About the Airtac MPGH Hinge Mount Type Cylinder MPGH6X20N
This MPGH6X20N order code calls for the AirTAC MPG hinge cylinder in the 20 mm stroke, with the N suffix giving a plain rod end and no magnet fitted. The double-acting Dia 6 bore with a Dia 3 rod delivers 14.2 N push and 10.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and air is supplied through the M3x0.5 port at 0.15-0.7 MPa (22-100 psi). Because the code omits the S option, there is no magnetic band on the piston, so position switches cannot read the piston even though the body carries sensor grooves all round.
Mounting is by the rear clevis, which lets the cylinder pivot with the load, and the SDB rear clevis bracket is available as an accessory. Both stroke ends are cushioned by bumpers, the rod guide needs no extra lubrication, and the unit runs on 40 um filtered air from -20 to +70 C.

How to choose
Within the MPG ordering table, the neighbouring stroke codes are MPGH6X15 and MPGH6X25, since 20 mm sits in the middle of the 5 mm-step range that tops out at 25 mm on this bore. Pick MPGH6X20N over MPGH6X20S if you do not need switch-based position feedback, and note that the N suffix means the rod has no male thread: rod-end accessories such as I and Y joints or bumper caps only fit the threaded version, so design your own attachment or order the threaded MPGH6X20 instead.
Applications
Pivoting linkage tensioner
The rear clevis hinge lets the 20 mm stroke follow a swinging arm, with the plain N rod bonded or clamped into a customer linkage; bumper cushioning softens each 14.2 N push stroke.
Non-sensing alignment slide
For micro-adjustment where position is confirmed visually or mechanically, the no-magnet build avoids the cost of a piston magnet while keeping the same 30-500 mm/s speed window.
Custom rod-end fixture
A plain rod gives a clean Dia 3 post for press-fit or adhesive fixtures; if a threaded stud is later needed, the threaded MPGH6X20 is the sibling code to switch to.
FAQ
What are the key figures of the AirTAC MPGH6X20N?
Stroke 20 mm (+1.0/0 mm tolerance), double-acting Dia 6 bore with Dia 3 rod, 14.2 N push and 10.6 N pull 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, plain rod (N), no magnet, rear clevis mounting.
Can I fit a position switch to this cylinder?
Not as built. The N code has no magnet, so reed or Hall-effect switches on the sensor grooves will not detect the piston. If position feedback is required, order MPGH6X20SN, which adds the magnet while keeping the plain rod.
