Airtac HLQL Dual Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQL8X50SAS
The AirTAC Airtac HLQL Dual Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQL8X50SAS 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 HLQL8X50SAS
The AirTAC HLQL8X50SAS is a double-acting dual-rod slide-table cylinder that integrates an air cylinder with a ball-bearing linear guide so the moving table travels straight and true. The symmetrical body layout suits compact setups where centering matters. An 8 mm bore with a 50 mm stroke delivers light thrust, and the floating joint spares the rods from side torque so the guide stays accurate over its travel. The AS adjuster places an adjustable rubber stopper on the extension side for controlled end-positioning.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. A magnet is standard for position sensing with CMSH, DMSH, or EMSH switches fitted in the body slots. We confirm thrust values, dimensions, and allowable load/moment 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
Choose the 8 mm bore when you need light thrust in a compact, symmetrical slide; stepping up to a larger bore gives more push. The ball-bearing guide in the HLQL sub-family is anti-rust and dust-proof, making it a good pick where the environment is less forgiving than a cross-roller application would tolerate. The 50 mm stroke sits within the bore 8 range. The AS adjuster gives you an adjustable rubber stopper on the extension side only; if you need shock absorption consider a B or BF option. Thread is PT (parallel) as standard.
For load and moment sizing we reference the published Wmax, Emax, and moment tables as well as the deflection curves. Contact us and we will confirm the figures for your mounting orientation and working point.
Applications
Pick-and-Place Head
Mount a small gripper on the symmetrical table for repeatable pick-and-place of electronic components with consistent extension-side stopping.
Small-Parts Transfer
Use the 50 mm stroke to push lightweight parts from a conveyor lane into a staging area with the rubber stopper controlling the extend position.
Assembly Stage Traverse
Index a small workpiece or tooling block between two assembly stations with the ball-bearing guide keeping travel straight and deflection low.
FAQ
What does the AS in HLQL8X50SAS mean?
AS decodes as an adjustable rubber stopper on the extension side only. The basic model has no adjuster; A gives rubber stoppers at both ends, B gives shock absorbers at both ends, and AS/AF or BS/BF apply the stopper or absorber to just one side.
What is the maximum operating pressure for this 8 mm bore slide table?
Maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa. For the 8 mm bore the operating range is 0.2-0.7 MPa (29-100 psi). Meter-out speed control should keep travel between 50 and 500 mm/s.
