The AirTAC Airtac TMIC Guided Cylinder with Guide Unit TMICL25X25 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 25mm stroke stays true, giving you a ready-to-mount linear slide without a separate guide.
Built around a twin-rod aluminium guide frame running on linear bearings, the AirTAC TMICL25X25 is a double-acting guided cylinder that delivers 245.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. A needle-set variable air cushion at both ends absorbs high-speed shock, ensuring smooth and square motion even on short 25 mm moves. The linear bearings provide low friction and high precision, making this unit ideal for accurate vertical push-up tasks.
With a 25 mm bore and a 10 mm rod, it offers a safe working thrust of roughly 147 N and can push about 12.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin, load curve permitting. This SKU lacks a magnet and cannot take a sensor; add the -S option for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. The 1/8" port feeds the air supply, while the maximum load it can carry depends entirely on the load-offset distance—always confirm the exact capacity from the TMI/TMIC load 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.
| 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-TMICL25X25 when needed.
Delivers 245.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa for precise, cushioned pressing of small components over a 25 mm travel.
Linear bearings offer low-friction accuracy for vertical lifts, safely moving roughly 12.5 kg loads with a 2:1 margin.
The needle-set air cushion decelerates the 25 mm stroke smoothly, preventing shock damage during rapid part insertion.
When sizing this 25 mm bore unit, consider the TMICL20X100 if your application requires less force, as it provides 157 N of push at 0.5 MPa. If you need to step up, there is no larger standard TMICL bore, so you would look outside this family for more thrust. Choose these linear bearings over the brass-bearing TMICM when low friction and high travel precision matter more than torsional stiffness.
The variable air cushion is essential for high-speed operations, soaking up kinetic energy at the stroke ends to prevent harsh impacts. Remember that the allowable load drops as the mass sits further from the plate, so always size from the load-offset curve. This specific model has no magnet, so it cannot accept position sensors; order a -S variant if you need CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
Quick checklist
This 25 mm bore cylinder delivers 245.3 N push and 206.1 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 343.4 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical max of 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. However, thrust is not the guided-load limit; the actual load it can carry depends on the load-offset distance and must be verified from the TMI/TMIC load curves.
This specific SKU lacks a magnet and cannot accept CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors; you need the -S variant for switches. It uses linear bearings for low-friction, high-precision travel ideal for vertical push-ups, and a variable air cushion at both ends to decelerate the piston smoothly at high speeds. The cushion only slows the stroke near the end and does not lock or hold the load.
