guide is anti-rust and dust-proof, fitting clean or mildly humid environments. The A suffix indicates adjustable rubber stoppers on both ends for fine-tuning the end-of-stroke position.
A sintered NdFeB magnet is standard, and sensor switches CMSH, DMSH or EMSH mount in the body slots. We confirm exact thrust, dimensions, allowable load and moment 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
Bore 8 provides light thrust for compact applications; step up to a larger bore if you need more push. This HLQL ball-bearing model uses a single-rail guide for anti-rust, dust-proof operation. The A adjuster adds adjustable rubber stoppers at both ends, letting you set the end-of-travel position precisely without relying on the internal bumper alone. The 20 mm stroke should be verified against the bore-8 stroke table in the datasheet. Ports are PT thread.
For load, moment and deflection sizing we refer you to the published Wmax, Emax, moment tables and deflection curves. Contact us to confirm the configuration before ordering.
Applications
Assembly Stage Positioning
Positions a small workpiece at an assembly station with adjustable rubber stoppers ensuring repeatable end-of-stroke placement.
Gripper Lateral Traverse
Moves a small gripper laterally between pick and place positions with fine-tuned stopper adjustment at both ends.
Small-Parts Ejection
Ejects small moulded or stamped parts from a fixture into a collection chute, using the dual-rod thrust for reliable transfer.
FAQ
What does the A adjuster code mean on the HLQL8X20SA?
The A suffix means adjustable rubber stoppers are fitted on both the extension and retraction ends, allowing you to fine-tune the end-of-stroke position beyond the basic internal bumper. This is available on bore 8 and larger; B-type shock absorbers are not offered on bore 6.
How is load capacity confirmed for this model?
Allowable load, moment and kinetic energy are published as Wmax, Emax and moment tables in the datasheet, with deflection shown as curves. We confirm these values on request. Maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa.
