About the Airtac MPGH Hinge Mount Type Cylinder MPGH6X5
The MPGH6X5 is the shortest-stroke order code in the AirTAC MPG hinge family: 5 mm of travel on a 6 mm bore, double acting, with a male-thread rod end as standard because no rod option letter appears in the code. The rear clevis mount lets the body pivot with the load, and bumpers cushion both ends of the very short stroke, which suits quick tapping, holding or indexing moves.
There is no magnet in this build, so the grooved sensor track around the body stays unused unless you add external sensing; the MPGH6X5S variant is the magnet version. The threaded rod accepts the series rod-end accessories, including I and Y joints and bumper caps, and an SDB rear clevis bracket is offered for the pivot mounting.

How to choose
Pick MPGH6X5 when 5 mm of travel is enough and you want to screw a rod joint or bumper cap straight onto the male-thread rod. If you need a smooth plain rod to clamp or pin, order MPGH6X5N; if you need end-position switching, order MPGH6X5S; and if 5 mm is too short, the catalog steps the same bore up through 10, 15, 20 and 25 mm strokes.
Applications
Micro part present-and-clamp
The 5 mm stroke nudges or holds tiny parts on assembly and test fixtures, with 14.2 N push force at 0.5 MPa sized for light components.
Fixture locking pins
Mounted through its rear clevis, the cylinder swings a short locking pin or latch, with bumpers absorbing the stop at both ends of the 5 mm travel.
Small lever and switch actuation
An I or Y joint on the male-thread rod links the cylinder to levers on lab equipment or small mechanisms that need only a 5 mm throw.
FAQ
What are the key figures of the MPGH6X5?
Double acting, 6 mm bore, 3 mm rod, 5 mm stroke, push 14.2 N and pull 10.6 N at 0.5 MPa, male-thread rod end, M3x0.5 ports, operating pressure 0.15-0.7 MPa (22-100 psi), temperature -20 to +70 C, piston speed 30-500 mm/s, bumper cushion, no magnet.
How do I know if I need MPGH6X5 or MPGH6X5N?
The code without an N, MPGH6X5, has a male-thread rod end that accepts the MPG I and Y joints and bumper caps. MPGH6X5N has a plain rod with no thread, so threaded accessories cannot be fitted and you attach the load by clamp or clevis instead.
