Airtac TMIC Guided Cylinder with Guide Unit TMICL16X75
The AirTAC Airtac TMIC Guided Cylinder with Guide Unit TMICL16X75 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 75mm stroke stays true, giving you a ready-to-mount linear slide without a separate guide.

About the Airtac TMIC Guided Cylinder with Guide Unit TMICL16X75
Built around an MIC mini cylinder housed in a twin-rod aluminium guide frame, this double-acting slide runs on linear bearings for low-friction, high-precision travel. The needle-set variable air cushion at both ends absorbs high-speed shock, ensuring quiet, square motion without rod deflection.
In the 16 mm bore class, it generates 100.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making it suitable for compact lifting tasks. Factoring a 2:1 safety margin, it pushes about 5.1 kg vertically, load curve permitting. Note that this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG position sensors. The allowable payload depends entirely on the load-offset distance, so always confirm the exact limit from the datasheet curves rather than relying on thrust alone.

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 TMICL16X75 Is Used
Compact Vertical Lift
Raises light platens or product in packaging machines, using the 100.5 N push force and linear bearings to maintain vertical accuracy without side drift.
Small Part Insertion
Pushes delicate electronics components into fixtures at speed, relying on the variable air cushion to decelerate the 75 mm stroke smoothly and prevent impact damage.
Guided Pick-and-Place
Shifts small workpieces horizontally between stations where the twin-rod frame keeps the tooling square and absorbs sudden stops via the adjustable end cushions.
Is the Airtac TMIC Guided Cylinder with Guide Unit TMICL16X75 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this unit, compare it against the neighbouring bores: the 20 mm frame pushes 157.0 N at 0.5 MPa for heavier lifts, while this 16 mm bore is the smallest cushioned option available. Choose the TMICL linear-bearing version over the brass-bearing TMICM when smooth, accurate vertical push-up motion matters more than torsional stiffness. The variable air cushion is essential for high-speed moves, as it decelerates the payload near stroke end to prevent end-cap impact.
Always select the payload capacity from the maximum load-offset curves, as thrust does not dictate the guide limit. Because this model has no -S suffix, it lacks a magnet and cannot support switches; if you need position feedback, order the -S variant instead. The frame uses an M5x0.8 port and a 6 mm rod.
Quick checklist

- ✓ 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 TMICL16X75 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N; at 0.7 MPa it pushes 140.7 N and pulls 120.9 N. The theoretical maximum force is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. However, thrust is not the guided-load limit—you must verify the allowable payload against the load-offset curves in the datasheet.
This specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. The linear bearings provide low-friction, high-precision travel ideal for vertical push-up moves, while the needle-set variable air cushion at both ends decelerates the piston near stroke end for smooth, quiet operation. It is not a lock or brake.
