Airtac HLQL Dual Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQL8X40SB
The AirTAC Airtac HLQL Dual Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQL8X40SB 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 HLQL8X40SB
The HLQL8X40SB is a double-acting dual-rod slide-table cylinder with an integrated ball-bearing guide. At bore 8 and stroke 40, it provides moderate thrust and smooth straight travel, while the floating joint protects the rod from side torque. The symmetrical body eases mounting.
This is a genuine AirTAC part with a standard magnet. Sensor switches CMSH, DMSH or EMSH fit the body slots. We confirm exact thrust, dimensions and load-moment limits from the datasheet or on-page 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
Pick bore 8 for moderate thrust in compact guided motion; a larger bore gives more push. The HLQL ball-bearing guide adds anti-rust and dust-proof operation for cleaner travel. Stroke 40 is within the bore 8 range. Adjuster code B adds shock absorbers at both ends for smoother end-of-stroke damping. Thread is PT.
For load and moment sizing, we route you to the published Wmax/Emax tables and deflection curves.
Applications
Assembly Stage
Positions small parts accurately on an assembly stage using the rigid ball-bearing guide.
Part Transfer
Moves workpieces horizontally across a short transfer distance without deflection.
Gripper Traverse
Carries a small gripper smoothly along its stroke for pick-and-place tasks.
FAQ
What does the adjuster code B mean on HLQL8X40SB?
Code B means shock absorbers are fitted at both the extension and retraction ends for smoother end-of-stroke cushioning.
What is the maximum operating pressure?
Max working pressure is 0.7 MPa. For bore 8 the operating range is 0.2-0.7 MPa (29-100 psi), and meter-out speed must not exceed 500 mm/s.
