Airtac HLQL Dual Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQL8X20SB
The AirTAC Airtac HLQL Dual Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQL8X20SB 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 HLQL8X20SB
The HLQL8X20SB is a symmetrical ball-bearing slide-table cylinder with an 8 mm bore and 20 mm stroke. The dual-rod double-acting design integrates an air cylinder with a linear ball-bearing guide for straight, low-deflection travel. The symmetrical body supports balanced mounting, and the floating joint spares the rods from side torque. Ball-bearing construction provides anti-rust and dust-proof operation, while the dual rod delivers moderate thrust in a compact footprint. The B adjuster equips both stroke ends with shock absorbers for smoother deceleration at higher approach speeds.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with a standard magnet for position sensing. Compatible sensor switches include CMSH, DMSH, and EMSH series, fitting the magnetic-switch slots on the body. We confirm exact thrust, dimensions, and allowable load-moment values from the datasheet or on-page specification 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
The 8 mm bore suits compact setups where moderate thrust is sufficient; select a larger bore for more push force. The HLQL ball-bearing guide is ideal for anti-rust and dust-proof environments, versus the HLS cross-roller for maximum rigidity. The B adjuster adds shock absorbers at both ends for controlled stopping, useful when cycle speed matters. Choose PT, G, or NPT thread per your fittings. Contact us to size allowable load and moment from published tables and deflection curves.
Applications
Pick-and-Place Head
Carries a small suction gripper for precise pick-and-place of electronic components.
Short-Stroke Transfer
Transfers small parts between stations with shock-absorber end cushioning for faster cycles.
Stopper Actuator
Acts as a guided stopper in a compact assembly line with dust-proof linear motion.
FAQ
What does the B adjuster provide on this slide table?
The B code means shock absorbers are fitted at both the extension and retraction ends, giving smoother deceleration and allowing higher approach speeds without impact.
Can I run this cylinder above 0.7 MPa?
No. The maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa (100 psi). For the 8 mm bore the operating range is 0.2-0.7 MPa (29-100 psi). Proof pressure is 1.2 MPa for validation only.
