About the Airtac RMH Magnetic Coupling Rodless Cylinder RMH16X100S
With a Dia 16 mm bore and a 100 mm stroke, the AirTAC RMH16X100S is the shortest travel of the Dia 16 rodless cylinders in this series. A double-acting piston is coupled to the outer slide by magnets with no mechanical link, so the tube stays fully sealed, there is no piston rod, and the piston chamber is isolated from the slide to keep dirt out. The added guide rail raises running accuracy, anti-rotation accuracy and load capacity.
The S in the order code marks the built-in magnet: CMSH, DMSH or EMSH switches mount in the groove of the slide. Ports are M5x0.8 on one side, air must be filtered to 40 um, and the 140 N magnetic holding force sets the thrust ceiling. It runs at 50 to 400 mm/s on 0.2-0.7 MPa between -20 and +70 C.

How to choose
Next to its Dia 16 siblings, RMH16X100S is the shortest stroke in this trio: RMH16X150S and RMH16X200S add 50 and 100 mm of travel with no change to the 140 N coupling or M5x0.8 ports. Step down to RMH10X100S if the 55 N holding force and 1.4/2.4 kg load case are enough; step up to RMH20X100S when you need 220 N, 3.6/6 kg loading and PT1/8 ports. The Dia 16 load table allows 3/5 kg on strokes to 300 mm, so all three strokes here sit in the strongest part of that range.
Applications
Pick-and-place inside a compact frame
A 100 mm slide travel and a rodless body fit where a rod cylinder plus piston rod would not; the built-in guide rail takes the lateral load so no external guide is needed.
Position flagging on a short stroke
The built-in magnet of the S option lets CMSH, DMSH or EMSH switches sit in the groove to signal end or mid positions of the 100 mm travel without brackets.
Light gating and dosing slides
With 140 N magnetic holding force and fixed cushion screws at both ends, the slide handles light gates on air filtered to 40 um at 0.2-0.7 MPa.
FAQ
What are the key figures of the RMH16X100S?
Dia 16 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, double acting with magnetic coupling and built-in guide rail, 140 N holding force, 0.2-0.7 MPa operating pressure, 50-400 mm/s speed, -20 to +70 C, M5x0.8 ports, stroke tolerance +1.0/0 mm, air filtered to 40 um, sensors CMSH, DMSH or EMSH.
How much load can the RMH16X100S slide carry?
The catalog load case for Dia 16 allows 3 or 5 kg on strokes up to 300 mm, and a 100 mm travel sits in the strongest part of that range. Keep the working force below the 140 N magnetic holding force.
