About the Airtac MPGH Hinge Mount Type Cylinder MPGH6X20S
MPGH6X20S is the magnet-equipped, male-thread rod build of the AirTAC MPG hinge cylinder at 20 mm stroke. The S option places a magnetic band on the piston so a switch can be slid along the sensor grooves that run all round the body to signal end positions, which matters when the Dia 6 bore must prove it has reached its 14.2 N push or 10.6 N pull state at 0.5 MPa before the next step runs.
The threaded rod end accepts the MPG rod-end accessories named in the catalog, including I and Y joints and bumper caps, and the SDB rear clevis bracket supports the hinge mounting. Air enters through the M3x0.5 port over 0.15-0.7 MPa (22-100 psi), bumpers cushion both ends, and the rod guide runs without extra lubrication.

How to choose
This code differs from its siblings only in rod end: MPGH6X20SN carries the same magnet but a plain N rod, so choose MPGH6X20S when you want to screw on a joint or bumper cap rather than glue a stud. On stroke, MPGH6X15 and MPGH6X25 bracket the 20 mm size in the 5-25 mm step table; confirm the +1.0/0 mm stroke tolerance against your fixture. The no-magnet alternative is MPGH6X20 if switching is not required.
Applications
End-position confirmation on small gates
The piston magnet works with switches riding in the sensor grooves, so a compact latch or gate driven by the 20 mm stroke can signal fully open and closed to the controller.
Threaded push-off tip
A bumper cap or joint screwed onto the male thread turns the 14.2 N push stroke into a repeatable eject or nudge action on light parts, with the rear clevis absorbing misalignment.
Instrumented test rigs
Micro test stations use the M3x0.5 port, 0.15-0.7 MPa control range and switch feedback to verify small force and travel sequences automatically.
FAQ
What are the key figures of the AirTAC MPGH6X20S?
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, magnet (S) for position sensing, male-thread rod, rear clevis mounting.
Which accessories suit the threaded rod and the hinge mount?
The catalog lists I and Y joints and bumper caps for the threaded rod end, and the SDB rear clevis bracket for the hinge mounting. All of these are ordered separately, so confirm the exact part codes from the datasheet before specifying them.
