About the Airtac MPGH Hinge Mount Type Cylinder MPGH6X10SN
The AirTAC MPGH6X10SN is the 10 mm stroke build of the MPG series hinge mount cylinder, ordered with the S option for a built-in magnet and the N option for a plain rod end. Because the piston carries a magnet, the sensor grooves machined all round the body let AirTAC magnetic switches read piston position directly on the cylinder, so end-of-stroke detection needs no external limit switch. The plain rod has no male thread, so it suits loads that grip, clamp or bond onto the rod rather than screw onto it.
The cylinder is double acting with a Dia 6 mm bore and Dia 3 mm rod, giving 14.2 N push and 10.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa over its 10 mm stroke. Air supply must be filtered by a 40 um element, working pressure is 0.15-0.7 MPa (22-100 psi), and bumpers cushion both ends while the rear clevis lets the body pivot with the load.

How to choose
Pick MPGH6X10SN when you need switching on a short stroke: the S magnet is what makes the groove-mounted sensors work, and codes without the S letter, such as MPGH6X10, cannot be sensed this way. Compared with MPGH6X15N, this code trades 5 mm of travel for a more compact envelope in the 5 mm stroke steps the Dia 6 bore offers up to 25 mm. Note that N deletes the male thread, so rod-end accessories such as I and Y joints or bumper caps, which fit the threaded rod of MPGH6X10, cannot be fitted here; the SDB rear clevis bracket remains available as an accessory.
Applications
End-position detection on small slides
The magnet plus the sensor grooves all round the body let magnetic switches confirm retracted and extended positions of the 10 mm stroke without mechanical limit switches.
Pivoting light-duty clamp
The rear clevis hinge follows linkages that swing as the Dia 6 bore applies 14.2 N push and 10.6 N pull, useful for small hold-down fixtures on assembly benches.
Compact eject or index pusher
The plain rod suits press-fit or clamped tooling tips on short 10 mm pushes, with bumpers cushioning both ends at piston speeds of 30-500 mm/s.
FAQ
What are the key figures of the AirTAC MPGH6X10SN?
Dia 6 mm bore with Dia 3 mm rod, double acting, 10 mm stroke from the 5 mm step range up to 25 mm (tolerance +1.0/0 mm), 14.2 N push and 10.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, M3x0.5 port, 0.15-0.7 MPa (22-100 psi) operating and 1.2 MPa (175 psi) proof pressure, -20 to +70 C, 30-500 mm/s piston speed, bumper cushion, magnet fitted (S) and plain rod (N), rear clevis mounting.
Can I use position switches with this cylinder, and which rod accessories fit?
Yes for switching: the S option adds the piston magnet, and the sensor grooves around the body accept AirTAC magnetic switches. No for threaded rod accessories: the N plain rod has no male thread, so I joints, Y joints and bumper caps for the threaded rod versions cannot be mounted; confirm switch models and the optional SDB rear clevis bracket from the datasheet.
