About the Airtac MPGH Hinge Mount Type Cylinder MPGH6X15S
The AirTAC MPGH6X15S is a double-acting hinge mount cylinder from the MPG series with a 6 mm bore and 15 mm stroke. Its rear clevis lets the body pivot with the load, and this code carries the S option, so a magnet is built into the piston for position sensing on the grooved body. Push force is 14.2 N and pull force is 10.6 N at 0.5 MPa, with the M3x0.5 port supplying filtered air.
The rod end is male thread (no N suffix), so AirTAC I and Y joints and bumper caps can be fitted directly. Stroke tolerance is +1.0/0 mm, bumpers cushion both ends, and the rod guide runs without extra lubrication.

How to choose
Pick MPGH6X15S when your fixture needs mid-range 15 mm travel, sensor feedback and a threaded rod for accessories. If you do not need position detection, the non-magnetic MPGH6X15 costs less; if the load must be clamped without a joint, order MPGH6X15SN with the plain N rod. For shorter travel step down to MPGH6X10 or up to MPGH6X20, and add the SDB rear clevis bracket if you need a mounting accessory.
Applications
Magnetic position feedback
The S magnet and sensor grooves let you mount switches to confirm extend and retract of the 15 mm stroke in test fixtures and small clamping stations.
Fine-adjustment linkages
The 6 mm bore gives 14.2 N push at 0.5 MPa, enough for delicate registration and alignment moves where a larger cylinder would overshoot.
Pivoting small assemblies
The rear clevis mount absorbs angular misalignment, and the male thread accepts I or Y joints and bumper caps for custom tooling tips.
FAQ
What are the key figures of the MPGH6X15S?
Bore 6 mm, rod 3 mm, stroke 15 mm (tolerance +1.0/0 mm), double acting with magnet (S), male thread rod end. Push force 14.2 N and pull force 10.6 N at 0.5 MPa, port M3x0.5, operating pressure 0.15-0.7 MPa (22-100 psi), proof pressure 1.2 MPa (175 psi), temperature -20 to +70 C, piston speed 30-500 mm/s, bumper cushion, air filtered by a 40 um element.
Can I use a magnetic switch with this cylinder, and does the rod take accessories?
Yes. The S option means a magnet is built into the piston, and the body has sensor grooves all round so switches can be positioned on any face. The rod end is male thread, so I joints, Y joints and bumper caps from the MPG accessory range fit directly; a plain rod would require the N version.
