Airtac TMIC Guided Cylinder with Guide Unit TMICM20X200
The AirTAC Airtac TMIC Guided Cylinder with Guide Unit TMICM20X200 is a genuine guide-frame (guided) pneumatic cylinder — a Ø20mm 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 TMICM20X200
Built around a twin-rod aluminium guide frame on brass bearings, the TMICM20X200 delivers 157N of push thrust at 0.5MPa while shrugging off radial load and tool twist. This 20mm bore, 200mm stroke unit uses a 1/8 inch port and features a needle-set variable air cushion at both ends to absorb high-speed end-of-stroke shock for smooth, quiet motion.
The brass bearing provides high torsional stiffness, making it the right pick when the load pushes sideways. Keep in mind the frame's allowable payload falls as the load sits further from the plate, so always confirm capacity from the load-offset curve rather than relying on thrust alone. This non-magnet SKU cannot take a sensor; add the -S option for CMSG/DMSG/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 (Ø20mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 157 N | 132 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 220 N | 185 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 32 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 TMICM20X200 Is Used
High-Speed Diverter
Uses the 157N push force and variable air cushion to swiftly deflect packages on a sorting line without end-of-stroke slamming.
Side-Mounted Stamping
Leverages the brass bearings' torsional stiffness to keep an offset marking tool true during rapid 200mm vertical stamping.
Carton Flap Folder
Deploys the twin-rod guide frame to push heavy cardboard flaps squarely into position at high speed, absorbing shock via the cushion.
Is the Airtac TMIC Guided Cylinder with Guide Unit TMICM20X200 the Right Cylinder?
For lighter push needs down to 100.5N at 0.5MPa, the TMICM16X200 offers a smaller footprint, while stepping up to the TMICM25X200 raises push thrust to 245.3N for heavier tools. Choose this brass-bearing build over the linear-bearing TMICL when torsional stiffness and radial load resistance matter more than low-friction precision. The variable air cushion is essential for this 200mm stroke at high cycling speeds, as it decelerates the load smoothly without bouncing.
Remember that thrust does not set the payload limit; the allowable load drops as the offset distance grows, so size from the TMI/TMIC maximum-load curves. This specific SKU lacks a magnet and cannot host a position sensor; select the -S variant if your control sequence requires CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. For holding a load on air loss, install an external rod lock or pilot check valve, as the cushion only decelerates near stroke end.
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 TMICM20X200 FAQ
At 0.5MPa it pushes 157N and pulls 131.9N; at 0.7MPa it pushes 219.8N and pulls 184.7N, with a theoretical max of 32kgf at 1.0MPa. The allowable guided load is NOT set by thrust but by the load-offset distance, so you must verify capacity from the TMI/TMIC maximum-load curves.
No, this specific SKU lacks a magnet and cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches; you must order the -S variant for sensors. The brass bearings handle radial load, and the variable air cushion at both ends only decelerates the piston near stroke end rather than locking the load.
