Airtac HLQL Dual Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQL8X30SBS
The AirTAC Airtac HLQL Dual Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQL8X30SBS 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 HLQL8X30SBS
The AirTAC HLQL8X30SBS is a symmetrical ball-bearing slide-table cylinder with a bore 8 mm and 30 mm stroke. The HLQL sub-family pairs an air cylinder with a linear ball-bearing guide so the table moves in a straight line with minimal deflection. Dual rods double the thrust and a floating joint spares the rods from side torque. The ball-bearing guide resists rust and blocks dust, suiting clean-room or wash-down use.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. A magnet is standard for position detection, and magnetic-switch slots on the body accept CMSH, DMSH or EMSH sensors. We confirm thrust, dimensions, load and moment 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
Bore 8 suits light guided travel; stepping up to a larger bore adds thrust at the cost of size. The HLQL symmetrical ball-bearing guide is ideal where anti-rust and dust-proof operation matter. The BS adjuster code places a shock absorber at the extension side for smooth end-of-stroke damping. Stroke 30 mm must be within the bore 8 stroke range. Thread is PT standard; choose G for G-thread or T for NPT. Allowable load and moment are confirmed from published AirTAC tables and curves.
Applications
Gripper Traverse Stage
Moves a small gripper along a linear path for part handling; the ball-bearing guide keeps travel precise under dust exposure.
Small-Parts Transfer
Shuttles lightweight parts between stations on a symmetrical mount; the dual rod maintains table levelness.
Eject Pin Actuation
Drives an eject pin on an assembly line where the extension-side shock absorber softens the stop at full extension.
FAQ
What does the BS adjuster code mean on the HLQL8X30SBS?
BS means a shock absorber is fitted at the extension side only; the retraction side uses the basic bumper stopper. Shock absorbers are available on bore 8 and above, not on bore 6.
How fast can this slide table cycle?
Operating pressure for bore 8 is 0.2 to 0.7 MPa (29-100 psi), with a maximum working pressure of 0.7 MPa. Use meter-out speed control to keep travel between 50 and 500 mm/s. We confirm load and moment limits from the datasheet.
