Airtac HLQL Dual Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQL8X50SBF
The AirTAC Airtac HLQL Dual Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQL8X50SBF 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 HLQL8X50SBF
The AirTAC HLQL8X50SBF is a double-acting dual-rod slide-table cylinder that combines an air cylinder with a ball-bearing linear guide for straight, precise table movement. The symmetrical body design supports balanced mounting in tight layouts. With an 8 mm bore and 50 mm stroke the unit produces light thrust, and the floating joint isolates the rods from side torque. The BF adjuster installs a shock absorber on the retraction side to cushion the return stroke.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The magnet is standard, and the body includes slots for CMSH, DMSH, or EMSH sensor switches. We verify 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
An 8 mm bore is selected when light thrust and compact size matter most; choose a larger bore for greater push. The HLQL ball-bearing guide offers anti-rust and dust-proof operation, fitting environments where a cross-roller guide might be vulnerable. The 50 mm stroke falls within the bore 8 range. The BF adjuster places a shock absorber on the retraction side only, useful when the return stroke carries a payload that needs soft deceleration but the extension stop can remain a standard bumper. Thread is PT.
For load and moment validation we reference the published Wmax, Emax, moment tables, and deflection curves. Contact us to confirm values for your specific mounting and payload conditions.
Applications
Assembly Stage Traverse
Retract a tooling plate 50 mm from a workpiece with the shock absorber cushioning the return so delicate components are not jolted by the stop.
Small-Parts Transfer
Push small components into a fixture on extension and pull back smoothly on retraction, the ball-bearing guide keeping the part path straight throughout.
Stopper Mechanism
Use the symmetrical body as a retracting stop on a test line where the retraction-side absorber protects sensitive products during the return motion.
FAQ
What does BF mean in HLQL8X50SBF?
BF decodes as a shock absorber on the retraction side only. Other adjuster options are blank (basic bumper), A (rubber stoppers both ends), B (shock absorbers both ends), and the single-sided variants AS/AF. B-type adjusters are not available on bore 6 but are valid for bore 8.
Can I confirm allowable load and moment for this model?
Yes. Load, moment, and kinetic energy limits are published as Wmax, Emax, and moment tables along with deflection curves. We confirm the exact values from the datasheet for your mounting orientation and working point on request.
