Airtac TMIC Guided Cylinder with Guide Unit TMICL16X200S
The AirTAC Airtac TMIC Guided Cylinder with Guide Unit TMICL16X200S is a genuine guide-frame (guided) pneumatic cylinder — a Ø16mm double-acting MI mini cylinder built into a twin-rod guide unit running on linear bearings. The guide frame absorbs side load and torque so the 200mm stroke stays true, giving you a ready-to-mount linear slide without a separate guide.

About the Airtac TMIC Guided Cylinder with Guide Unit TMICL16X200S
Needle-set air cushions at both ends absorb high-speed shocks, while the twin-rod aluminium guide frame manages side load and torque for true square motion. This TMICL16X200S unit integrates an MIC mini cylinder with a linear-bearing slide, operating at 30-500 mm/s.
As a 16 mm bore double-acting cylinder, it yields 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa. The linear bearings offer low friction and high precision, making this ideal for vertical push-up moves. With a safe working thrust around 60 N, it pushes roughly 5.1 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin, load curve permitting. It features an M5x0.8 port and a built-in magnet for position sensing.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC TMI/TMIC datasheet. Guide frame & fixed plate: aluminum alloy; matching cylinder: MI/MIC round-body mini cylinder. Allowable load depends on the load-offset distance — consult the TMI/TMIC maximum-load curves before final selection. Thread options: PT (blank) / G.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø16mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 101 N | 86 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 141 N | 121 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 21 kgf | |
Thrust equals the underlying MI cylinder. The usable load a guide frame can carry is limited by the load-offset curve, not by thrust alone — always check both. Actual force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure.

Where the Airtac TMIC Guided Cylinder with Guide Unit TMICL16X200S Is Used
Vertical Push-Up Lifting
Linear bearings provide low friction and high precision for upward push moves, handling about 5.1 kg safely with a 2:1 margin based on the 100.5 N thrust.
High-Speed Part Diverting
Twin-rod guide frame resists side load while the variable air cushion soaks up shock at 30-500 mm/s, ensuring quiet and square motion during rapid transfers.
Precision Sensor Mounting
The -S magnet enables exact position feedback via CMSG switches, while the guided frame keeps the 6 mm rod true for repeatable measurement setups.
Is the Airtac TMIC Guided Cylinder with Guide Unit TMICL16X200S the Right Cylinder?
This 200 mm stroke, 16 mm bore model provides a safe working thrust of about 60 N. If your application requires less force, a smaller bore might be needed, but for higher loads at 0.5 MPa, stepping up to the TMICL20X100S provides 157 N of push force. Choose these linear bearings over the brass-bearing TMICM when low friction and smooth travel outweigh torsional stiffness requirements.
The variable air cushion is essential for dampening high-speed impacts at the stroke ends, but remember it functions only as a decelerator, not a brake. The allowable load falls as the mass sits further from the plate, so always size from the load-offset curve rather than relying on thrust alone. The included -S magnet supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches for exact positioning.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required thrust at your working pressure
- ✓ Load and offset within the load curve
- ✓ Bearing: brass (torque) vs linear (precision)
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Keep the load within the load-offset curve.
- check Mount on a flat, rigid surface using the fixed plate.
- check Do not exceed the rated speed (30-500 mm/s).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac TMIC Guided Cylinder with Guide Unit TMICL16X200S FAQ
This 16 mm bore cylinder pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa, pushes 140.7 N at 0.7 MPa, and has a theoretical max of 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The guided load limit depends on the load-offset distance, so you must confirm the allowable load from the TMI/TMIC maximum-load curves rather than relying on thrust alone.
The -S suffix means it has a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. The variable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke ends and does not act as a lock or brake; on air loss, the piston drifts. For holding a vertical load, use an external rod lock or pilot check valve.
