Parker MA600 Male Button Shock Absorber 1-12 Thread

Product Description

The PARKER MA600 is a male button shock absorber designed to decelerate moving loads and reduce impact forces in industrial automation and motion control applications. The unit features a 0.25-inch rod diameter, a 0.88-inch outside diameter, and a 1-inch stroke length, making it well suited for compact mounting situations where space is limited. The body is finished in black oxide over a steel construction, while the rod itself is stainless steel for corrosion resistance. A 1-12 thread and 5.62-inch overall length allow straightforward integration into standard mounting arrangements. Licensed HVAC, mechanical, and industrial technicians working with actuator systems or automated equipment are the typical installers.

The MA600 is used in industrial and manufacturing environments where repetitive load deceleration is required. It fits applications involving pneumatic cylinders, linear actuators, and automated assembly equipment where end-of-stroke cushioning is needed. The male button configuration allows direct contact with moving components without additional hardware in many standard setups. Operating temperatures range from 32 degrees F to 150 degrees F, making it appropriate for typical indoor industrial environments.

• Operating range of 32 degrees F to 150 degrees F

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit shock absorber for industrial automation systems requiring a male button style unit with a 1-12 thread, 0.25-inch rod diameter, and 1-inch stroke.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by qualified industrial maintenance technicians or mechanical engineers familiar with motion control systems. De-energize and depressurize any pneumatic or hydraulic circuit before removing or installing the shock absorber. Verify that thread engagement depth and mounting alignment meet the equipment manufacturer specifications before cycling the system. Consult applicable machinery safety standards and lockout/tagout procedures prior to service.
