About the Airtac MPGH Hinge Mount Type Cylinder MPGH6X5S
The MPGH6X5S is a 5 mm stroke build of the AirTAC MPG hinge-mount cylinder with a Dia 6 mm bore, double acting, and the S magnet fitted so reed or Hall-effect switches can be snapped into the sensor grooves machined all round the body. The rod ends in a male thread, so I and Y joints and bumper caps from the MPG accessory range can be screwed straight on.
Running on filtered air at 0.15-0.7 MPa (22-100 psi), this code develops 14.2 N push and 10.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa. The rear clevis lets the body pivot with the load, bumpers cushion both ends of the short 5 mm travel, and the precise rod guide needs no extra lubrication.

How to choose
Pick MPGH6X5S when you want position sensing and a threaded rod for bolt-on I joints, Y joints or bumper caps. Its sibling MPGH6X5SN shares the 5 mm stroke and magnet but ends in a plain rod with no thread. If your stroke is longer, step up to MPGH6X10S within the 5-25 mm range, and add SDB to the code if you need the rear clevis bracket.
Applications
End-of-stroke detection on tiny slides
The built-in magnet works with switches seated in the body grooves, confirming a 5 mm gate or shutter has fully closed before the next cycle starts.
Micro clamping of small parts
Dia 6 bore gives 14.2 N push at 0.5 MPa, enough to hold light components during a marking or gluing pass, with the male thread taking a Y joint for even contact.
Pivoting lever actuation
The rear clevis mount lets the cylinder swing with a short lever arm, and bumper cushioning softens both ends of the 5 mm stroke.
FAQ
What are the key figures for the MPGH6X5S?
Double acting, Dia 6 mm bore, Dia 3 mm rod, 5 mm stroke, magnet fitted, male-thread rod end. Force at 0.5 MPa: 14.2 N push and 10.6 N pull. 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 cushioning, rear clevis mounting.
Can I mount a position sensor on this cylinder?
Yes. The S in MPGH6X5S means the magnet is installed, and the body carries sensor grooves all round so a matching AirTAC switch can be slid on and positioned along the stroke. Confirm switch model compatibility from the datasheet.
