About the Airtac MPGH Hinge Mount Type Cylinder MPGH6X20SN
In the MPG ordering code, MPGH6X20SN combines both letters: S adds the piston magnet for position sensing and N specifies a plain rod without male thread. At 20 mm stroke this Dia 6 double-acting hinge cylinder can therefore be monitored by a switch seated in the body sensor grooves while the Dia 3 rod is left smooth for press-fit or clamped tooling. Output at 0.5 MPa is 14.2 N pushing and 10.6 N pulling through the M3x0.5 port.
The rear clevis pivots with the load and can be ordered with the SDB bracket, bumpers cushion both stroke ends, and the rod guide needs no extra lubrication. Supply 40 um filtered air at 0.15-0.7 MPa (22-100 psi); proof pressure is 1.2 MPa (175 psi) and the working range spans -20 to +70 C.

How to choose
MPGH6X20SN is the sensing-plus-plain-rod point in the MPG table: the same stroke without sensing is MPGH6X20N, and the sensing build with a threaded rod for joints and bumper caps is MPGH6X20S. If 20 mm is more travel than the mechanism needs, the adjacent step MPGH6X15 shortens it, while MPGH6X25 is the longest stroke offered on this 6 mm bore; the 5 mm step table carries a +1.0/0 mm stroke tolerance.
Applications
Switch-monitored micro slide
The magnet plus sensor grooves give electronic end-of-stroke signals for a 20 mm pivoting slide, while the plain rod takes a clamped carrier that a thread would obstruct.
Light part diverting flap
A rear-clevis flap nudged by the 14.2 N push stroke can route small packages, with the switch confirming flap position before the conveyor logic advances.
Fine position verification
In assembly stations needing proof of retract, the S option lets the controller read retract at the pull side, where the 10.6 N pull force and bumper cushion hold the plain rod home.
FAQ
What are the key figures of the AirTAC MPGH6X20SN?
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) with plain rod (N), rear clevis mounting.
How do MPGH6X20SN and MPGH6X20S differ?
Both have the 20 mm stroke and the S magnet for switch sensing. MPGH6X20SN ends in a plain rod, while MPGH6X20S has a male thread that accepts the catalog I joints, Y joints and bumper caps. Choose SN for smooth-rod tooling and S for screw-on rod-end accessories.
