Parker MA35 Male Button Shock Absorber 0.4 in Stroke

Product Description

The PARKER MA35 is a male button shock absorber designed to cushion and control the deceleration of moving loads in industrial motion control applications. It features a 0.13-inch stainless steel rod diameter, a 0.42-inch outside diameter body, and a 0.4-inch stroke length. The 1/2-20 threaded body allows for direct mounting into compatible fixtures or manifolds. The body is constructed of steel with a black oxide finish, providing corrosion resistance in typical indoor industrial environments. At 0.1 pounds, this is a compact, lightweight component suited for precision pneumatic and mechanical systems where controlled stopping is required.

This shock absorber is intended for use in pneumatic actuator end-of-stroke cushioning, pick-and-place machinery, conveyor stops, and other light-duty motion control installations. Its male button configuration and threaded body make it compatible with close-tolerance mounting arrangements common in automated assembly equipment and linear motion systems. Qualified mechanical and automation technicians are the typical installers in both OEM and MRO service contexts.

Key Features

• Male button absorber type for direct-mount threaded installations
• Stainless steel rod resists corrosion in contact-zone applications
• Steel body with black oxide finish for durability and surface protection
• 0.4-inch stroke length for compact deceleration in tight spaces
• 1/2-20 thread size for secure, precise mounting
• Operating temperature range: 32 degrees F to 150 degrees F

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or drop-in component for industrial motion control systems requiring a male button shock absorber with a 1/2-20 thread, 0.42-inch outside diameter, and 0.4-inch stroke.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by qualified mechanical technicians or automation engineers. De-energize all pneumatic and electrical circuits and relieve system pressure before servicing or replacing shock absorbers. Use appropriate thread engagement and avoid over-torquing the threaded body into mounting fixtures to prevent damage to the thread interface. Verify the stroke length and load rating are appropriate for the application before placing the unit in service.
