Airtac HLQL Dual Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQL8X30SAF
The AirTAC Airtac HLQL Dual Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQL8X30SAF 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 HLQL8X30SAF
The HLQL8X30SAF is a symmetrical ball-bearing slide-table cylinder with an 8 mm bore and 30 mm stroke. The integrated linear guide and dual-rod design deliver straight, precise travel while the floating joint protects the rods from side torque. The ball-bearing guide offers smooth, anti-rust, dust-resistant operation, and the symmetrical body enables balanced mounting on both sides. The dual-rod arrangement doubles the thrust compared to a single-rod cylinder of the same bore.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with a standard built-in magnet for position sensing. Compatible sensor switches from the CMSH, DMSH, and EMSH series mount in the body's dedicated magnetic-switch slots. The AF adjuster provides an adjustable rubber stopper on the retraction side for fine-tuned end-of-stroke cushioning at the retract end. We confirm exact thrust, dimensions, and allowable load/moment from the manufacturer 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
Choose bore 8 when you need light to moderate thrust in a compact, symmetrical ball-bearing slide table. The HLQ ball-bearing family is the right pick where anti-rust and dust-resistant guide operation matter. The 30 mm stroke fits within the bore 8 stroke range. The AF adjuster adds an adjustable rubber stopper on the retraction side for controlled retract-end stopping. Thread is standard PT. For allowable load, moment, and deflection sizing, we route you to the published tables and curves.
Applications
Pick-and-Place Transfer
Precise retraction-side rubber stopper positions small components during pick-and-place cycles with smooth ball-bearing guided travel.
Small-Parts Transfer Line
Symmetrical ball-bearing slide table moves small parts along a transfer line with dust-resistant, anti-rust guide rails.
Gripper Traverse Stage
Dual-rod ball-bearing guide carries a gripper across a short 30 mm stroke with balanced, low-deflection mounting.
FAQ
What does the AF adjuster code mean on this model?
AF indicates an adjustable rubber stopper on the retraction side. It lets you fine-tune the end-of-stroke cushioning at the retract end without affecting the extension side. The HLQL symmetrical ball-bearing body keeps the guide balanced for straight travel.
What is the maximum operating pressure for this cylinder?
The maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa (100 psi). For the 8 mm bore, the operating pressure range is 0.2 to 0.7 MPa (29 to 100 psi). Proof pressure is 1.2 MPa (175 psi). Meter-out speed control keeps travel within 50 to 500 mm/s.
