The AirTAC Airtac TMIC Guided Cylinder with Guide Unit TMICM25X200 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 200mm stroke stays true, giving you a ready-to-mount linear slide without a separate guide.
Built around a 25 mm bore twin-rod aluminium guide frame running on brass bearings, this double-acting TMICM25X200 linear slide delivers 245.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. The integrated MIC round-body cylinder provides a needle-set variable air cushion at both ends, soaking up high-speed kinetic energy for smooth, square stops without shock. Because the brass bearing (M variant) yields high torsional stiffness, it is the right pick when your tooling twists or pushes sideways.
With a 200 mm stroke and a 10 mm rod, this unit operates at 30-500 mm/s on a 1/8" port. For a safe working thrust, expect about 147 N (60% of the 0.5 MPa push), which translates to lifting roughly 12.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The actual payload you can mount depends entirely on the load-offset distance, so size strictly from the TMI/TMIC maximum-load curves rather than the thrust numbers.

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.
| 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.

|---|---|
| M | Brass bearing — high torsional stiffness, best for radial-load resistance. |

| ×200 | Stroke length in mm. |

TMI/TMIC family: TMI (bumper) / TMIC (cushion), bearing M (brass) / L (linear). Order the guide frame separately as F-TMICM25X200 when needed.
Shifts heavy work pallets along a 200 mm stroke, relying on the brass bearings to resist side load while the air cushion decelerates the 245.3 N push smoothly.
Drives a folding arm against twisting packaging materials, where the high torsional stiffness of the guide frame keeps the tooling square and true.
Moves a machining fixture between stations at speed, using the needle-set cushion to absorb end-of-stroke shock without bouncing the payload.
When sizing this 25 mm bore unit, step down to a TMICM20X200 if your application only needs 157.0 N of push at 0.5 MPa, or move up if you require the maximum theoretical 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Choose this brass-bearing build over the TMICL linear-bearing variant when your load applies heavy radial side force or torsional twist. The variable air cushion is essential for high-speed moves, whereas the bumper-equipped TMIM is better for slower cycles.
Remember that the guide frame resists side load but does not hold position on air loss; add an external rod lock or pilot check valve if you need to prevent drift. This specific SKU lacks a magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors—order the -S variant if position feedback is required.
Quick checklist
This 25 mm bore cylinder pushes 245.3 N and pulls 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa, pushing 343.4 N at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical max of 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Thrust is not the guided-load limit; the actual payload capacity falls as the load sits further from the plate, so you must verify the allowable load from the TMI/TMIC load-offset curves.
This SKU has no magnet and cannot take CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors; you need the -S variant for switches. The variable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end and is not a brake—the piston will drift on air loss, so use an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a load.
