About the Airtac MPGH Hinge Mount Type Cylinder MPGH6X5N
The MPGH6X5N combines the shortest 5 mm stroke of the AirTAC MPG hinge series with the N plain-rod option: a double-acting 6 mm bore cylinder whose rod carries no male thread, so the load is clamped, pinned or clevised directly onto the smooth end. The rear clevis mount pivots with the load and bumpers cushion both ends of travel.
Because the rod end is plain, the screw-on MPG accessories such as I and Y joints and bumper caps, which fit the threaded rod, cannot be used on this code, and there is no magnet for position switches either; MPGH6X5S covers the sensing need. Air enters through M3x0.5 ports at 0.15-0.7 MPa (22-100 psi), and the piston moves between 30 and 500 mm/s.

How to choose
MPGH6X5N and MPGH6X5 share the same 5 mm stroke, bore, force and mounting; the only difference is the rod end, thread on MPGH6X5 versus plain on MPGH6X5N. Choose MPGH6X5N when your load grips a bare rod rather than a threaded joint, MPGH6X5S when a magnet for position sensing matters more than the rod finish, and longer codes such as MPGH6X10N or MPGH6X25N when 5 mm of travel is not enough.
Applications
Hold-down on jigs and nests
The bare 5 mm-stroke rod presses a pad or plate straight onto light parts in workholding, with the rear clevis letting the body tilt to seat evenly.
Prototype pivot linkages
A plain rod slides into prototype links, clips or drillings without needing a threaded adapter, ideal for fast design iterations on small mechanisms.
Small divert or stop pins
Pivoting from its clevis, the cylinder extends a stop or divert pin for light cartons, using 10.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa on the return stroke.
FAQ
What are the key figures of the MPGH6X5N?
Double acting, 6 mm bore, 3 mm rod, 5 mm stroke, push 14.2 N and pull 10.6 N at 0.5 MPa, plain rod (N option), M3x0.5 ports, operating pressure 0.15-0.7 MPa (22-100 psi), proof pressure 1.2 MPa, temperature -20 to +70 C, piston speed 30-500 mm/s, bumper cushion, no magnet.
Does the plain rod of the MPGH6X5N accept rod-end accessories?
No. The I and Y joints and bumper caps in the MPG accessory range screw onto a male-thread rod, so they do not fit the N plain rod. Attach the load with a clamp, pin or clevis, or order MPGH6X5 if you need the threaded end.
