About the Airtac PH-1 Hex Head Toggle Joint PH6M5
The PH6M5 is an AirTAC PH universal male elbow, a one-touch fitting that joins Dia 6 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube to an M5x0.8 female port at 90 degrees. Unlike a fixed PL elbow, the PH body swivels on its male thread, so once the fitting is tightened you can rotate the tube outlet to point exactly where the run needs it.
Push the tube home and the stainless spring gasket inside the chuck grips the OD to hold it against pressure; press the POM release ring and the tube frees instantly. This resin-series part is rated 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2) working, 1.5 MPa proof, -750 mmHg vacuum and -20 to +70 C. The body is PBT with a brass stud, and because this is an M5 size it seals with a small sealing gasket on the face, not with pre-applied thread sealant.

Fitting & Sealing Notes
- check Cut the tube square and clean before pushing it home, or the seal will leak.
- check Push until it stops, then pull back to check the chuck has gripped.
- check To release, press the collet ring fully in and pull the tube out.
- check Threaded parts arrive with sealant on the thread; M5 sizes use a sealing gasket.
- check Match the tube OD exactly - a 6 mm fitting will not hold 1/4" tube.
Where the Airtac PH-1 Hex Head Toggle Joint PH6M5 Is Used
Compact gripper on a pick-and-place arm
A parallel gripper on a SCARA arm with M5 finger ports takes the PH6M5 directly; the swivel body lets the 6 mm line exit downward even when the port faces sideways.
Vacuum ejector feed on a PCB handling station
Small ejectors on electronics depaneling and pick stations use M5 supply ports; this elbow turns the 6 mm feed at 90 degrees into the tight space beside the nozzle block.
Rotary actuator inside a packaging guard
A compact rotary actuator buried in a cartoning machine guard needs a fitting that can be clocked after installation; the PH6M5 swivels so the tube clears the rotating housing.
Is the Airtac PH-1 Hex Head Toggle Joint PH6M5 the Right Part?
On the M5 row of the PH ladder only two tube sizes exist: Dia 4 and Dia 6. So the neighbour down is the PH4M5, a size often chosen for micro cylinders and gripper lines. There is no M5 option above Dia 6 in this family - to feed Dia 8 tube you move to the PH801 with a 1/8 inch thread, accepting a larger port on the machine. Within this SKU, note that Dia 6 is the top of the M5 ladder, so it is the natural ceiling when a designer wants the smallest thread that can still carry a main 6 mm air line.
Match the thread to the component, not the tube: many compact grippers, ejectors and sensors are machined with M5 ports, and driving an elbow straight in then swivelling the body avoids side load on that small thread. And check the tube OD with a caliper before ordering - the PH6M5 holds exactly Dia 6 mm tube and will not seal on 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) imperial stock.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Tube outside diameter matches exactly
- ✓ Thread size and standard match the port
- ✓ Working pressure within 0 - 1.0 MPa (0 - 10 kgf/cm2)
- ✓ Temperature within -20 to +70 °C
Airtac PH-1 Hex Head Toggle Joint PH6M5 FAQ
The PH6M5 is a resin-series universal male elbow for Dia 6 mm tube with an M5x0.8 male thread. Working pressure is 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), negative pressure is -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure is 1.5 MPa, and the temperature range is -20 to +70 C. Applicable tubing is soft nylon or polyurethane, and the standard body colour is grey.
No. On M5 sizes AirTAC seals the connection with a sealing gasket seated at the thread face rather than applied thread sealant; only the larger inch threads in this catalogue arrive with sealant pre-applied. Keep the gasket clean, tighten hand-firm plus a small turn, and use the swivel body rather than over-torque to aim the outlet. Remember the fitting also swivels after installation, so final orientation is set without disturbing the sealed joint.
