Airtac HLQL Dual Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQL8X30SBF
The AirTAC Airtac HLQL Dual Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQL8X30SBF 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 HLQL8X30SBF
The AirTAC HLQL8X30SBF is a symmetrical ball-bearing slide-table cylinder with a bore 8 mm and 30 mm stroke. The HLQL sub-family integrates an air cylinder with a linear ball-bearing guide so the moving table travels straight with low deflection. A dual-rod layout doubles the thrust and a floating joint protects the rods from side torque. The ball-bearing guide is anti-rust and dust-proof, making it well suited to clean or wash-down environments.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. A magnet is standard for position sensing, and the body has slots for CMSH, DMSH or EMSH sensor switches. We confirm thrust, dimensions, load and moment values from the AirTAC 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 for light-duty guided travel; a bigger bore gives more push but adds footprint. The HLQL symmetrical ball-bearing guide is the right pick when you need anti-rust, dust-proof operation and symmetrical mounting. The BF adjuster code means a shock absorber is fitted at the retraction side for end-of-stroke damping. Stroke 30 mm must fall within the bore 8 stroke table. Thread is PT as standard; specify G for G-thread or T for NPT if needed. We route allowable load and moment sizing to the published AirTAC tables and deflection curves.
Applications
Small-Part Pick-and-Place
Guides a small gripper for precise pick-and-place of electronic components with low deflection at the tool tip.
Stopper Pin Transfer
Extends a stopper pin on a conveyor line where the ball-bearing guide handles dust exposure without losing precision.
Assembly Stage Traverse
Positions a small fixture on an assembly station; the dual rod keeps the table level under light side loads.
FAQ
What does the BF adjuster code mean on the HLQL8X30SBF?
BF indicates a shock absorber fitted at the retraction side only. The extension side keeps the basic bumper stopper. Shock absorbers are available on bore 8 and above; they are not offered on bore 6.
What is the maximum operating pressure for this model?
The maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa. Bore 8 operates from 0.2 to 0.7 MPa (29-100 psi). Meter-out speed control should keep travel between 50 and 500 mm/s. Load and moment limits are confirmed from the datasheet.
