Airtac TMIC Guided Cylinder with Guide Unit TMICM16X75S
The AirTAC Airtac TMIC Guided Cylinder with Guide Unit TMICM16X75S 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 TMICM16X75S
Built around a 16 mm bore double-acting MIC unit, this guide-frame cylinder integrates twin rods and brass bearings to take side load and torque. Needle-set variable air cushions at both ends soak up high-speed shock, delivering smooth and square motion. The -S suffix means a piston magnet is present for position sensing.
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N, yielding a safe working thrust of roughly 60 N. That equates to pushing about 5.1 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin, load curve permitting. It uses an M5x0.8 port, and because the brass bearing gives high torsional stiffness, it excels when the load twists the tool. Remember the allowable payload drops as the offset grows, so always confirm the exact capacity from the load-offset curve.

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 TMICM16X75S Is Used
Light Part Pick & Place
Lifts and transfers small electronic components vertically, using the 100.5 N push force and twin-rod frame to keep the gripper square during fast cycling.
Small Package Diverting
Pushes light cartons off a belt at speed, relying on the brass bearings to resist side load and the needle air cushions to halt the stroke quietly.
Component Insertion
Presses dowel pins into housings, using the guided frame to resist twisting torque while the cushion softens the end-of-stroke impact.
Is the Airtac TMIC Guided Cylinder with Guide Unit TMICM16X75S the Right Cylinder?
Size this 16 mm bore against its siblings: step up to the TMICM20X75S for 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, or drop to a TMIM16 bumper build if you lack the speed to need a cushion. Choose this brass-bearing frame when radial load and torsional twist dominate; switch to the TMICL linear-bearing variant for lower friction. Factor in the 75 mm stroke and verify the load-offset distance against the curve. Because this is an -S SKU, it supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensors, whereas a plain SKU cannot take a switch.
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 TMICM16X75S FAQ
It pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa, pushes 140.7 N at 0.7 MPa, and has a theoretical max of 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Thrust is not the guided load limit; the frame capacity drops as the load sits further from the plate, so size from the load-offset curve.
No, the piston drifts on air loss; use an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a load. The variable air cushion only decelerates near stroke end. The -S magnet enables CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensors, and the brass bearings handle high torsional stiffness.
