Parker MA150 Male Button Shock Absorber 9/16-18

Product Description

The PARKER MA150 is a male button shock absorber designed to decelerate moving loads and absorb kinetic energy in automated machinery and industrial equipment. With a 0.19 inch rod diameter, 0.46 inch outside diameter, and a 0.5 inch stroke length, this compact unit fits into tight mounting envelopes where space is limited. The body is steel with a black oxide finish and the rod is stainless steel, providing corrosion resistance in service environments. It threads in at 9/16-18 and measures 3.59 inches overall length. Mechanical and automation technicians install this type of absorber as a stop or end-of-travel cushion in pneumatic actuator systems, pick-and-place assemblies, and linear slide applications.

The MA150 suits light-duty industrial automation tasks in both standalone machine cells and integrated production line equipment. It is typically installed at the end stops of pneumatic cylinders, linear guides, or robotic arm travel paths to prevent hard contact and reduce mechanical shock. Operating temperature range runs from 32 degrees F to 150 degrees F, making it appropriate for standard indoor industrial environments. The male button style allows direct mounting into threaded bores or bracket assemblies without additional adapters in most standard configurations.

Key Features

• Male button shock absorber configuration for direct threaded installation
• Stainless steel rod for corrosion resistance in demanding service conditions
• Steel body with black oxide finish for durability and surface protection
• 0.5 inch stroke length in a compact 3.59 inch overall length package
• 9/16-18 thread size for standard threaded bore fitment
• Operating range from 32 degrees F to 150 degrees F for typical indoor industrial use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install shock absorber for light-duty industrial automation equipment using 9/16-18 threaded end-stop mounting points.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by industrial maintenance technicians or automation engineers. De-energize all pneumatic and electrical circuits before servicing the end-stop assembly. Thread the MA150 into the designated bore using a appropriate wrench on the body hex, taking care not to overtighten against the mounting surface. Verify stroke alignment with the actuator travel path before returning the system to operation.
