Airtac HLQL Dual Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQL8X20SBS
The AirTAC Airtac HLQL Dual Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQL8X20SBS 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 HLQL8X20SBS
The HLQL8X20SBS is a symmetrical double-acting dual-rod slide-table cylinder that integrates an air cylinder with a ball-bearing linear guide. The ball-bearing guide is anti-rust and dust-proof, delivering smooth precise travel with low deflection. Dual rods double the thrust for a bore 8 body, and a floating joint protects the rods from side torque. Shock absorbers at both ends cushion the 20 mm stroke.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with a standard magnet for position sensing; compatible sensor switches are CMSH, DMSH, and EMSH, which mount in the body's magnetic-switch slots. We confirm the exact thrust, dimensions, allowable load, and moment values from the AirTAC datasheet or on-page 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
Choose the bore based on the thrust you need - a bigger bore gives more push, and bore 8 suits lighter-duty applications. The HLQL ball-bearing sub-family is selected when anti-rust and dust-proof operation matter, and the symmetrical L version centers the load for balanced travel. Stroke 20 mm must fall within the bore 8 stroke range listed in the datasheet. The BS adjuster adds shock absorbers at both ends for heavier end-of-stroke impact energy. We route allowable load and moment sizing to the published AirTAC tables and deflection curves on request.
Applications
Pick-and-Place Head
Mounts a small gripper for precise component placement on a PCB assembly line with dust-proof ball-rail guidance.
Small-Parts Transfer
Transfers light parts between conveyor lanes where the symmetrical ball-bearing guide keeps travel smooth and deflection low.
Gripper Traverse
Indexes a gripper sideways between two pick positions with shock-absorber cushioning at both stroke ends.
FAQ
What does the BS adjuster mean on this model?
BS indicates shock absorbers installed at both ends of the stroke, which absorb end-of-stroke impact energy. This option is available on bore 8 and larger; bore 6 does not support B-type adjusters.
What is the maximum working pressure for this slide table?
The maximum operating pressure is 0.7 MPa (100 psi). For bore 8 the operating range is 0.2-0.7 MPa (29-100 psi). Meter-out speed control should keep travel between 50 and 500 mm/s.
