Parker MA4575 Male Button Shock Absorber 1-3/4-12

Product Description

The PARKER MA4575 is a male button-style hydraulic shock absorber designed to decelerate moving loads and reduce impact energy in industrial automation, material handling, and motion control applications. Built with a steel rod and steel body finished in black oxide, it features a 0.5 inch rod diameter, a 2.25 inch outside diameter, and a 2.91 inch stroke length. The overall length is 9.69 inches. It threads in via a 1-3/4-12 thread and is rated for operating temperatures from 10 degrees F to 150 degrees F. Licensed HVAC, mechanical, and automation technicians as well as industrial maintenance professionals are the typical installers of this component.

The MA4575 is suited for use in linear motion systems, automated assembly equipment, conveyor end stops, and robotic work cells where controlled deceleration is required. The male button nose style allows direct contact with moving machine members without requiring an additional striker plate. This unit is appropriate for both light industrial and heavier-duty automation installations where consistent energy absorption across repeated cycles is a design requirement.

Key Features

• Male button absorber type for direct-contact deceleration without a striker plate
• 0.5 inch rod diameter and 2.91 inch stroke for controlled energy dissipation
• Steel rod and steel body construction with black oxide finish for corrosion resistance
• 1-3/4-12 threaded mount for secure, precise positioning in mounting brackets
• Rated from 10 degrees F to 150 degrees F for use in a broad range of industrial environments
• 9.69 inch overall length provides adequate clearance for most standard mounting configurations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation shock absorber for industrial linear motion and automation systems requiring a 1-3/4-12 thread, 0.5 inch rod diameter, and 2.91 inch stroke male button configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation of this shock absorber should be performed by qualified mechanical or automation maintenance technicians. De-energize all pneumatic, hydraulic, and electrical circuits and lock out the machine before mounting or replacing this component. Use a calibrated torque wrench and appropriate thread-locking compound per the equipment manufacturer's specifications when securing the threaded body into the mounting bracket. Verify alignment of the rod axis with the moving load to prevent side-loading, which can reduce service life.
