About the Airtac MPGH Hinge Mount Type Cylinder MPGH6X5SN
MPGH6X5SN specifies the AirTAC MPG hinge-mount cylinder in the shortest 5 mm stroke with a Dia 6 mm bore and the N option: a plain rod end with no male thread, leaving you free to press, clamp or machine your own linkage onto the Dia 3 mm rod. The S magnet is still fitted, so switches can ride in the sensor grooves around the body for position feedback.
It is double acting, fed through an M3x0.5 port with filtered air at 0.15-0.7 MPa (22-100 psi), and delivers 14.2 N push and 10.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa. Bumpers cushion both ends, the rear clevis pivot follows the load, and the rod guide runs without extra lubrication.

How to choose
Choose MPGH6X5SN over MPGH6X5S when your fixture needs a smooth plain rod rather than a male thread; note that threaded I joints, Y joints and bumper caps cannot simply screw onto the N rod. Both share the fitted magnet, 5 mm stroke and Dia 6 bore. For longer travel pick MPGH6X10SN and up to 25 mm, and add SDB if the rear clevis bracket is required.
Applications
Custom-linkage pick points
The plain rod lets you design your own clevis or press-fit tip on the Dia 3 mm rod, ideal where a threaded joint would add unwanted length to a 5 mm stroke.
Home-position feedback on compact modules
With the magnet installed, a switch in the body grooves reports the fully retracted or extended position of a micro slide without extra hardware.
Short-stroke diverting gates
A 5 mm nudge from the Dia 6 bore moves small chutes or pins on conveyor lines, the rear clevis absorbing slight misalignment during motion.
FAQ
What are the key figures for the MPGH6X5SN?
Double acting, Dia 6 mm bore, Dia 3 mm rod, 5 mm stroke, magnet fitted, plain rod end (N, no male thread). 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.
What does the N in MPGH6X5SN change compared with MPGH6X5S?
Only the rod end. N means a plain rod with no male thread, so screw-on rod accessories such as I joints, Y joints or bumper caps do not fit directly; MPGH6X5S is the threaded alternative. Stroke, bore, magnet and mounting stay identical.
