Parker MA225 Male Button Shock Absorber 0.75in Stroke

Product Description

The PARKER MA225 is a male button shock absorber designed to decelerate and cushion moving loads in industrial automation, pneumatic, and mechanical positioning systems. The unit features a 0.19 inch rod diameter, a 0.66 inch outside diameter, and a 0.75 inch stroke length with an overall length of 4.67 inches. The rod is constructed from stainless steel and the body from steel with a black oxide finish, giving it solid corrosion resistance in typical shop environments. Licensed industrial mechanics and automation technicians install this type of component as end-of-travel cushioning on actuators, slides, and transfer systems.

The MA225 is suited for light-duty industrial applications where controlled deceleration is required at the end of a linear stroke. It is a self-contained, non-adjustable male button style unit, which makes it straightforward to mount directly into tapped bores or fixture plates using its 3/4-16 thread. Operating temperature range spans 32 degrees F to 150 degrees F, making it appropriate for standard indoor industrial environments. This absorber is typically specified on pneumatic cylinders, robotic end-effectors, and assembly line fixtures requiring consistent, repeatable cushioning.

Key Features

• Male button absorber style for direct bore or plate mounting via 3/4-16 thread
• Stainless steel rod for corrosion resistance in light industrial environments
• Steel body with black oxide finish for durability
• 0.75 inch stroke length provides consistent end-of-travel deceleration
• Compact 0.66 inch outside diameter fits tight installation envelopes
• Operating range of 32 degrees F to 150 degrees F suits standard indoor conditions

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation male button shock absorber for light-duty industrial linear motion and pneumatic actuator systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified industrial mechanics or automation technicians. De-energize all pneumatic or hydraulic circuits and lock out mechanical energy sources before installing or removing the absorber. Thread engagement should be verified for full, clean thread contact in the mating bore before torquing the body. Do not exceed the rated stroke length during installation or operation, as bottoming out the rod can damage the internal mechanism.
