Genuine AirTAC hinge mount cylinder, order code MPGH6X10 from the MPGH6 range. The options this code selects are decoded below; series data follow the official AirTAC catalog.
The AirTAC MPGH6X10 is the 10 mm stroke version of the MPG hinge mount series with a Ø6 mm bore and Ø3 mm rod. Its rear clevis lets the cylinder pivot with the load, and the male thread rod end accepts I joints, Y joints and bumper caps, so force from 14.2 N push and 10.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa can be delivered through the accessory that suits the fixture.
This code ships without a magnet, although the body carries sensor grooves all round for later retrofit thinking; if a position sensor is needed now, the S variant is the matching choice. Air is filtered by a 40 um element, pressure runs 0.15-0.7 MPa, and bumpers cushion both stroke ends.

Within the MPG hinge ordering code, the 10 mm figure fixes the stroke, so MPGH6X10 sits between MPGH6X5 and MPGH6X15 in the 5 mm step range that ends at 25 mm. Pick this code over MPGH6X10N if your tooling screws directly onto a male thread rod; pick MPGH6X10S instead when a magnet for position sensing is required. Add SDB to order the rear clevis bracket, since leaving that field blank means no accessory is supplied.
The rear clevis pivots as the fixture tilts, while the male thread rod takes an I or Y joint to press small parts with 14.2 N at 0.5 MPa.
A 10 mm stroke on a Ø6 mm bore gives short, precise nudges at 30-500 mm/s for nudging components into position on miniature assemblies.
The M3x0.5 ports and small, light body fit dense layouts; order the SDB bracket when the hinge mount needs a supplied clevis.
Double acting, Ø6 mm bore and Ø3 mm rod, 10 mm stroke (tolerance +1.0/0 mm), male thread rod end, M3x0.5 ports, 0.15-0.7 MPa (22-100 psi) operating pressure, 14.2 N push and 10.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 30-500 mm/s speed, bumper cushion, -20 to +70 C.
MPGH6X10 has no magnet, so position switches cannot be read as delivered; the body does have sensor grooves all round. The male thread rod accepts AirTAC I joints, Y joints and bumper caps, and the SDB rear clevis bracket can be ordered as the mounting accessory.
