Parker MA3325 Male Button Shock Absorber 1-1/4-12

Product Description

The PARKER MA3325 is a male button-style shock absorber designed to decelerate moving loads and absorb kinetic energy in industrial automation and motion control applications. With a 0.375-inch rod diameter, a 1.25-inch outside diameter, and a 0.91-inch stroke, it provides controlled deceleration in a compact envelope. The overall length is 5.44 inches. The steel rod and steel body with a black oxide finish give it solid resistance to wear and light corrosion in typical factory environments. Mechanical and automation technicians install this type of component as part of pneumatic cylinder end-stop and actuator deceleration assemblies.

This shock absorber is suited for use in industrial automation systems where controlled stopping of pneumatic or mechanically actuated loads is required. The male button configuration allows direct contact with the moving load. It is threaded at 1-1/4-12, enabling installation into standard mounting blocks, brackets, or actuator end caps machined for that thread size. Typical installations include assembly line equipment, pick-and-place systems, slide actuators, and conveyor stop mechanisms in both light and medium-duty industrial settings.

Key Features

• Male button absorber type for direct load contact and compact mounting
• 0.375-inch rod diameter with 0.91-inch stroke for controlled deceleration
• 1-1/4-12 threaded body for secure integration into standard mounting hardware
• Steel rod and steel body construction with black oxide finish for durability
• Operating temperature range of 10 degrees F to 150 degrees F for standard industrial environments
• 5.44-inch overall length for straightforward dimensional planning

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install shock absorber for industrial automation equipment requiring a male button configuration with 1-1/4-12 thread and a 0.375-inch rod diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified mechanical or automation technicians. De-energize and depressurize the pneumatic or mechanical system fully before removing or installing the shock absorber. Use appropriate thread sealant or locking compound as required by the equipment manufacturer, and ensure the mounting thread is clean and undamaged before installation. Do not exceed the rated stroke or operating temperature range during service.
