About the Airtac MPGH Hinge Mount Type Cylinder MPGH6X20
The AirTAC MPGH6X20 is the magnet-free, 20 mm stroke member of the MPG hinge cylinder family. It is double acting with a 6 mm bore and male threaded rod, so I joints, Y joints and bumper caps can be screwed on, and the rear clevis lets the body pivot to follow the load path. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 14.2 N push and 10.6 N pull.
With no magnet ordered, the piston carries no sensing element, although the body still has sensor grooves all round, so a magnet version would be needed for switch feedback. The 20 mm stroke is held to +1.0/0 mm tolerance and both ends are cushioned by bumpers.

How to choose
Order MPGH6X20 when the extra 5 mm of travel matters and no position switch is required; the threaded rod keeps the full rod-end accessory range open. If you need magnet-based sensing at the same travel, specify MPGH6X20S, and for a smooth unthreaded rod choose MPGH6X20N. Longer runs step up to MPGH6X25 and shorter ones down to MPGH6X15; add the SDB rear clevis bracket when you want a dedicated mounting part.
Applications
Compact hold-down clamps
The 20 mm stroke and 14.2 N push at 0.5 MPa suit small hold-down or retention fixtures on light assembly benches, with the clevis absorbing alignment drift.
Parts sorting gates
Use the threaded rod with a formed tip to flick or gate small parts on chutes, running at 30-500 mm/s piston speed for fast cycle rates.
Lab and test rig actuation
Filtered air through the M3x0.5 port and a lubrication-free rod guide keep this 6 mm bore cylinder clean for sample handling and small test movements.
FAQ
What figures define the MPGH6X20?
Bore 6 mm, rod 3 mm, stroke 20 mm (tolerance +1.0/0 mm), double acting, no magnet, male thread rod end. Push 14.2 N and pull 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 detect cylinder position with this code?
No. MPGH6X20 is ordered without the S magnet option, so there is no piston magnet for switches. Order MPGH6X20S instead for magnetic position sensing; the body has sensor grooves either way, and the threaded rod of both versions accepts I joints, Y joints and bumper caps.
