Airtac TMIC Guided Cylinder with Guide Unit TMICL25X100S
The AirTAC Airtac TMIC Guided Cylinder with Guide Unit TMICL25X100S is a genuine guide-frame (guided) pneumatic cylinder — a Ø25mm 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 100mm stroke stays true, giving you a ready-to-mount linear slide without a separate guide.

About the Airtac TMIC Guided Cylinder with Guide Unit TMICL25X100S
Built around a 25 mm bore, this double-acting guide-frame cylinder merges an MIC mini cylinder with a twin-rod aluminium slide running on linear bearings. Needle-set variable air cushions at both ends absorb high-speed shock, ensuring smooth and square motion. It pushes with 245.3 N and pulls with 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa, while the 1/8" port feeds the 10 mm rod.
The linear bearings provide low friction and high precision, making this unit ideal for vertical push-up moves. Based on the 0.5 MPa push force, a safe working thrust is roughly 147 N, or about 12.5 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin, load curve permitting. Remember that the allowable load falls as the distance from the plate increases, so always size from the load-offset curve rather than the 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 (Ø25mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 245 N | 206 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 344 N | 289 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 50 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 TMICL25X100S Is Used
Vertical Press Fit
Pushes down with a safe working thrust of roughly 147 N, using the needle air cushion to softly seat bearings without slamming at the 100 mm stroke end.
Pallet Diverter
Handles side torque from deflecting heavy boxes on a line; the twin-rod frame keeps the 10 mm rod true while linear bearings ensure smooth cycling.
Component Insertion
Uses low-friction linear bearings for precise vertical push-up moves, relying on the 245.3 N thrust to seat connectors accurately into housings.
Is the Airtac TMIC Guided Cylinder with Guide Unit TMICL25X100S the Right Cylinder?
If 245.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa is too much, step down to the TMICL20X100S which provides 157.0 N. If you need more force, this 25 mm bore is the largest cushioned option in the series. Choose these linear bearings over the brass-bearing TMICM when smooth travel and low friction matter more than torsional stiffness. The variable air cushion is essential for high-speed moves, but it only decelerates the piston near stroke end and does not hold position.
Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, it is ready for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors. Always verify the allowable load against the load-offset curve. For applications requiring the load to stay put on air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot check valve, as the cushion is not a brake.

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 TMICL25X100S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 245.3 N and pulls with 206.1 N. At 0.7 MPa the push is 343.4 N, and the theoretical max is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. However, thrust is not the guided load limit; the maximum load depends on the offset distance and must be confirmed from the load curve.
It features a variable air cushion at both ends to decelerate high-speed motion smoothly. The -S suffix means it has a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. The linear bearings provide high precision, but note the cushion only decelerates and does not lock the load.
