Airtac TMIC Guided Cylinder with Guide Unit TMICM16X200S
The AirTAC Airtac TMIC Guided Cylinder with Guide Unit TMICM16X200S is a genuine guide-frame (guided) pneumatic cylinder — a Ø16mm double-acting MI mini cylinder built into a twin-rod guide unit running on brass 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.

About the Airtac TMIC Guided Cylinder with Guide Unit TMICM16X200S
Built around a 16 mm bore and 200 mm stroke, this double-acting guide-frame cylinder pairs a variable air cushion with a twin-rod aluminium slide running on brass bearings. The needle-set cushion at each end soaks up high-speed shock for smooth, quiet motion, while the brass bearing design provides high torsional stiffness to shrug off radial loads that twist the tool.
At 0.5 MPa it delivers 100.5 N of push force, giving a safe working thrust of roughly 60 N or a vertical push of about 5.1 kg with a 2:1 margin, load curve permitting. Because the frame carries the side load, remember the actual payload limit falls as the load sits further from the plate—always size from the load-offset curve rather than thrust alone. The M5x0.8 port feeds the 6 mm rod, and the -S suffix means a magnet is fitted for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches.

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 TMICM16X200S Is Used
High-Speed Diverting
Ideal for routing small packages at speed, using the 100.5 N push force and air cushion to absorb end-of-stroke shock without twisting the diverter arm.
Light Assembly Press
Suitable for pressing small electronic connectors, where the brass bearings keep the tool square under offset loads and the cushion ensures a soft landing.
Vertical Lift Gate
Handles rapid vertical gating of light totes, offering about 5.1 kg of vertical push with a 2:1 safety margin, provided the load stays within the curve limits.
Is the Airtac TMIC Guided Cylinder with Guide Unit TMICM16X200S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 16 mm bore unit, step down if your payload is very light, or step up to the 20 mm bore (157.0 N push @0.5 MPa) if you need more force. Choose this TMICM brass-bearing build over the TMICL linear variant when the load pushes sideways or twists the tool, as the brass offers superior torsional stiffness. The variable air cushion matters most at high speeds or with heavy moving masses, decelerating the stroke cleanly. Always verify the allowable load against the offset distance on the load curve, and use the -S magnet option for position sensing.

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 TMICM16X200S FAQ
It provides 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical max of 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Thrust is not the guided-load limit; the actual payload depends on the load-offset distance and must be read from the maximum-load curves.
The brass bearings give high torsional stiffness to resist side loads, while the variable air cushion at both ends decelerates the piston near stroke end for smooth motion. The cushion is not a lock or brake, so the piston drifts on air loss; use an external rod lock for holding. The -S suffix enables CMSG, DMSG and EMSG sensors.
