Airtac TMIC Guided Cylinder with Guide Unit TMICM25X150S
The AirTAC Airtac TMIC Guided Cylinder with Guide Unit TMICM25X150S is a genuine guide-frame (guided) pneumatic cylinder — a Ø25mm 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 150mm stroke stays true, giving you a ready-to-mount linear slide without a separate guide.

About the Airtac TMIC Guided Cylinder with Guide Unit TMICM25X150S
Built around a 25 mm bore, this double-acting guide-frame cylinder merges an MIC round body with a twin-rod aluminium slide running on brass bearings. A needle-set variable air cushion at both ends soaks up high-speed shock for smooth, square motion. It delivers 245.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making it a robust choice for heavier tooling.
The brass bearings yield high torsional stiffness and resist radial load when the payload twists or pushes sideways. For sizing, a safe working thrust is roughly 147 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa push figure), or around 12.5 kg of vertical push with a 2:1 margin. Because the frame carries the torque, the actual load limit depends on the load-offset distance—always confirm the allowable load from the datasheet curve rather than relying on thrust alone. The 1/8" port feeds the air, and the -S suffix adds a piston magnet for position sensing.

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 (Ø25mm)
| 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.

Where the Airtac TMIC Guided Cylinder with Guide Unit TMICM25X150S Is Used
Pallet Diverting
Shifts heavy pallets sideways across a belt using 245.3 N of thrust, with the brass bearings shrugging off the torsional twist of the off-center load.
Case Flap Folding
Drives large carton flaps at speed over the 150 mm stroke; the needle-set air cushion decelerates the frame smoothly to protect the packaging.
Vertical Lift Gate
Raises a 12 kg guided gate vertically using a 2:1 safety margin on the 0.5 MPa push force, relying on the twin rods to keep the gate square.
Is the Airtac TMIC Guided Cylinder with Guide Unit TMICM25X150S the Right Cylinder?
If 245.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa is excessive, dropping to the TMICM20X150S cuts the thrust to 157.0 N while retaining the cushioned brass-bearing frame. If you need more force, this 25 mm bore is the largest cushioned option in the family, so exceeding 50 kgf theoretical max requires a different platform. Choose these brass bearings over the linear-bearing TMICL variant when your load applies heavy side thrust or torsional twist rather than needing ultra-low friction.
The variable air cushion matters most when driving sizable masses at high speeds across the 150 mm stroke, preventing end-of-stroke slamming. Remember that the cushion only decelerates the piston near the ends—it is not a lock, so an external rod lock or pilot check valve is required to hold position on air loss. Finally, the -S magnet equips the unit for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors; without the S suffix, a SKU cannot take a switch.

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 TMICM25X150S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 245.3 N and pulls 206.1 N; at 0.7 MPa it pushes 343.4 N and pulls 288.5 N. The theoretical maximum force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. However, thrust is not the load limit—the allowable payload depends on the load-offset distance and must be verified from the TMI/TMIC maximum-load curves.
No, the variable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of stroke to absorb shock; it is not a brake or lock, so the piston will drift on air loss. For position holding, use an external rod lock or pilot check valve. The -S suffix on this model includes a piston magnet, allowing the use of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.
