Airtac HLQL Dual Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQL8X40S
The AirTAC Airtac HLQL Dual Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQL8X40S 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 HLQL8X40S
The AirTAC HLQL8X40S is a symmetrical ball-bearing slide-table cylinder with a bore 8 mm and 40 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 shields the rods from side torque. The ball-bearing guide is anti-rust and dust-proof, fitting clean or wash-down applications.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. A magnet is standard for position sensing, and the body carries 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
Bore 8 handles light guided travel; a larger bore increases push but enlarges the footprint. The HLQL symmetrical ball-bearing guide is the choice for anti-rust, dust-proof environments with symmetrical mounting needs. This model has no adjuster code, so both ends use the basic bumper stopper. Stroke 40 mm must be within the bore 8 stroke table. Thread is PT standard; specify G or T for other thread types. Allowable load and moment are confirmed from published AirTAC tables and deflection curves.
Applications
Precision Workpiece Index
Indexes a small workpiece along a straight path; the ball-bearing guide maintains straightness even under light dust.
Light Sorter Push
Pushes lightweight items at a sorting station where the dual rod keeps the push face parallel across the 40 mm stroke.
Sensor Carrier Adjust
Positions a sensor or probe on a test fixture; the symmetrical body allows flexible mounting in tight spaces.
FAQ
Does the HLQL8X40S include a shock absorber or adjustable stopper?
No. The model code has no adjuster letter, so both ends use the basic bumper stopper. If you need shock absorbers or rubber stoppers, choose a variant with the A or B suffix (AF, AS, BF or BS).
Is the magnet optional on this slide table?
No. The magnet is standard on the entire HLQL line; the S in the code confirms it is fitted. The body has slots for CMSH, DMSH or EMSH sensor switches. We confirm load and moment limits from the datasheet.
