Genuine AirTAC hinge mount cylinder, order code MPGH6X25N from the MPGH6 range. The options this code selects are decoded below; series data follow the official AirTAC catalog.
MPGH6X25N is the plain-rod member of the AirTAC MPG hinge mount cylinder series: the N option code removes the male thread from the Dia 3 mm rod, leaving a smooth end for direct attachment to a customer-made tip, pin or bracket. It is double acting with a Dia 6 mm bore, 25 mm of stroke, and pivots on a rear clevis so the cylinder can follow a swinging load.
Because there is no magnet, the sensor grooves around the body cannot be used for end-position detection on this code; the magnet belongs to the S sibling. The rod guide remains precise without extra lubrication, bumpers cushion both ends, and the piston runs across the 30-500 mm/s speed band at a supply of 0.15-0.7 MPa (22-100 psi). Note that the catalog rod-end accessories, such as I and Y joints and bumper caps, are listed for the threaded rod, so confirm fitment from the datasheet before combining them with a plain rod.

Choose MPGH6X25N over MPGH6X25 when the load attaches directly to the rod and a male thread would be in the way; choose MPGH6X25 when you need the catalog I or Y joints and bumper caps that fit the threaded end. If position feedback matters, step up to MPGH6X25S, the only Dia 6 code with the magnet. If 25 mm is more travel than the mechanism needs, MPGH6X5 through MPGH6X20 shorten the stroke in 5 mm steps.
A plain rod end lets a custom pad press straight onto light parts; at 0.5 MPa the cylinder delivers 14.2 N push, sized for small holding tasks rather than heavy clamps.
Machine builders who turn their own tips fit them directly to the unthreaded Dia 3 mm rod, keeping the rear clevis pivot on a 25 mm stroke inside tight envelopes.
The 30-500 mm/s speed range and bumper cushion at both ends make the plain-rod body useful for gentle, repeatable motion on small laboratory or assembly devices.
Dia 6 mm bore, Dia 3 mm plain (unthreaded) rod, 25 mm stroke from the 5 to 25 mm range with +1.0/0 mm tolerance, double acting, 14.2 N push and 10.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, M3x0.5 port, 0.15-0.7 MPa (22-100 psi) operating pressure, 1.2 MPa proof pressure, -20 to +70 C, 30-500 mm/s piston speed, bumper cushion, 40 um filtered air.
The N option only removes the male thread from the rod; the cylinder still mounts by the rear clevis, and the SDB rear clevis bracket is available as an accessory. It does not add a magnet: with no magnet in this code, the sensor grooves cannot deliver position detection, which requires MPGH6X25S instead.
