About the Airtac MPGH Hinge Mount Type Cylinder MPGH6X15
MPGH6X15 is the 15 mm stroke version of the AirTAC MPG hinge mount cylinder with the default rod end: a male thread. That thread is the point of this code, because the series rod-end accessories, including I joints, Y joints and bumper caps, screw onto the threaded rod, letting you adapt the connection to linkages without machining. No S magnet is ordered here, so although the body carries sensor grooves all round, magnetic switches cannot report piston position on this build.
Mechanically it is the standard Dia 6 mm bore, Dia 3 mm rod double-acting cylinder: 14.2 N push and 10.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, M3x0.5 ports, 0.15-0.7 MPa (22-100 psi) working pressure with 1.2 MPa (175 psi) proof pressure, bumpers at both ends, and a rear clevis that pivots with the load over the 15 mm stroke.

How to choose
Choose MPGH6X15 over MPGH6X15N whenever the load attaches through a threaded joint or one of the series rod-end accessories; the N sibling deletes the male thread and must be gripped or clamped instead. Over MPGH6X10 you gain 5 mm of travel within the 5 mm step strokes up to 25 mm on this bore, and you save the cost of the S magnet if position sensing is not required. Add the SDB rear clevis bracket accessory if the mounting needs a separate clevis part rather than the integral hinge.
Applications
Articulated lever actuation
The male thread takes an I or Y joint so the 15 mm stroke can drive a swinging lever while the rear clevis pivots through the motion arc.
Light press or snap-fit station
A bumper cap on the threaded rod softens contact as the Dia 6 bore delivers 14.2 N push for seating small components in fixtures.
Small diverter pusher on lines
Mounted by its hinge at the rear, the cylinder nudges lightweight parts off a conveyor track with 10.6 N pull return over 15 mm of travel.
FAQ
What are the key figures of the AirTAC MPGH6X15?
Dia 6 mm bore with Dia 3 mm rod, double acting, 15 mm stroke (5 mm steps to 25 mm available on this bore, 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, male thread rod end, no magnet, rear clevis mounting.
Does MPGH6X15 support position sensing, and what screws onto the rod?
No magnet is fitted with this order code, so magnetic switches cannot detect piston position even though the body has sensor grooves; order an S-suffixed code such as MPGH6X10SN if switching is needed. The male thread rod end accepts the series I joints, Y joints and bumper caps, and the SDB rear clevis bracket is available as a mounting accessory; confirm switch and accessory part numbers from the datasheet.
