Airtac HLQL Dual Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQL8X40SAS
The AirTAC Airtac HLQL Dual Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQL8X40SAS 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 HLQL8X40SAS
The HLQL8X40SAS 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 follows a straight path with low deflection. Dual rods double the thrust and a floating joint spares the rods from side torque. The ball-bearing guide delivers anti-rust and dust-proof operation for environments where contamination control is important. An adjustable rubber stopper is fitted on the extension side for controlled cushioning at that end of travel.
The HLQL8X40SAS comes with a standard magnet for position detection. Compatible sensor switches are CMSH, DMSH, and EMSH, which clip into the body slots. We confirm thrust, dimensions, and load-moment figures from the 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
Select the 8 mm bore for light to moderate thrust in space-constrained builds; a larger bore provides more push when needed. The ball-bearing guide (HLQ/HLQL) is chosen when anti-rust and dust-proof performance are priorities, while the cross-roller (HLS) maximizes rigidity. The symmetrical HLQL layout balances the load on the guide. The 40 mm stroke fits the bore 8 stroke table. The AS adjuster places a rubber stopper on the extension side only; thread is PT as standard. We confirm allowable load, moment, and deflection from published tables and curves on request.
Applications
Push-Off Station
Pushes small parts off a conveyor lane with an extension-side rubber stopper for soft, repeatable contact at the end of stroke.
Sorting Diverter
Diverts lightweight items between two lanes using the straight 40 mm travel with ball-bearing precision in a dust-controlled area.
Adjustable Stopper Slide
Serves as an adjustable hard stop for downstream tooling, using the extension-side rubber stopper to fine-tune the stopping position.
FAQ
What does the AS adjuster code mean on the HLQL8X40SAS?
The A indicates an adjustable rubber stopper and the S after it specifies the extension side, so the stopper is fitted on the extension end only. The retraction end uses a basic bumper. The S at the end of the base code means the standard magnet is fitted; it is not an option to remove.
How do I confirm the load and moment capacity for this model?
Allowable load, moment, and deflection values are published in datasheet tables and curves specific to the bore and stroke. We confirm these figures on request. Operating pressure for the 8 mm bore is 0.2 to 0.7 MPa (29 to 100 psi), never exceeding 0.7 MPa.
