Airtac TMIC Guided Cylinder with Guide Unit TMICM16X75
The AirTAC Airtac TMIC Guided Cylinder with Guide Unit TMICM16X75 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 75mm stroke stays true, giving you a ready-to-mount linear slide without a separate guide.

About the Airtac TMIC Guided Cylinder with Guide Unit TMICM16X75
Built around a 16 mm bore, the TMICM16X75 guide-frame cylinder pairs a twin-rod aluminium slide with brass bearings to deliver 100.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. The brass bearing design provides high torsional stiffness, making it the right pick when the load twists the tool or pushes sideways. Needle-set variable air cushions at both ends soak up high-speed shock, ensuring smooth and square motion without a hard impact.
This 75 mm stroke unit pushes about 5.1 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin, load curve permitting. It uses an M5x0.8 air port and hits a theoretical maximum of 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Note that this specific SKU lacks a magnet and cannot take a sensor; the load it carries is governed by the load-offset curve, not 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 (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 TMICM16X75 Is Used
Light-Duty Pick & Place
Handles small electronic components at speed, relying on the brass bearings to resist torsional twist during rapid lateral transfers.
Small Part Diverting
Pushes lightweight packages off a belt; the variable air cushion absorbs the end-of-stroke shock to keep the motion quiet.
Guided Component Seating
Presses small bushings or pins squarely into place, using the twin-rod frame to prevent rod deflection under offset loads.
Is the Airtac TMIC Guided Cylinder with Guide Unit TMICM16X75 the Right Cylinder?
Size this 16 mm bore against the larger TMICM20X75 (157.0 N push @0.5 MPa) if you need more force, or keep it for lighter tasks. Choose the brass bearing TMICM over the linear-bearing TMICL when your application involves high torsional stiffness and radial loads rather than low-friction precision. The variable air cushion is essential for high-speed or heavy loads, decelerating the piston near stroke end. Always verify the allowable load from the load-offset curve. This non-magnet SKU cannot accept CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches; add the -S option if you need position sensing.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required thrust at your working pressure
- ✓ Load and offset within the load curve
- ✓ Bearing: brass (torque) vs linear (precision)
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
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 TMICM16X75 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N; at 0.7 MPa it pushes 140.7 N and pulls 120.9 N. The theoretical max is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Thrust is not the load limit—you must confirm the allowable load from the TMI/TMIC load-offset curve.
This SKU has no magnet and cannot accept CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches; you need the -S variant for sensing. It uses brass bearings for high torsional stiffness and radial load resistance, while the variable air cushion at both ends decelerates the piston near stroke end.
