Parker MA4525 Male Button Shock Absorber 0.91 in Stroke

Product Description

The PARKER MA4525 is a male button-style shock absorber designed to control deceleration forces in industrial motion control applications. Built with a steel rod and steel body finished in black oxide, this unit features a 0.5 inch rod diameter, 1.75 inch outside diameter, and a 0.91 inch stroke length. The 1-3/4-12 thread size and 5.69 inch overall length make it a compact yet robust option for mounting in tight machine assemblies. Licensed industrial maintenance technicians and machine builders typically install and service this type of component in automated equipment, fixtures, and pneumatic or hydraulic motion systems.

The MA4525 is suited for use in industrial machinery where controlled stopping of moving loads is required. Typical applications include end-of-travel deceleration in pneumatic slides, actuator mounts, pick-and-place equipment, and factory automation assemblies. The male button absorber style allows for direct, flush-contact energy absorption from moving components. This unit is rated for operating temperatures from 10 degrees F to 150 degrees F, making it appropriate for standard indoor industrial environments. It is sold and packaged as a single unit.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified industrial maintenance technician or machine builder. Depressurize and de-energize all pneumatic, hydraulic, and electrical systems before removing or installing this component. Use appropriate thread-locking methods per the equipment manufacturer's guidance, and verify alignment of the contact button with the moving load to prevent side-loading the rod. Inspect thread engagement and mounting torque against the host machine's service documentation before returning the system to operation.
