The AirTAC Airtac TMIC Guided Cylinder with Guide Unit TMICL25X150S 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 150mm stroke stays true, giving you a ready-to-mount linear slide without a separate guide.
Built around a 25 mm bore twin-rod aluminium guide frame running on linear bearings, this double-acting slide delivers 245.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. A needle-set variable air cushion at each end absorbs high-speed shock, ensuring smooth and quiet deceleration before the end of travel. Because the frame carries the torque, the rod stays perfectly true under offset loads.
The linear bearings provide low friction and high precision, making the unit ideal for vertical push-up moves. With a 150 mm stroke and a 1/8" port, it pushes about 12.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin, load curve permitting. The built-in magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG sensors for position tracking.

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.
| 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.

TMI/TMIC family: TMI (bumper) / TMIC (cushion), bearing M (brass) / L (linear). Order the guide frame separately as F-TMICL25X150 when needed.
Uses the 245.3 N thrust to seat bearings smoothly, with the air cushion preventing harsh impact at the bottom of the 150 mm travel.
Low-friction linear bearings keep the push-up motion highly accurate while the twin-rod frame resists side load from off-center packages.
Needle-set cushions absorb kinetic energy from rapid 150 mm shifts, delivering quiet, square stops without rebound.
If 245.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa is too much, step down to the TMICL20X150S which provides 157.0 N. If you need more force, this 25 mm bore is the largest cushioned option in the family. Choose these linear bearings over the brass-bearing TMICM when smooth, low-friction travel matters more than torsional stiffness. The variable air cushion is essential for high-speed moves, but remember the allowable load falls as the offset distance grows—always size from the load-offset curve, not the thrust alone.
The -S suffix means a magnet is installed for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. Note that the cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end; it does not hold position on air loss. For a locked load, add an external rod lock or pilot check valve.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 245.3 N and pulls 206.1 N; at 0.7 MPa it pushes 343.4 N and pulls 288.5 N. The theoretical max is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Thrust is not the load limit—the allowable load depends on the load-offset distance and must be confirmed from the TMI/TMIC maximum-load curves.
No. The variable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end, and the linear bearings provide smooth travel but no holding force. On air loss the piston drifts. For vertical load holding, install an external rod lock or pilot check valve. The -S magnet enables CMSG, DMSG and EMSG sensors for position feedback.
