The AirTAC Airtac TMIC Guided Cylinder with Guide Unit TMICL25X200 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 200mm stroke stays true, giving you a ready-to-mount linear slide without a separate guide.
Built around a 25mm bore, this twin-rod guide-frame unit delivers 245.3N of push force at 0.5MPa while keeping the rod perfectly true on linear bearings. A needle-set variable air cushion at each end absorbs high-speed shock, ensuring smooth, quiet deceleration across the 200mm travel. The 1/8" port feeds the double-acting MIC cylinder core, yielding a theoretical maximum output of 50kgf at 1.0MPa.
Because the frame carries the torque, the piston avoids side-load wear. For vertical push-up moves, expect it to push about 12.5kg safely with a 2:1 margin, load curve permitting. Note this specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. The supported load falls as the offset grows, so always size from the TMI load-offset curves 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.
| 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.

|---|---|
| L | Linear bearing — low friction, high precision, best for push-up / high-load. |

TMI/TMIC family: TMI (bumper) / TMIC (cushion), bearing M (brass) / L (linear). Order the guide frame separately as F-TMICL25X200 when needed.
Uses the 245.3N thrust at 0.5MPa to seat heavy components, with the air cushion decelerating the 200mm drop to prevent impact damage.
Shifts heavy pallets laterally where the twin-rod frame resists torque and the linear bearings ensure smooth, low-friction travel.
Pushes folding cartons square against a stop, relying on the guided frame to keep the 200mm stroke perfectly aligned without binding.
If 245.3N at 0.5MPa is too much, step down to the TMICL20X200 which provides 157.0N; if you need more power, this 25mm bore is the largest cushioned option. Choose these linear bearings over the brass-bearing TMICM when low friction and precise travel matter more than torsional stiffness. The variable air cushion is essential for moving heavy loads at high speeds up to 500mm/s.
Remember that allowable load depends entirely on the distance from the mounting plate, so verify the exact figure from the maximum-load curves. Since this exact model has no -S suffix, it cannot host position sensors. To hold a load vertically on air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot check valve, as the cushion only decelerates near stroke end.
Quick checklist
This 25mm bore cylinder pushes 245.3N and pulls 206.1N at 0.5MPa, pushes 343.4N at 0.7MPa, and reaches a theoretical max of 50kgf at 1.0MPa. However, thrust is not the load limit. The allowable load falls as the offset distance increases, so you must verify capacity from the TMI load-offset curves.
This specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. The variable air cushion at both ends only decelerates motion near stroke end to absorb shock; it is not a brake. On air loss the piston drifts, so use an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a load.
