Airtac HLQL Dual Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQL8X40SA
The AirTAC Airtac HLQL Dual Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQL8X40SA 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 HLQL8X40SA
The HLQL8X40SA is a genuine AirTAC symmetrical ball-bearing guided slide-table cylinder with an 8 mm bore and a 40 mm stroke. It integrates a double-acting air cylinder with a linear ball-bearing guide so the moving table travels straight with low deflection. The dual-rod layout doubles thrust and a floating joint protects the rods from side torque. The ball-bearing guide provides anti-rust and dust-proof operation, suited to environments where cleanliness matters. Adjustable rubber stoppers are fitted at both ends for controlled end-of-stroke positioning.
Every HLQL8X40SA ships with a standard magnet for position sensing; compatible switches include the CMSH, DMSH, and EMSH series, which seat in the body slots. We confirm thrust, dimensions, and load-moment ratings from the datasheet or the on-page spec table on request so you can size with confidence.

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 8 mm bore for light to moderate thrust in compact installations; a larger bore gives more push if your application demands it. The ball-bearing guide (HLQ/HLQL) is the right pick when you need anti-rust and dust-proof performance, while the cross-roller (HLS) targets maximum rigidity. This symmetrical HLQL version centers the workpiece load on the guide for balanced travel. The 40 mm stroke fits the bore 8 stroke table. The A adjuster provides rubber stoppers at both ends; thread is PT as standard. We confirm allowable load, moment, and deflection from published tables and curves on request.
Applications
Pick-and-Place Head
Guides a small vacuum pick head through straight pick-and-place cycles where repeatability and low deflection are needed.
Small-Parts Transfer
Transfers lightweight components between conveyor stations with precise end-of-stroke positioning via rubber stoppers.
Assembly Stage Slide
Positions a sub-assembly fixture along a 40 mm stroke in a clean, dust-sensitive production cell.
FAQ
What does the SA in HLQL8X40SA mean?
The S indicates the standard magnet is fitted (it is not optional). The A means adjustable rubber stoppers are installed at both ends of the slide table for tunable end-of-stroke cushioning. Thread is PT (standard).
What is the maximum operating pressure for the HLQL8X40SA?
Maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa (100 psi). For the 8 mm bore the operating range is 0.2 to 0.7 MPa (29 to 100 psi). Control speed with meter-out flow valves within the 50 to 500 mm/s range. We confirm load and moment ratings from the datasheet on request.
